This is Us is a family drama that is certain to pull on your heartstrings. There is enough emotional content to keep viewers tuned into each episode. One of the factors that may contribute to This is Us ‘ success, is that the characters deal with real issues, in ways real people often would. This not only makes the characters realistic but relatable. By drawing on that emotional pull, everyone who tunes into This is Us will find a character they can see themselves in, identify with and bond with.
The essential plot of This is Us focuses on life and ties it together with birthdays. This in itself is ingenious because the show is dealing with life and what could be a better starting point for a show on life than birth? In the pilot episode, Jack Pearson and his wife Rebecca are expecting triplets. It is Jack’s 36th birthday and Rebecca goes into labor on his birthday. From the very first episode, you are faced with an onslaught of human emotions regarding the highs and lows of life, how coincidences or divine timing can factor into our lives when we least expect it and how people are often connected in deeper ways than what appears on the outside.
This is Us makes great use of the number 36. It is Jack’s 36th birthday when the children are born and the show fast forwards to the children’s 36th birthday. It is an innovative approach to the show and each episode bounces back in time to the past and current date. But for each of the children, 36 plays an important year in their life as it when the show picks up. Each of the children, Kate, Kevin and Randall, are making life changes at this point in time. When looking back in time, we see Jack at 36-years-old, then see how he and Rebecca moved forward in their lives. We see the children in their younger years through flashback moments which gives greater character insight.
