The whole series is a human masterpice, this episode smashed me to ashes. Thanks guys for making this outstanding amazing heaven on earth. Whish more people could change loving each other. Life hard and short as it is, feed your souls with pure humanity, compassion and love. This series is defenetly a must see!

Sometimes an event occurs that when it is over, you just sit there dazed in amazement. This episode "Songbird Road: Part One" is one such event. Often TV shows will rely on sex or violence to boost ratings. But "This Is Us" takes a different approach by creatively weaving a story of a family through the decades and then telling that story from the perspective of different family members from their life lens as children and then as adults.

This episode is the epitome of outstanding story-telling. The story is excellently told using different time lines, amazing acting (even secondary characters), perfect scripting, and phenomenal camera work. Yes, the adjectives are appropriate!

If you want a lot of action, if you want laugh tracks and silly comedy, if you want blood or thrills, this series and this episode are not for you. But if you value a powerful drama that displays the human condition in its natural form.... with the struggles, emotions, achievements, failures and victories.... then you will not find a better series anywhere. This episode "Songbird Road: Part One" is the Mount Everest of TV drama. It is hard to imagine that any TV drama could be any better than what was shown and achieved in this particular episode!

What an amazing episode, great story, great acting and incredible directing, perhaps the best episode yet. Little Nicky is sooo natural Great job all of u.

I can't believe what I have just watched! This is so emotional, so amazing, I'm completely speechless. This is Us This is EPIC!!

*wipes tears* My eyes are still watering from that episode. What an amazing performance from the actors especially Jack, Nicholas, Kevin and Rebecca. The stand outs from the episode. The flashbacks especially the Vietnam one tie up the previous Vietnam storyline so beautifully and emotional you just want to go to Jack, listen to him. You feel the pain coming from Nicholas especially finding out what happened to Jack. At the end I was like wanting more and to know this is part 1. I will definitely need tissues for the next part. I've been hanging on the fence with some episodes of the show but this episode powerful!

Twisty, surprising, and emotional, Songbird Road: Part One is probably the best episode yet of season 3. Unlike some episodes of season 3, which have felt forced at times, the emotion that is emitted from this one is so naturally poignant. From the directing to the acting and even to the editing, this episode was just impeccable. If you haven't watched yet, be ready with tissues and your full attention. Bring on part 2! 10/10

I started watching this on the recommendation of a friend. She raved about the show. I started watching, and was instantly hooked. The cast is amazing! The storylines are by turn, funny, emotional, sad, and deeply satisfying. I am thoroughly engaged with each and every episode. Be prepared to shed some tears, because there are some gut and heart wrenching moments. I love the story of Jack and Rebecca, and how it unfolds over the course of the show. The characters are very real, and the love stories are very much on target. Not everyone is perfect, which is why it is so satisfying. Characters fall down, then get themselves back up. All in all, very much worth watching. I can't wait for the next episodes to air.

Tears again... Unbelievable. This episode, this tv show, this actors, story, everything is, now I can tell, the best of all time. The best of the humankind. The best what people can be. Full of joy, life, drama, emotions, love, mistakes, humanity. Everything what caracters talk about, act or just look, change my mind. Changes in every possible good way. It makes me with every episode better and better man. Thank you This is us. Thank you all actors, writers, directors, everyone involved in. Thank you for everything! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you! Very much. Greetings from your very great fan from Bor, Serbia.

It was very well directed! This episode is one of the best till now . A great bridge between mistakes and generations.

Nothing in this episode is done well. From the accident to the characters motivations, nothibg makes sense. Almost unwatchable.

This nicky part kept me hanging in this series and engaging. I am so curios about him and Jack about war as like as Jack death. Really very good episode. This series is amazing some of this series part may be boring but cliff hanger point like this really made me stick to this series i wish there are more like this.
