This is Us

One of my favorite television shows is This Is Us. This Is Us is a drama about three siblings and their lives. The program also goes back in time and shows the audience the lives of the sibling's parents. The siblings' parents are Jack and Rebecca. The parents were expecting triplets. But, one of the three children died during childbirth. Then, Jack and Rebecca adopted a baby at the hospital that did not have a home. That baby is their son named Randall.  The sibling's names are Kate, Kevin, and Randall. Kate currently lives in Los Angeles, California and has a boyfriend named Toby. Randall lives in New Jersey with his wife Beth, their two daughters named Annie and Tess, and his biological father named William. Kevin previously lived in Los Angeles but recently moved to New York. This is Us is currently in it's first season and it is one of my favorite television shows!
