This Is Us 2016 ‧ Tragedy ‧ 6 seasons
Tragedy? Is that really a genre? Or is that a sub genre??
I would think it belongs more in the category of "Drama".
I've never seen anything like that before.
Tragedy is a dramatic category, like comedy. In a tragedy, the protagonist, like Hamlet, is put in a situation that is literally impossible to overcome—and then we marvel, and are inspired by, how CLOSE s/he comes to achieving the goal.
I have followed postings about this show because I know that nothing this popular can be worth a damn. This is certainly melodrama. Tragedy is reserved for artists. This is the best province of insurance salespeople.
I'm glad you have a keen eye and are smart enough to figure that out.
I wasn't.
I'm not done lol...
I have yet to find a show listed as a "tragedy" on F _ _ _ _ i_ on Google!!
I can see it on all sorts of platforms...
Good post.
