The hit NBC drama, "This is Us", has just wrapped up its first season recently. However, its finale received conflicting reviews. Fans did not get a clear picture of Jack's death, who was played by Milo Ventimiglia, which led a lot of viewers commenting on the rather "disappointing" ending of the first season. However, ratings of the final episode hit the installment's highest since its pilot.
"This is Us" season 1 already ended last week, but fans are still talking about the controversial finale of the series. Some fans were not satisfied with the much-awaited episode of the show. They expressed that the NBC drama aired a "disappointing" finale. Most viewers expected to see Jack's death scene. However, what they saw was how his relationship with his wife, Rebecca, died. As of the moment, fans do not have any clues on how Jack met his creator, but the ending opened an interesting arc for season 2.
The show already has a green light for its season 2 and season 3. Fans expect "This is Us" to start the new installment by slowly walking them through the cause of Jack's death. Actress-singer, Mandy Moore, who plays the role of Rebecca Pearson, previously responded to the comments of fans saying that they cannot get everything that they want from the show. She encouraged the fans to have more patience in waiting for the revelations that "This is Us" season 2 will reveal.
Actor Milo Ventimiglia, on the other hand, shared that worse is yet to come to his character Jack Pearson. He shared how the viewers will see more bothering troubles caused by Jack's alcoholism on "This is Us" season 2.
Despite the negative reviews that the show has gotten from its season 1 finale, the ratings of "This is Us" has proven that many fans tuned in to see the episode. The "Moonshadow" episode was up by over a million viewers from "What Now." The series wrapped up the season with 12.8 million viewers and recorded a 3.4 rating from the 18-49 demographic. Furthermore, it has become the highest-rated drama episode on any network, as "This is Us" turned into the most-watched in-season Tuesday scripted program of NBC in nine years.
There is no word yet regarding the start of "This is Us" season 2's filming or what the storyline will be. The show creator has, however, promised to lean more towards the comedy side of the show. "This is Us" season 2 is expected to premiere in fall, so fans should wait a little longer to find out the definite schedule of its release on NBC.
