‘There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you’
The thing that makes “This is Us” so unbelievably awesome is exactly what I posted about yesterday.
I am still reeling from last night’s episode that took Randall and William to Memphis. And why?
Because the writers leave nothing on the table. They pack every brilliant idea they can find into each episode.
They know the show could be canceled at any moment. (It won’t, thank God — it’s been renewed for the next two years already.)
I cried and laughed and cried and did I mention cried? That’s how you do it. That’s the writer, the producer, the director, the talent, the EVERYTHING coming together.
I really need to sign up for Shonda Rimes’ screenwriting class. I have to. These stories aren’t telling themselves, you know.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you,” as Maya Angelou said.
And mine is killing me with each day that passes with it going untold.
