Totally agreed. Not that the two shows are similar in most regards, but the last show I remember really doing that character development that well and in a similar way was Lost.
Of course Lost got off tangent and things started going into a different direction altogether but the rich back stories was fantastic.
With regards to This Is Us though, I find myself way more enthralled with the flashbacks than the present characters. I wonder if that's been primarily due to wanting to find out about Jack's death and I wonder how that'll be after the next funeral episode.
