...haven't heard of it....but, if it doesn't involve the paranormal, guns or irradiated monsters-I'm probably not catching it....

None of the above. And no sex scenes I'd be embarrassed to watch with my teen. Most I recall was a scene heading towards sex, interrupted by a phone call. And all actually relevant to the story. (Trying not to put any spoilers.)

This is Us takes place during various time periods. Same people at different ages. You can tell the time period by cars, furniture, home decor, clothing....and tonight, one of the characters was finishing the new book she started. Misery by Stephen King.
Yeah, I meant to tell everyone but couldn't find this thread. Great show. Hope they squeeze in more King pop culture.

I didn't realize it was a different time period until the dude lit up in the hospital, then I finally put it all together.

Any more details on what the show is about?

Watch the first episode if you can...the ending made me literally say "Aaawww" out loud. I don't want to say too much :)
Yeah, what she said. The entire show is predicated on a particular plot twist and it's hard to describe accurately without giving it away. Watch the pilot.

Exactly. It really is important to see it unfold.

I would say that's true of many of the sub-plots too. Even last night....something we were wondering about was answered.

Anyone watch last night's episode? So many theories about what it all meant, but with this show it's never what you first think.
