Mayer tweeted, "Just saw the first episode of This is Us and I'm hooked. Cryin' and hooked." The singer added, "Not even wiping away tears for the next episodes. Just gonna let the first ones create tracks for a more even, efficient flow."

The show, which premiered on 20 September, earned rave reviews from fans and critics. It stars Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan and Ron Cephas Jones. The show follows Ventimiglia's character, Jack, along with his group of friends, all of whom share the same birthday and when they turn 36, their lives look to be changing forever.
