Debi Enker The Age (Australia) It's a fine start to the season on a show that's never been shy of big emotions. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Guy Pewsey London Evening Standard The strong performances across the board, and the sense of quiet intrigue provided by a tragedy looming in the distance, renders it a family affair worth sticking with. Jul 5, 2018 Full Review Emily St. James Vox This Is Us isn't a particularly good television show, but it's an excellent pressure release valve. And couldn't you use a pressure release valve? Mar 14, 2018 Full Review Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews This Is Us smashes barriers in its exploration of mental health and addiction. Rated: B Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Firstpost Where This is Us truly shines, though, is in the story of Randall. In his childhood flashbacks, an awareness of his race - and of the larger implications of being Black in America - brings with it stories of gradually coming-into-Blackness. Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Sara Wallis Daily Mirror (UK) Please take this as a warning. One moment you could be chuckling with joyful abandon. The next sucker punched in the left ventricle with some heart-wrenching scene. And it bloody hurts. Jul 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
