How Many Episodes In This Is Us The Final Chapter

Okay, let's talk about This Is Us. Specifically, the final season. How many episodes did we actually get?

It feels like it both flew by and lasted forever, right? Maybe that's just the emotional rollercoaster talking.

The Official Number: A Little Math Test

The official answer? Season six of This Is Us gave us 18 episodes. Yep, just 18 to say goodbye to the Pearsons.

Time to relive all the crying, laughing, and family drama. From Jack to the Big Three, they made us feel everything.

But Wait, Does It Feel Like Enough? (Unpopular Opinion Time!)

Now, here's where my unpopular opinion comes in. I don't think it was quite enough. Hear me out!

I know, I know, shows need to end. And sometimes, dragging things out ruins them. I get that.

But with so many characters and storylines, 18 episodes felt… rushed. Like we were speed-dating through the Pearson family history.

Think about it: we had Rebecca's journey with Alzheimer's. Then there was Kevin's romantic quest and Kate's new love. And don't forget Randall's political aspirations and family life!

Each of those deserves a miniseries! Okay, maybe not, but still...

What Could Have Been: My Wishlist

I'm not saying the ending was bad. It was actually quite touching, and I may have shed a tear or two (or ten).

But I'd have loved a few more episodes to really savor those final moments. Some episodes could explore the kids' future.

Imagine an entire episode dedicated to Jack's early life. Or maybe a deeper dive into Nicky's past.

Or even more Miguel! We barely got enough of that amazing character!

Maybe It's Just Me...

Perhaps I'm just greedy. Maybe I just didn't want to say goodbye to This Is Us. Is that so wrong?

After six seasons, these characters feel like family. It's hard to let go! Each character is unique and full of personality.

I needed more time to process all of the feels that This Is Us always gave me.

The Re-Watch Factor

The good news is, 18 episodes makes for a manageable re-watch. I'm already planning my next binge.

This time, armed with tissues and a greater appreciation for every little moment. And also, a strong sense of appreciation.

Maybe on the next re-watch, 18 episodes will feel like just the right amount. Probably not, but hey, a girl can dream!

Let's Debate: Enough or Not Enough?

So, what do you think? Were 18 episodes enough to wrap up the story of This Is Us?

Or do you agree that we deserved a few more hours with the Pearsons? Let me know your thoughts!

At the very least, we can all agree that This Is Us gave us some unforgettable TV moments.

It changed the way we view family dramas, right? Even if we secretly wanted another season.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch the pilot episode... again.
