Storyline

Rebecca Pearson once had a difficult pregnancy with triplets. The resulting births occurred on the same day as her husband Jack Pearson's thirty-sixth birthday. The lives of Rebecca, Jack and their three offspring - Kevin, Kate and Randall - are presented at different points in time. The Rebecca and Jack stories generally take place during the early stage of their marriage, surrounding the birth of the three children, or at different phases of the children's upbringing, which was not always smooth sailing for any of the five. Separate stories concerning Kevin, Kate and Randall are also presented in their adult years, each who has his or her own baggage resulting from that upbringing: Kevin who was generally the neglected one because he had no outward issues; Kate who has always had weight issues; and Randall, the gifted one, being the visible outsider and being the "non-K" child.

Goofs

During flashbacks to the 70's and 80's that are in grocery stores, the products on the shelves are often in modern packaging. Only products that no longer exist are shown correctly. In one scene Jack is next to single serving plastic bowls of Kellogg's's cereal. These didn't exist in that time period. Only single serving boxes were available.

User Reviews

A portrait of life

• a portrait of life
• every character is unique in their own ways. Every character has their own beauty.
• there are a lot of plot twists, which are unexpected
• this makes me feel human life resembles each other, being happy and sorrowful is a part of life.
• yet I feel family values are a bit exaggerated, and sisters and brothers love here are quite overwhelming. There are a lot of coincidences in the series and this made it unbelievable.
