The best series are the ones with a clear endpoint, as many multi-season shows go well past their expiry date. This Is Us has embraced that mindset since the beginning with its timeline-jumping teases to its finale, which has allowed the viewer to attempt piecing things together. It’s been a wonderful puzzle to try to solve and watch come together, and its final season solidifies it as one of the best family dramas television has seen. This final outing should garner Mandy Moore her first Emmy nomination, and although This Is Us goes out on a high, I’m going to miss spending time with these characters.
