Okay, let's talk about This Is Us. Remember when everyone was obsessed? Yeah, me too. But now you’re thinking, "Wait, where can I even watch season one?"
The Great This Is Us Season 1 Hunt
Finding where to watch shows these days is like an Olympic sport. You need a strategy. You need stamina. And maybe a snack or two.
First stop? The usual suspects! Is it on Netflix? Nope! (Sorry, unpopular opinion: Netflix isn't the be-all and end-all of streaming.)
Hulu to the Rescue?
Hulu seems like the obvious choice, right? Most NBC shows end up there eventually. Drumroll please... Season 1 of This Is Us? Mostly! But keep reading...
Sometimes Hulu has gaps. It's like a treasure hunt with missing pieces. You might find yourself needing another option.
Peacock: The Home of NBC… Maybe?
Ah, Peacock, NBC's own streaming service. Shouldn't *This Is Us* be chilling there, sipping a metaphorical smoothie? Well, kinda.
Peacock often holds the current seasons. Finding *This Is Us* Season 1 requires some digging (or a subscription upgrade...).
Buying is Always an Option (Boo!)
Okay, hear me out (but I already know you'll disagree). You *can* buy episodes or the whole season on platforms like Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV.
But who actually buys TV shows anymore? It feels like going back to the Stone Age of DVD box sets. My bank account is already weeping.
The Library? Seriously?
Okay, this might sound crazy, but remember libraries? Those magical places with free stuff? They might have This Is Us Season 1 on DVD!
I know, I know, it's *ancient* technology. But hey, it's free! Plus, you get to browse the stacks and maybe discover your next favorite book.
Borrowing From Friends (The Highly Illegal Option – Kidding!)
Remember those friends who bought the DVD box sets? The ones I just mocked? Well, now's the time to swallow your pride and ask for a loan.
Just be careful and return it promptly! Nobody likes a DVD-borrowing deadbeat. And maybe bake them cookies as a thank you.
My Unpopular This Is Us Opinion
Ready for it? Here it comes... While *This Is Us* Season 1 was good, I think the show peaked early. Fight me!
The constant time jumps became exhausting. And the emotional manipulation? Let's just say I started needing a *lot* of tissues... from laughing, not crying. Okay, maybe both.
So, Where Should You Actually Watch It?
Honestly? Check Hulu and Peacock first. See what's available with your subscriptions.
If you're really desperate, consider buying it. Or, you know, just re-watch *The Office* for the millionth time. No judgement here.
Maybe just skip season 1 altogether! (Okay, don't do that. But also, think about it.) Ultimately, the choice is yours. Happy watching (or not)!
