I finally made until the end of This is Us and I can say that this was the best series I've ever watched. Not only because of the story of the triplets Kevin, Kate and Randall. But also because of the love they got from their parents, Jack and Rebecca Pearson. And about the way this story was put together, with all the flash backs and retrospectives about their lives...
I promise you won't get any spoilers if you keep reading this. Right now I am sitting at my desk, writing these words, while I listen to the series soundtrack and feel the emptiness for not being part of this family anymore. Along all the 106 episodes from the 6 seasons of this series, I listened to the opening song during my evenings. And, as it has already happened with so many other series, movies and books, I feel empty after finishing them.
I have to confess that I didn't make through the first episode at once. I thought it was so confusing that I stopped watching it after 15 minutes, and I couldn't understand why everyone had recommended me this series. But thanks to my friend who insisted that I would keep watching it. After I concluded the first episode, I could never stop anymore.This is Us is about family love. It's about life and death. It's about connection and synchronicity. It's about being together despite all our differences. About being at the right place at the right time. About a bigger thing that we will never understand.
When the world puts something this obvious in front of you, you don't just walk away from it.
I have cried in almost all episodes, from the beginning to the end, from the first to the last season. Tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears of beauty. The end of the series is simply beautiful and put in such an extraordinary way. Right now I am thinking about my own life, about all that has happened to me. About the hows and the whys...
The Big 3 were always together, until the end. And the Pearsons are part of my life now. It is really the best series I've ever watched. But will it be the best one forever?
I don’t know. But it’s a good question. Ask me again later.
