Rock but Solid Start: This Is Us "Deja Vu"


This episode was so beautifully written and performed.

"Deja Vu" is a beautiful episode that dives into two main storylines: one the fact that Kevin tries to put off the memories of his father during the shooting of his film along with Sylvester Stallone. When Kate get star struck with Sly, she mentions their father to him and it gets Kevin, who apparently hasn't grieved over the death of his father. And while filming the action scene when he saves Sly's character, Kevin gets a flashback of the night of his father's death and soon trips and breaks his bad leg.

The second story would be Randell and Beth meets with Deja Vu, who's brought to their home after her mother was arrested for charges. Things get dramatic quickly when Beth picks up Deja's mother's cigarettes and blows up in anger. Soon, Randell has Deja sit down with him and Beth as he tells her the story of how he was adopted into a family and hoping that she would embrace the adventures of a new life with a new family.

This episode was beautifully written with heartwarming moments with emotional turns. The performances from Sterling K. Brown and Justin Hartley were amazing. Even Stallone's performance, I think deserves an Emmy nod for Guest Appearance. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch This Is Us Tuesdays's at 9/8c on NBC.
