I honestly was so annoyed at the introduction of the new characters for most of the first episode and then was blown away at how they connected to the old characters. Damn you This Is Us!

I'm thinking maybe this show has redeemed itself. I really didn't love it so much after last year but if this season stays like this I'm fully invested.

When Kate started talking about Jack "watching" Steelers game from a young age, I just broke. She was trying so hard up to that point to not give into the reality.

Same here. I really like what they're doing with Kate right now. Her negativity has sometimes been too much for me, but she has the potential to be one of the most interesting characters. I love it when she's strong.

Me too. I'm in awe of how she raised a blind boy to have the confidence that he has as adult.

I think Kate has gastric bypass and dies, which is why Toby thinks Rebecca blames him.

And the song playing across that sounded so familiar, with the lyrics," I love my father and I love him well. I hope to see him someday soon." Very poignant. Was it in another episode?

While not all the episodes have the same stellar writing and emotional heft, so far this season is working for me. As always, the acting is great.

Agreed. I'm not always 100% on this show, but it does remind me to step back and see the big picture when it comes to family--they remember not so much what we say but how we made them feel.

Agreed. I always find myself starting to roll my eyes when things get too “twee” or cute, but they always reel me in at the end.

Bummer, because he used to be my favorite character.

+1
Sometimes he still makes me laugh, but his shtick is wearing thin.

They certainly do have a storytelling talent.

Thought last night's episode was strong.

I agree with a PP about Kate getting gastric bypass and dying -- totally makes sense. We'll see...

I really thought Randall was going to fire his Chief of Staff and make the more experienced woman his Chief of Staff...

Justin Hartley is so good. How does he not get an Emmy for his performance? I think he's just excellent on this show. I loved the flashbacks to kid Kevin with Randall's first panic attack....

+1 to Justin Hartley. He really is a great actor, very believable.

He's so damn good looking that I can't focus on his acting. And I know that makes me a jerk.

Is Chrissy Metz wearing a fat suit or is she really that heavy? Geeeez.

That’s what I thought in the first season and was so incredibly surprised to find he’s one of the best actors on the show.

She’s really that big. It’s shocking she doesn’t get help. If she were an alcoholic people would tell her to get help, but apparently eating yourself to death is different. Not saying you can’t be big and healthy , I’m all for some curves, but morbid obesity is no joke.

Not a jerk, just human. He is incredibly handsome.

This is exactly what drives me crazy. Her size should not be celebrated.
