How has Atlanta been? Too many shows I'm interested come on at the same day/time.

It's so good! It got the highest-rated premiere of any basic cable prime time scripted comedy since Amy Schummer.

Here are some clues during This Is Us that foreshadow the twist that was coming. Don't click if you haven't seen the show yet.

I loved it!

I ended up watching it entirely on a whim (it was on while I was folding laundry and I didn't want to hunt down the remote) and I LOVED it.

What? Nbc .....

I'm trying to watch it today. Their website is off putting. It has the show page, it shows a thumbnail for the episode. It says in like 4 different ways, "watch full episode." Cool. I click, and it says "No Public URLs. There are no public URLs for this media." On an otherwise really blank page. What the eff?

This was my old job. Making sure crap like that didn't happen on my company's media website. They could give you a trailer, they could give you other media or links, they could not invite you to watch it in four different ways! But this, this is just stupid.

Why nbc is always sucking.

A year too short. I'm 37 and saw it in second grade.

I'm 40 next month and also saw it in second grade. Weird.

I don't know if I missed the beginning or the end or I'm just stupid but I don't get it. Could someone spoil this for me to explain the twist?

I watched it. Love what I see so far. A lot of possibilities in this show!

See the last 5 minutes. Don't spoil it here, bc I think there are a lot of people who haven't seen it yet.

The twist is how all the characters are related....it comes together in the final few
moments of the show....I don't want to give a huge spoiler...if you watch the last 5 min you should get it.

I actually didn't find the ending a huge surprise - I had guessed it probably 2/3rds of the way in, mainly because there was SO much speculation in the previews about how the characters were linked that I was on alert for clues during the whole episode. SPOILER sentence next.

I don't think the time frames match up quite right (the triplets current age plus the reference to the Challenger explosion and their then age plus the parents looking so hippyish when they were born), but I am prepared to give the show some poetic license because I did enjoy it!

I happened on it by accident. I thought the dialogue was a little thin but it kept me hooked. Didn't see the twist coming. I'll probably tune in next week.

Yes especially since it was in Jan. Jan is when Kinder kids start to turn 6.
