But bring on Jack's little bro and the Big Three as 20-somethings!

And the actress who plays Deja is quite good.

Predictable because it's often how opioid addictions begin. And he has a family history of addiction, and clearly was aware of that and tried hard not to even take the pain pills, but couldn't. Seems predictable, but all too common these days.

People are complaining that various aspects of the show are not realistic enough yet here is a very realistic storyline & people are still complaining! The writers really can't win (at least not among the DCUM crowd).

BUT I am literally fast forwarding through the rest. So slow, over-wrought, dragging on, obviously emotionally over-laden bollocks.

That's funny because the scene with Toby in the coffee shop was my least favorite. I cringed through the whole thing.

That was so bad! Especially ehne he pured the water over his head. There's a tonal issue with S2 This is Us. Is it a sitcom, drama, comedy?

You are probably too young to get the Flashdance reference.

PP, I thought of the ice bucket challenge but yeah Flash Dance make sense too!

I was so glad Toby didn't have the bartender play "She's Having My Baby". What a yack-fest that would have been.

I think Kevin is going to steal a prescription pad from the ex-wife/girlfriend so he can get more drugs.

Randall is so WEIRD. Staring at Deja, waiting to knock her hand away from the shrimp? He is abnormally awkward.

Remind me: what happened to Jack's mother? She's never in the story, just the asshole dad.

I think the latest episode was more on line with last year.

Are we assuming Jack's brother died in Vietnam?

Yes

I feel like Season 1 had me ugly crying after every episode. This one I'm struggling to pay attention the entire hour. I hope it picks up soon.

Is she a doctor? I thought she was a nurse.

And yes, I'm aware that women can be doctors.

Last season, Randall annoyed me, but this season he's hysterical. So funny. Kevin is also *really* unexpectedly funny. And the montage of Toby in the coffee shop this last episode had me rolling. He doesn't annoy me as much as he annoys other PPs, but I do hate the way his mouth is always open. But that Hootie and the Blowfish montage was awesome.

DP. I agree, the water was too much, but I thought the dancing around the pole was hilarious.

Can someone tell me what the gala was for and why she was a major part of it? I thought she was just a nurse. (No offense meant to nurses, but it seemed strange.)
