This Is Us: Birth Mother (2021)
Best episode of TiU. EVER.
Needless to say, I SOBBED. This episode has got to be in the top five best episodes of This is Us (if not number one). It has everything that we love about this show; it is a story of love, loss, forgiveness, resilience, acceptance, and family, all in one episode!! Acting is excellent, and it's beautifully shot. Y'all knocked it out of the park!
This Is Us: One Small Step... (2021)
I love Nicky
Some of the best episodes of this show are the ones about smaller side characters. It is so interesting to see these characters get the attention and dimension that they deserve. The actors who play Nicky are both wonderfully vulnerable and heartfelt without over-doing it. Just really, really well done. P.S. When the snow globes broke, so did my heart, and I've yet to pull myself back together.
Lore (2017)
Long-time fan and loving Season 2's fresh take
I am a long-time fan of Mahnke's eerie and fascinating podcast, so when he announced that he was creating a show in 2017, I was very excited. I enjoyed the first season very much when it came out; it is very similar to the podcast in subject matter and format. Season 1 was like listening to the podcast with visuals thrown in. Season 2 is a whole different beast--and I am loving it! My favorite episode of season 1 was "Black Stockings" which focuses on Bridget Cleary, an Irish woman who was killed by her husband after being accused of being a changeling. I liked this episode because, unlike the others, it worked more as a dramatic reenactment than as an informational show. Much like "Black Stockings," Season 2's episodes work more like individual narratives, and this format, along with the chilling writing and great acting, has given new life to the podcast I love! Season 2 hits it out of the park--it is suspenseful, haunting, and interesting with great sets, scenery, music, and actors!!
