Does anyone else dislike that they incorporated coronavirus into the show? It takes me out.

@the_argentinian I really hate it. I watch a show to take my mind off the damn thing

@The_Argentinian it wasn’t an issue for me for two reasons: first, they can shoot scenes and stay safe without introducing awkward or inexplicable moment/acting. It’s also a good way to show people wearing masks and applying security measures on screen. And finally, I love the that they talked about George Floyd and the protests and all. It would have been bad if they introduced one and not the other real life 2020 reality check. Yes, it was uneasy but it follows This is Us heart so far.

@the_argentinian this is us has always been a show that involves to the point of right now. Or are you forgetting the Super Bowl episode that came out a few hours after the actual SB and they had real time footage of it. They've always addressed current things and yeah while we watch shows to get away from it, it's good that they do it. Bringing awareness to all kinds of other stuff. The big ones being covid and George Floyd, but also the silly thing about cakes looking like real things. This will be a show that when we rewatch it again in a few years we'd be like oh yeah that happened that year

Agreed. It felt stilted and forced.

@the_argentinian and from the very first scene. Blech.
