Jack and Rebecca crucial Romeo and Juliettesque romance with good acting from Elizabeth Perkins as Rebecca's mom. Mandy Moore is solid both as a young wide-eyed love-struck go-getter and as a proud and confused elderly. There are many teary-eyed moments and character struggles of bittersweet life moments.
The directing and editing and writing are all amazing and coalesce in a brilliant and coherent, funny, frustrating, real and poignant moments for the tripplets. Randall seeing his mom sick and having to confront hi stepdad, Kevin desperately looking for love and his own fairy-tale romance, Kate trying to save her marriage in the midst of strong storms and deception and baby Jack reaching for the light...
Even, the music by special guest star is sublime and matches the show's mood and intent. Throw in some well=placed humour and plot twists for a delectable dish good for your TV diet.
Wow, This Is Us is always very good, yet this episode stands above the rest in the season and dare I say the series. Transcending and making us realise how life moments are so precious and precarious.
