vball10set;1838704 wrote:lol, it is listed as a 'TV drama', so you definitely got it pegged correctly

The last show I REALLY thought was close to this excellent was Parenthood, before that all the way back to The Wonder Years.

This Is Us is probably better than Parenthood and on par with The Wonder Years.

Seriously best show by far on TV, but do NOT start watching now, you HAVE to start on episode 1, HUGE cliffhanger that sets up the whole show...don't go looking for a synopsis or that will ruin it as well.

The first episode will hook you, just go watch it...you will be like "WTF???" near the end of the first episode.

I highly doubt it's better than some of the premium tv shows out there right now.

yup
