How to Watch the This Is Us Finale

Updated on 2022-05-23 By Heather C. Jackson

This Is Us

After six heartfelt seasons, This is Us will have its series finale on Tuesday, May 24, at 9:00 p.m, on NBC. The Pearson family’s journey, which now spans three generations, has been a family favorite and a mega-hit for NBC for six years, and it is finally coming to a close. Featuring a multi-linear story, This is Us tells the love story of Jack and Rebecca Pearson, their struggles and family life, the raising of their triplets, as well as the three young Pearsons’ adult lives as they try to find their own true love(s).

Of course, there are many powerful moments in this heart-string-tugging show, but for me, number 1 might just be the episode “The Music and the Mirror.” It chronicles Beth’s (wife of triplet Randall) path as a dancer and then teacher, but, more so, has a beautiful and emotional opening montage that shows in compelling microcosm the impact of COVID on small business owners and artists. Season 5 in particular stood out among a lot of fictional TV shows as embracing the pandemic as a very real part of everyday life, while not letting it overpower the storytelling. And, frequently in its history, while This is Us excelled at telling multiple stories at once, it was these singular episodes that chronicled one character’s journey through a series of life events and opened up a whole new backstory, that were the most compelling.
