This Is Us - Amazon Prime

My first impressions after watching a few episodes was that it's very schmaltzy and overlaid with sentiment as American productions can be at times I watched a few episodes and stopped for a while. From reading the posts here, I can see that's a lone opinion. So I've gone back to it and it's beginning to grow on me as I approach the end of the first series so I shall continue now it's beginning to reel me in, particularly following all these glowing appraisals.

I’m another hooked, I’m on season 2. I’m rationing myself to only watching late afternoon on wet days!
It may take a long time.

Ditto Jane43. I started watching this on Monday and I'm now on episode 16. It is addictive! There is no way I could watch this with my DH - or anyone else for that matter. I couldn't stand having to wait for the other person to be free to watch, or to hear them say they didn't want to watch more than one episode at a time. I binge watched 4 yesterday while knitting!

I can’t stop watching it. The only other thing I’ve watched apart from the news since last Saturday is A Suitable Boy. I’m on episode 9 and my heart is breaking for Randall. I mentioned it to my my daughter-in-law on Monday and she and my son are now hooked.

I'm currently watching series 2 and I love it.A friend told me about it ages ago and I never bothered to check it out.Then DD has been hooked and told me how good it was.Normally story lines that flip backwards and forwards in time annoy me but it's so cleverly done ,and all the characters storylines develop so that you really get involved.Having to ration myself to an episode or two at a time - and yes tissues needed !

Will definitely have a look at this.

Five Bedrooms is also good. I think that was on BBC iPlayer.

I loved that too and I hope there is a second series. Yes it is on BBC iPlayer

I loved this! You do need to watch it from the start though to understand everything behind it.

Loved it too, once you start you just have to continue.

Thanks for the heads up Jane43 - I've just watched the first two episodes and I'm totally hooked!

Another useful recommendation! Thanks!

I loved it too...

I love it too.

They are triplets! Well two siblings and the third adopted. We watched earlier episodes a few years ago and were pleased to see that they have made more.

I don’t know how we missed it but it’s good to have something really good to watch.

I loved this too and have watched the lot. Felt bereft when I realised I'd got to wait for the next series.

Love it, love it, love it

I envy you just starting it. I absolutely loved it. There are 4 series on Prime and apparently 2 more to come. I needed tissues numerous times. Love all the characters. Great viewing.
