Last night, many people watched This Is Us with other people at Super Bowl parties and did not want anyone to see them cry. But how could you not cry when Rebecca’s reality came crashing down on her that her husband, she was just talking to and seemed fine, is now dead. Mandy Moore’s face just reached into your soul and gutted it.
You were destroyed. And you were not alone. Millions of people were balling their eyes out with you including Chrissy Metz who watched her TV father die. Sterling K Brown captured her reaction and it breaks our hearts all over again.
Dang you, Dan Fogelman. My eyes are still sore, and there are not enough episodes of The Neighbors and Galavant to make my smile today. I want to be mad at you, but you are so brilliant and I am so glad that you are finally getting the respect your so richly deserve.
