When Is The Season Finale For This Is Us

Okay, let's be real. Are we still talking about This Is Us?

I feel like I've aged approximately 37 years just processing all the family drama.

And honestly, hasn't every episode since, like, season two felt like a season finale?

The "Actual" Finale: A distant memory?

For those of you living under a rock (or, you know, just enjoying a less emotionally taxing television diet), This Is Us officially ended in 2022.

Yes, that's right. The tear-jerking saga of the Pearson family has concluded.

It's over. Kaput. Finis. Remember that?

The actual final episode aired on May 24, 2022.

Mark your calendars... or don't. It probably won't change much at this point.

I feel like I needed therapy just from watching the penultimate episode.

Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. But I gotta say it.

I think This Is Us should have ended sooner. There, I said it! Don't @ me.

Hear me out. The emotional rollercoaster was starting to feel less like a thrilling ride and more like a broken-down amusement park attraction.

The show started strong. It had us all hooked with its heartfelt stories and clever timelines.

But by the later seasons, it felt like they were just adding more drama for the sake of drama. Did they jump the shark?

It's like when you eat too much of your favorite dessert and suddenly you don't like it anymore.

Maybe the real season finale of This Is Us was the episode where you personally decided you'd had enough.

Was it the one where Rebecca forgot who Jack was? Was it when Kevin's love life took another absurd turn?

We all have our breaking points.

Regardless of when you checked out, let's acknowledge one thing. We all cried. A lot.

This Is Us was a masterclass in manipulating our emotions. It was also a great source of memes.

Maybe the show's greatest legacy is the mountain of tissues it sold. And inspiring countless articles like this one, of course.

The show is over. Let the healing begin.

There are plenty of other shows out there ready to make us laugh and cry and question all of our life choices.

Maybe it's time to give your tear ducts a break. Or find a new show to emotionally invest in. The circle of television life continues!
