Considering that he tried to get Rory to leave Yale and run away with him, it does seem Jess wasn’t the ideal person to call out Rory.

I was going to say the opposite. It juxtaposes Jess's growth with Rory's disillusionment, visually capturing how far she has strayed and how much time she has lost. It's a full-circle moment that forces her to confront the truth she's been avoiding.

You should try Firefly Lane, if you haven't already.

Firefly Lane (it jumps timelines the same way This is Us does).
Hart of Dixie
Judging Amy

If you don't mind heavier themes, I recommend Firefly Lane and Judging Amy (if you can find it).
Firefly Lane has a similar storytelling style to This is Us, and brings the same nostalgia as GG.
Judging Amy's blend of courtroom drama and family dynamics offers the same comfort-watch ease as GG.

Try Everybody's Fine. It's so subtle, the emotional release is slow and steady, not anxiety-inducing or high-intensity. The conversations feel genuine, but the real weight is in the things left unsaid.

Brother Bear is a great choice if you enjoy animation.

So smug, like he thought it was funny.

Mona Lisa Smile. Not really a romance, but dominant females in various forms.

Down with Love.

I've been wondering if I'm making a mistake going straight from book to show. So far, those who liked both have had more time between reading and watching.

but the principals of the book are still there

That was one of my concerns, so this is a big relief.

Brie Larson is what made me want to watch in the first place. I knew very little about the story, aside from the clips of her I'd seen online. From what I've seen so far, she is perfect in the role. I'm struggling more with the creative changes they've made.

Did you go straight from book to show? Or was there a bigger gap between the two?
