"This is Us’ Season 1: The Story Behind The Moustache of Milo Ventimiglia

"This is Us" Season 1 has only been running for two weeks, but due to high acclaim, it has already been extended by NBC - giving it an 18-episode run. The dramedy has already been hailed as one of the best shows to premiere this year. Now, Milo Ventimiglia's moustache is one to talk about.

The second episode left many viewers shocked at the apparent time jump, with Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Jack's (Milo Ventimiglia) kids now being full-fledged kids and not babies anymore. The couple also looked visibly older.

One thing to note is Jack's distinct mustache, which was actually a risk according to its creator, Dan Fogelman. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he mentions that it was Milo who pushed for such look. Fogelman initially had reservations because he wasn't so sure about putting a moustache on such a handsome man, but Milo said that he wanted to push the boundaries of TV.

Overall, the moustache works not only for the actor, but also for the period where the show is set. Milo said that with the moustache, viewers could easily pick up where the characters are at a certain time. Characters also change through time, just like people in real life do.

As mentioned, the show has already been hailed as one of the best. According to HNGN, critics have given the show the title of 'Best Hour-Long Series of the Fall Season'.

Many viewers have cried and felt so much for the series, and the lead stars playfully posted a viewing of them apologizing to each one for making them cry. However, they ended by saying that they're not going to apologize for making the audience "feel things."

Other stars of the show are Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, Sterling K. Brown, Susan Watson, and Ron Cephas Jones.

The synopsis for the upcoming episode entitled "Kyle" is already out, and it already seems like it's going to be another tearjerker of an episode. See more of the show and Milo Ventimiglia's moustache on NBC every Tuesdays.

Here's the teaser for the third episode:
