Cait Raft Us Weekly 03/13/2018
This show, never short on twists, slapped us with a huge one in the last scene of the episode. Go to Full Review Maggie Fremont New York Magazine/Vulture 03/10/2018
3/5
Consider my heart stomped. Go to Full Review Amy Wilkinson Entertainment Weekly 03/10/2018
All of which is to say I was a little nervous to sit down and watch the second episode of This Is Us. But, thankfully, "The Big Three" not only lived up to "Pilot," but introduced an intriguing new wrinkle to the story. Go to Full Review Shabnaj Chowdhury Tell-Tale TV 06/16/2018
4.5/5
In some ways, This Is Us has manifested into a twofold mystery. Go to Full Review Kimberly Roots TV Line 03/12/2018
It continues with the same heart and humor displayed in the premiere, delivering warmth and comfort as handily as though it were a bowl of matzo ball soup fresh out of the kitchen. Go to Full Review Christopher Baldwin Baltimore Sun 03/10/2018
Overall, it was a surprisingly tear-free episode that fleshed out the characters and gave them some depth and some vices - to borrow a word from the episode - but was relatively uneventful. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
