This Is Us 2016

This show was ridiculously depressing for about 55 minutes. Everyone has problems, and hollywood just proved again that you can stretch out 55 minutes over one guy's failed career as sitcom eye candy, a guy looking for his father, a fat chick in crisis and a guy that just had two kids but lost one, and looks like he is hopped up on meth. All of this tied together by a loose thread that is everyone's 35 birthday, because that means something to someone.......even though it had ZERO relevance to the plot.

And as per standard "30 Something" script writing protocol, everyone has to have a positive resolution in the final five minutes in montage form, so that the people that aren't smart enough to know that they have seen this show's script 1000 times before, come back for more. (see suckers below)

Predictable show is predictable, watch at your own risk or you might be on prozac with the rest of this depressing cast.
