sepaloma Me ha encantado. Es divertida, tierna, los personajes son estupendos, especialmente el de Jack.

hccarter-92839 I have only watched the first season of This Is Us, and there was a lot to like about it. The structure of the episodes is engaging and the flashbacks are used in clever ways. The acting is good, with fairly good representation of POC that doesn't stick to all the usual stereotypes. Themes of belonging, grief, love and difficult issues around adoption and racial differences are explored, mostly effectively. There are, however some aspects of This Is Us which I think missed the mark. Firstly, This Is Us has been praised for its portrayal of Kate, played by actor Chrissy Metz. In a time where body acceptance and self-love movements are growing, despite having to fight against the continued stigmas present in Western society, I don't think This Is Us does much to add positively to this arena. Chrissy Metz is a really wonderful actor, one of the strongest in the show, but her character is almost completely based around her weight. We could applaud Hollywood for casting Metz in the first place, but what I really want to see is a confident, passionate woman with a complex character and interesting story arc, who also happens to be bigger than what Hollywood would lead us to believe is the norm. This Is Us didn't offer that. At least not in the first season. Lastly, I can't help but worry about the men in This Is Us, and I think the first season perpetuates some harmful stereotypes about men and romance. Jack Pearson, played by Milo Ventimiglia is by far the most lovely man on the show. He is loving, affectionate, communicative (mostly, although he does lie to his wife about borrowing money), and obviously cares deeply for his family. He also calls out some of his colleague's gross behaviour. Two of the other men in the show do not present such upstanding role models, but they are written as if they do. Kate's partner/fiance manipulates her, turns up unannounced at her home and at a family gathering halfway across the country (even though they were broken up at the time), follows her to a weight loss camp which she wanted to attend alone, doesn't respect the changes she is making in her life or the traditions she holds dear. Sure, Kate is shown to be initially outraged. She yells at him and reiterates her wishes (usually telling him he should leave), but in the end his disrespectful behaviour is shown to be a positive, and eventually she always relents and decides that his stalking is a sign of love. What a bunch of rubbish. Hollywood needs to stop showing us that ignoring women's explicit wishes is a sign of true love. Kate's brother, Kevin (played by Justin Hartley) displays similar behaviour. He somehow finds out where his ex-wife (of more than a decade) lives, shows up and then emotionally blackmails her into meeting with him and listening to his pathetic tale of woe (spoilers, he's a cheater and a liar, surprise surprise). In summary, This Is Us has a lot going for it. But unless the next couple of seasons give Kate a real life, and maybe kill off the stalkers, I'm not interested in watching any more.

maytekinaliyeva Forcefully and meaninglesslt prolonged one more show

Alice C This is a unique and interesting way to tell a story and I love that characters that are dead still have a life in the story with the past being featured throughout the show. It feels a lot like reading a book. Too bad the story itself doesn't lend to the enjoyment of the series. Summed up perfectly near the end of season 2 by Kate with a comment about possibly not crying for once. All the characters are insufferable, self-centered, and unlikeable. I find myself rooting against them. They also try to tell the story for the most dramatic impact and it just gets tedious and wears on the viewer. 20 episodes a season with nothing but drama gets really old. In sum it is a drama about a set of triplets and how they all individually had issues with their childhood which of course they use to blame their issues as adults. The characters are all really damaged and so self-involved in their own little worlds. This is definitely a 'you made me feel XYZ so I am a compulsive eater, a drug user, prone to panic attacks or whatever'. It is such a victim oriented show - I guess that is what is so off-putting. Take some responsibility - eating to be 400 lbs isn't because your Mom made you feel insecure, or your Dad died or people were mean to you. Popping pills isn't because your parents didn't pay enough attention to you. And a remaining parent constantly crying 'this is the best I could do, you were my entire life'. Whatever. My other pet peeve is they make the past look like the 70s or very early 80s. Well it would be the 90s because the kids are only in their mid 30s so they'd be teens in the early 90s. There are a lot of elements of the show that miss the mark like this. The doctor that delivered them for instance was at least in his late 60s and still in the show 17 years later so he'd be like 95 and he is basically almost in the same condition. There are a lot of liberties like this that most people probably don't catch.I watched this out of boredom on Hulu. I'm sure season 3 will be packed with more crying and drama as previewed at the end of 2. We'll have to live through a now depressed but still morbidly obese Toby and Kate, drama with the adopted defect teen Deja, etc. Frankly the best thing that happened so far is Kate/Toby not having their baby and Kevin unmarried. These people do not need to procreate and have another generation of unhappy people mired in nothing but self imposed drama.
