T10 WHATS UP! October 27 - November 2, 2019 One of the most beautiful things about "This is Us" is the way it tells its story through time, weaving moments in the triplets' lives from before they were born to further on in the future seamlessly within a sin- gle episode. You are never con- fused as to what time period you're watching, despite the show flip-flopping from decade to decade within moments. Ef- fort has been taken to subtly date each scene, from a shot of Kevin's G.I. Joe lunchbox, to the MacBook Air in Randall's of- fice. "This is Us" stretches from the mid-1940s to years into our future, and if you look hard enough, there are clues as to what the future holds for the Pearsons in each and every scene. "This is Us" may be a soap opera, but it does soapy-drama in such a realistic, down-to- earth way that I didn't even get to say, "Hush! I'm watching my soaps!" because I didn't catch on until someone pointed it out. Still feeling iffy about getting into a series with a massive cast and even longer timeline? Ask a friend who keeps up with the show and watch the expression on their face as they relive the moment Jack and Rebecca met, the death of Randall's biological father, Kate's wedding, Kevin's first crush and Jack's time in Vietnam. The new season of "This is Us" airs Tuesday nights on NBC. continued from page T2 Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia in a scene from "This Is Us" Family time: New season of 'This Is Us' continues on NBC TV FEATURE
