In addition the grand finale also scored amazingly well all across social media, generating 1.5 million interactions across platforms from Twitter to Instagram.

So, what did you think of the series finale of This Is Us? Share your thoughts below.

As This Is Us concludes tonight on NBC (9 pm ET/8 pm CT) after its successful six-year run, the creator of This Is Us, Dan Fogelman, took a moment to reflect on what the show has meant to him and to the audience by penning a love letter to the show which he shared on his Twitter account.

Fogelman included in his parting words for the series: “The end of This Is Us has been a bittersweet, but lovely march for those who have worked on it. We’ve no had so many occasions to clink glasses, and give gifts, and say sentimental things to other sentimental people at a sentimental moment in time.”

He added for the viewers: “I hope tonight satisfies and leaves you thinking, and feeling, and even smiling. I hope it makes you feel as full as your response to the show has made us feel, all these years.”

In his sign-off, Fogelman expressed:  And so, from the bottom of my heart, on behalf of all of “Us” … Thank you for taking the train ride with us.  It’s been the trip of a lifetime.”
