Loved This Is Us on Hulu? If yes, then these shows might be the best fit for you.
After six beautiful seasons full of love, warmth, and plenty of tear-jerking moments, the Pearsons’ story has come to an end. Whether we like the fact or not, This Is Us has ended after six seasons and the finale on May 24 marked the official ending of the show. The show might have ended but the Pearsons will always have a special place in our hearts. As Kevin said in Season 1, “I think that’s maybe the point of the whole thing. There’s no dying. There’s no you, or me, or them… it’s just us. And this sloppy, wild, colorful, magical thing that has no beginning, no end, that’s right here? I think it’s us.”
