The <i>This Is Us</i> series finale is being called "tremendous" by fans as they watched the Pearsons say goodbye.
“This Is Us” Came To An End After Six Seasons, So Here’s How The Brilliant Series Finale Came To A Close
? There are MASSIVE — and I mean MASSIVE — spoilers ahead for the This Is Us final season and series finale! ?
After six seasons and 106 heartbreaking and heartwarming episodes, the Pearson family said goodbye this week when This Is Us aired its series finale.
So, the final episode picked up after Rebecca’s death, as Kate, Randall, Kevin, and the rest of the Pearson family attended Rebecca’s funeral and began to process this monumental loss.
Despite the present-day setting being Rebecca’s funeral, the This Is Us series finale really felt like a big hug and included some happy moments, like Deja telling Randall that she’s expecting a baby boy.
Meanwhile, the flashback for this episode was simply a rainy Saturday in the Pearson house, as Kate wanted to hold onto her childhood, while Jack taught Kevin and Randall how to shave.
I was 100% weeping when Kate explained how she always pins the tale perfectly on the donkey. It’s fine.
The flashbacks made up a large portion of the This Is Us series finale, and those scenes were actually filmed at the beginning of Season 4, since the original little Big Three — Lonnie Chavis, Mackenzie Hancsicsak, and Parker Bates — are now much older.
This Is Us ultimately came to a close perfectly by focusing on the Big Three, Jack, and Rebecca. In the present day, the Big Three did their chant and talked about sticking together, while in the past, Jack took in his family, with the final shot being a look at Randall.
For a show that has been known for its twists, This Is Us ending on simple moments with the Pearsons was ultimately perfect. Talking about the final scenes of the show, Dan Fogelman told Deadline, “I always felt that that was the ending of the show and that, amid all the talk of twists and turns and death and house fires and appliances that cause house fires, where the show really lived was just with the family and with stuff that the family was exploring.”
“I always thought that the boldest and most confident step and ending for the show would be pulling out one final magic trick at the end. And then one big, emotional, sad ending and allowing the final episode to be a simple reflection on family and time.”
During and after the final two episodes of This Is Us, fans and cast members quickly shared their favorite moments from the episodes and reflected on how this was a perfect series finale:
