This Is Us plot

The show follows the “Big Three” Pearson siblings and their parents, switching timelines between the 1980s, when young couple Jack and Rebecca prepare for, and then learn to cope with, parenthood; and the present day, as we follow the three thirty-something siblings as they search for love and fulfilment into adulthood.

In the first season, the show followed adopted brother Randall as he searched for - and found - his birth father, and examined the impact of him growing up as an African American in an adopted white family.
