Is there a higher rating than 10? Not really sure what else to say, except this is probably the best hour of television I have seen since "Ozymandias" of "Breaking Bad". "This Is Us" has to be one of the best, if not the best, shows on television right now. And I'm not comparing this to "Breaking Bad" in any way as the shows are totally different, but I haven't been this satisfied with an hour of television since that episode of "Breaking Bad". Pretty much recommended for just about anyone as it goes deep into some of the deepest emotions life has to offer. In some ways it reminded me of "The Lion King" and "The Circle of Life", which is also a pure masterpiece of a movie, in my opinion. You'll understand when you watch this episode just what I am talking about. I would highly recommend watching the episodes leading up to this one to get to know the characters, but I would not say it is absolutely 100% necessary as long as you know the basic premise of the show. I say this because this is without a doubt the best episode of the series up to this point. If you just want to watch a power-house packed episode of emotions and gain a new perspective on life, watch this episode. Gather around with your family, grab some tissues, and enjoy.
