This Is Us (NBC 2016, Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia)

This Is Us is a refreshingly honest and provocative series follows a unique ensemble whose paths cross and their life stories intertwine in curious ways. We find several of them share the same birthday, and so much more than anyone would expect.

This Is Us was the most anticipated new series heading into fall with its trailer viewed more than 127 million times following the show’s announcement at the May upfronts. Critics have raved about “This Is Us,” with the Huffington Post saying, ‘Dan Fogelman’s new show harkens back to the glory days of feel-good TV. Get ready to fall in crazy, stupid love with NBC’s This Is Us.’

USA Today added: ‘… even if the season was crowded with great series, ‘This Is Us’ would stand out as a welcome and increasingly rare addition.’ The New York Times called it ‘heartwarming’ and Entertainment Weekly said the series is ‘brilliantly cast.’
