The life of an ordinary family that struggles against having a good and comfortable life, so they pass through the hard life and do their best, in order to save their children. As Kate, Kevin, and Randall, three brothers of the same age, who seek to have a good life and struggle against passing their 38th birthday.
The show digs a little deeper, exploring how each sibling's dreams and ambitions have been bolstered -- or hampered -- by Jack's influence on their lives.
All in all, this episode proved that incredible television does exist just by telling the simplest of stories. This Is Us is returning to its roots, and I will have a front-row seat watching it blossom.
"Katie Girls" reminded me a lot of my favorite episode from last season...lower stakes but emotionally nuanced. Or maybe the reason I connected so strongly to tonight's episode is simply because it put my favorite character front and center.
The terrific juxtaposition between the past and the present this week is all about mothers... It's a lovely bit of storytelling - so much so that I actually wish the Kevin and Randall storylines had been cut down a little to make more room.
"Us" has a knack for packing an incredible amount of story into its 42-minute installments, and as such they're often a mix of the good, the standard and the bad. "Katie Girls" was no exception.
