Over it. We said what we said
When the show premiered in September 2016, we all needed TV as an escape more than ever. The U.K. had stunned the world a few months earlier by voting to exit the European Union, and the U.S. presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was entering the home stretch. That’s when writer Dan Fogelman introduced us to the Pearson family, and a show that became synonymous with ugly crying.
“There is something cathartic in having a ‘good cry’ and, physiologically, crying releases stress hormones or toxins from the body. So it’s good for us!” Wynns told Mashable. And I agree. We needed that outlet and I truly did love the first season and most of the second. When my colleagues came for This Is Us, criticizing the sappy storylines as trash TV, I staunchly defended the show. But three years later, This Is Us feels like it will do anything for a tear.
For instance, at the end of Season 2, we met Beth’s badass cousin Zoe, who we soon learn will be Kevin’s new love interest for Season 3. Predictably, since Zoe is a secondary character , we don’t get much of her backstory—until the very last moments of the seventh episode. In a few quick lines, Zoe tells Kevin that as a child she was sexually assaulted by her father. It was a huge revelation, but then we didn’t hear a single thing about Zoe or her experience in any of the following episodes.
