Six Thanksgivings

Six Thanksgivings. Four great stories.  This Is Us Season 3 Episode 8 attempted one of its biggest feats to date to tell six cohesive, individual stories.  And while I admire the attempt, six was just too many, especially since only four of them made an impact.  While I have been invested in the Vietnam story so far, it just didn't fit in with every other story being told. The Thanksgiving element in the story didn't add nearly as much as it did ... more

Sometimes

This is love. This is perfection. This Is Us.  This Is Us Season 3 Episode 7 was by far the best episode of This Is Us Season 3, and there have been some pretty great ones.

Between Jack and Rebecca and Kevin and Zoe, there was a lot of love in the air, and it's beautiful.  J... more

Kamsahamnida

They may be self-involved and a little whiney at times, but when times get tough, the Pearsons are always there for each other.  That sums up the tagline of This Is Us Season 3 Episode 6.

Brothers and brothers. Mothers and daughters. Fathers and sons. Husba... more

This Is Us' Mandy Moore Says Ignoring Her Bond With Milo Ventimiglia to Play Early Rebecca/Jack Was a 'Challenge'

A great relationship with a co-worker is something to be desired… until it gets in the way of playing awkward, earnest new love. This Is Us star Mandy Moore tells TVLine that she and co-star Milo Ventimiglia had to “hold back on” their off-screen ease with each other in Tuesday’s episode, which chronicled a cross-country road trip that took place when Rebecca and Jack had known each other for just a week. “That’s something we kept in mi... more

This Is Us' Melanie Liburd on Why Zoe's Bathtub Confession 'Terrified' Her

This Is Us‘ Kevin went looking for answers in Vietnam, but in Tuesday’s episode, he unearthed one he didn’t expect: His girlfriend Zoe, played by Melanie Liburd, revealed that she’d been sexually abused by her father when she was a child. Liburd tells TVLine that when she took the part, neither she nor the series’ writers knew that the character would be a survivor of abuse. “I knew she had a trouble childhood, but I didn’t realize it would be anything this heavy or dark,” she says. “It&rsqu... more
