Carmen Phillips Autostraddle Tess Pearson is single-handedly scorching a new path. Oct 26, 2021 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com The way this series portrays human frailty and imperfection, especially as its male characters express those traits, makes it unique among TV dramas. Nov 12, 2018 Full Review Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly I'm sticking with This is Us - fandom, like family, is built on forgiveness, after all. My only hope is that the writers will take the upcoming winter break to remember something Kevin said in season 1: "Life is full of color." And not all of it is gray. Rated: B Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Firstpost On the one hand, the series has finally defaulted to delivering melodramatic twists - spoilers to follow - but on the other, it avoids jumping the shark by grounding each reveal in the characters' deeply personal journeys. Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Silvina Lamazares Clarín The [show's] subtle handling of emotions... manages to continue to remove the five central characters' layers to uncover their pain. And, every so often, their triumphs. [Full review in Spanish] May 13, 2019 Full Review Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice This Is Us returns with its form intact, giving its fan base what they want, while offering everyone else an hour of weekly TV full of love, hugs and tears.

andy h This is us continues its winning streak with its expansion of a comforting family in a layered story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member God i was bored this season. Binged the first two ones and this one was a pain to finish. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Easily the best drama I've seen aside from Six Feet Under. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I gave it up. I just got so tired of going forward, going back, going further back and flying forward. Nothing ever seemed to be resolved. I just stopped caring and wanted them to all go away. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I just cannot stand people who insist on having children dispite the high risk to themselves and to the potential child. The pain and suffering is NOT moving. It's well-deserved. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I think this season was a turning point for the TV-show! If you thought it couldn't get any better than season 1 and 2.. well, you were wrong! The writers and the actors are just amazing and make you feel part of the Pearson's family. If you want to know more about these incredible characters, this season won't let you down! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
