As a doctor and a fan of quality television, I’ve observed the fervor surrounding NBC’s hit show, ‘This Is Us.’ Friends and colleagues have been raving about it, posting declarations like:
“Absolutely heart-wrenching!”
“I’m still recovering from last night’s episode!”
“Why do I even bother trying to keep it together?!”
Initially, I was skeptical. Sure, I enjoy a captivating series, but I’m not the type to flood my social media with exclamation points about what I’m watching. However, after giving it a chance, I found myself utterly hooked.
The show’s blend of nostalgia, family dynamics, and emotional depth resonates with so many viewers. Here are some compelling reasons why ‘This Is Us’ has captured our attention:
1. Relatable Struggles
Just like Kate, many of us have grappled with body image and weight issues. Her candid battles with obesity reflect our own challenges, creating a sense of camaraderie as we root for her journey to self-acceptance.
2. Toby: The Dream Boyfriend
Toby embodies the perfect partner. He’s hilarious, genuine, and his proposal to be “fat friends” with Kate is a moment that made many of us swoon. It’s hard not to fantasize about having someone like him in our lives.
3. Nostalgia for the ’80s
The flashbacks involving Jack and Rebecca take us back to a time filled with iconic fashion and memorable experiences. The warm, fuzzy feelings associated with ’80s culture keep us tuning in for more.
4. Emotional Release
In a world filled with stress and uncertainty, ‘This Is Us’ offers a safe space for catharsis. The show prompts us to confront our emotions and allows for those collective ugly cries we all need now and then.
5. The Adorable “Big Three” Chant
Let’s be honest: who doesn’t yell “Big Three!” at the screen? It’s a charming moment that brings fans together in shared enthusiasm.
6. Embracing Imperfection in Families
Social media often portrays picture-perfect lives, but ‘This Is Us’ reveals the complexities and imperfections within families. The characters showcase vulnerability and authenticity, reminding us that it’s okay to be flawed and still love one another deeply.
