Review: ‘This Is Us’ resists overdoing Jack’s death, thankfully
Spoiler alert: This story contains significant details from Sunday’s post-Super Bowl episode of “This Is Us.”
Well, it finally happened.
After a season and a half of teases, red herrings and emotional flashbacks, “This Is Us” finally revealed to fans exactly how Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) died. The espisode’s story takes place on Super Bowl Sunday (and in an episode that aired that night).
For a show that relies on twists and turns, it wasn’t exactly a huge surprise, if only because so many details had been revealed in advance. Earlier this season fans learned about the house fire, the batteries, and last week the Crock-Pot (a plot twist that caused such a tizzy the company issued a defensive statement).
