This Is Us: Family Meeting (2022)
Season 6, Episode 16
10/10
I'm an emotional wreck yet again!
12 May 2022
Have just finished watching this latest episode, Family Meeting. I'm in the UK and we have to wait 2 days until after it airs in the US so I'm always careful not to read any spoilers. It's hard to put into words how this show makes me feel, but as a man in his 50's it's one of the few things that has me in tears every week. I think it is all down to the fact that there are so many things that people relate to in this show as fundamentally it is about life and family. The juxtaposition here of your parents looking after you when you are growing up and then the whole thing being turned around on its head when you become old and in this case sadly afflicted with an awful disease is presented in an exceptional way. The acting, without exception, is also some of the best I have ever seen in any TV show and for me in particular, hats off to Sterling K. Brown who is absolutely fantastic. On a personal note, I have been thinking about my own mum who I lost nearly 10 years ago now. This show invokes so many personal memories in parallel to the actual story itself. Just brilliant in every way and I will be so sad when the series comes to an end in 2 weeks.
