Of late, no other television series has managed to tug viewers’ heartstrings as much as ‘This is Us.‘ The family drama has enjoyed tons of popularity and widespread critical acclaim. The complex narrative revolves around a large family composed of tiny, nuclear ones. By doing so, the series manages to incorporate the conflicts of multiple characters, tellings its tale from diverse points of view and providing enough emotional empathy for any viewer demographic to enjoy. Perhaps that is the reason for its popularity, apart from some brilliant writing and a cast of seasoned actors playing complex characters.

Simply put, ‘This is Us’ follows the Pearson family. However, neither their family nor the narrative structure of ‘This is Us’ is conventional. The principal characters of ‘This is Us’ are the three siblings: Kate, Kevin and Randall.

The story of ‘This is Us’ jumps back and forth in time constantly to document the adult lives and bildungsroman story of the three Pearson siblings. It highlights the family’s grievous experience of losing Jack when the siblings were 17 and the conflicts of Kevin, Kate and Randall’s adult lives.
