Below is the synopsis of "This Is Us," per IMDb.

A heartwarming and emotional story about a unique set of triplets, their struggles, and their wonderful parents.

"This Is Us" touches and melts the hearts of millions. It'll be hard to unseat the series as the top tearjerker on TV. The show holds a fresh rating of 92 percent and an audience score of 87 percent on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of publication. "This Is Us" is going strong, and many critics called "A Million Little Things" a ripoff with not as much depth. Deadline's Dominic Patten wrote back in September.

After a summer that saw the loss of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, suicide is a subject with more cultural poignancy than ever. Yet, starting out with the choice by Ron Livingston’s character to end his own life, this September 26-debuting drama created by DJ Nash doesn’t go much further that trying to find a version of NBC’s Dan Fogelman-created This Is Us‘ sweet spot for the Disney-owned network, as I say in my video review above.

Honestly, in seeking to investigate the depth of friendship the way that Emmy winner and ratings-buster This Is Us dives into family, A Million Little Things instead sprawls in a million different directions and blows almost a million opportunities while balancing on the precipice of sheer soap. From what I’ve seen, with its death, cancer, betrayal and more, the series starring Livingston, James Roday, Stephanie Szostak, Lizzy Greene, Grace Park, David Giuntoli, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, Christina Moses and Christina Ochoa has a lot of emotions flying around, but not much to grab onto.
