Alright, This Is Us fanatics! Let's talk about the show that made us ugly-cry into our tissues every Tuesday night. We’re diving into the heart of the final season, season six. Get ready for a sweet, slightly nostalgic trip down memory lane.
The Big Question: How Many Episodes?
So, how many emotional rollercoasters did we sign up for in the last season? The answer is 18 episodes of pure, unadulterated Pearson family drama.
Eighteen episodes to say goodbye? That might seem like a lot. But trust me, they packed a whole lifetime of moments into those precious hours.
Why 18? Was it Enough?
Now, was 18 enough? That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Some felt it was perfect, a neatly wrapped-up package of Pearson perfection. Others were left wanting more, craving just one more glimpse into their lives.
Think of it like this: 18 episodes is like a really, really long family dinner. There's laughter, tears, maybe a little bit of awkward silence, and definitely a whole lot of love. Did you always get everything you wanted? Maybe not, but you were definitely full at the end.
Memorable Moments We Can't Forget
Season six wasn't just about the number of episodes, though. It was about the *moments*. And boy, were there some doozies.
Remember the flash-forwards? Seeing the future of the Pearson clan, with all their triumphs and heartaches, was both fascinating and a little scary. Who knew where they'd all end up?
And let's not forget the wedding! A joyful celebration amidst the looming sadness of saying goodbye. Cue the waterworks!

The Great Kate Debate
Ah, Kate. Everyone had an opinion on Kate. Did she end up with the right guy? Was her journey satisfying? Debates raged on social media.
Whether you were Team Toby or Team Phillip, you have to admit, Kate’s storyline was a whirlwind. She faced challenges, found love again, and ultimately, found herself.
And wasn't that the whole point of This Is Us anyway? To show us the messy, complicated, beautiful journey of becoming ourselves.
The Jack Factor
Of course, we can't talk about *This Is Us* without mentioning Jack Pearson. Even in the final season, his presence was felt in every scene. He was the glue that held the family together, even from beyond.
His memories and lessons continued to guide the Big Three. Jack really did set the tone for everything, didn't he?
The Legacy of This Is Us
So, while season six might be over, the legacy of This Is Us lives on. It reminded us to cherish our families, to embrace the imperfections, and to always, always have tissues on hand.
It showed us that life is a tapestry of joy and sorrow, laughter and tears. And that even in the darkest of times, there's always hope for a brighter tomorrow.
And while 18 episodes might not have been enough for some, they were enough to leave a lasting impact on our hearts. So, thank you, *This Is Us*, for the memories, the lessons, and the countless boxes of tissues.
