Cried my little eyes out. I am a breast cancer survivor of 20 years this May. Makes me think I am blessed to get this far already 💜

The last two episodes of this series realistically and beautifully summed up what life and friendship are about....all the million little things that go into the act of living itself. I think the way ALMT handled the subject matter of death with dignity or assisted suicide was thoughtfully handled and will hopefully get people to start having conversations about end of life wishes with one another. This conversation can be so taboo to broach, so I'm glad this series finale was aired with the hope it will get others talking. It was a fantastic series (I watched all 5 seasons) about life, love, and friendship ❤️!

I never thought I would be attached to another show This Is Us but AMLT grabbed my heart from the very 1st episode. It's been an emotional ride but well worth the journey. To say I will miss it is an understatement, however I'm glad it ended on their terms, allowing us some closure. Mendez broke my heart in the end; he was always my absolute favorite character. Outstanding cast!

love this show. i am glad it finished on their terms, and not been cancelled too soon. Now ABC has nothing to offer but so called reality tv. Even the Goldberg series finale was a disappointment compared to a Million Little Things. I hope to see these actors soon they all deserve new projects.

This was one of the best series finales ever!

Outstanding show every season was awesome and yes hated seeing gary die but the whole episode was handled so beautifully the show showed death is a part of life and though things can be hard we can still move forward and live life best finale I've seen for a show in a long time

The show was great I knew Gary was going to die long ago just always had that feeling and they kinda foreshadowed it at the beginning of the season.. They started the show at the memorial and didn’t show Gary and teased that it was his memorial but his dads..

I loved the dog part I’ll miss you Colleen it was like he was sad and like he was crying cause he knew his best buddy was leaving…

It was awesome how they showed how John was supposed to be on the plane on 9-11 and how Sophia got her name..

The show will be missed!!

We All Cried Then!

Well I just finished the series and those last 2 episodes were by far the hardest things I’ve ever had to watch. It was beautifully done but to feel so connected to a character.

[lizziekilburn]

I wasn't entirely interested in the show at first, but what got me hooked was the music teacher in one of the earlier eps. When i saw this ep, i bawled like a little baby bc seeing it reminded me of the day i found out that someone close to me died from brain cancer many years ago.

[latoyiab]

I wanted the happy ending not a real life scenario, but that's just me. Regardless I've watched every episode and happy the crew were able have a finale vs being canceled like other shows I've invested my time into.

Starts with suicide
Ends with suicide

I believe in compassionate release. We agree to put animals out of their misery, the same should be done for humans. It’s their life

[dave]

I knew Kevin gave them the drugs and liked when they realized that he did. A big “Oh sh*t!” reality check. Plus, we all “knew” how “Don’t tell anyone” would end up.

I liked how Maggie decided to be the one to end Gary’s life. Plus, doing the “fast-forward” was good. So it took Maggie until Javier turned 16 to start dating again? Seriously?!

A very good show and it will be missed.

Also, they did ad David at the start of the show if he thought it would last as long as “Grimm” (6 years) and he joked that he hoped it would. Wr’ll see what’s next for him and the rest of the cast.

[souldrum]

Great show. However, I didn't like the idea of killing Gary off. The last 2 episodes weren't bad. In fact, they had extreme emotional impact. So they did their job. I just wish a show that had a somber beginning, closed out with a happy ending. Even seeing the flash forward didn't help. Because as a fan of Gary. I wanted him to be there. Overall, it was a great show. In the last 2 episodes, it was really tough to hold back tears. I barely was able to lol just didn't like Gary dying.

[lianelayman]

I will so miss the show. I didn't know Gary took his own life.

[ericrobin]

[stephie]

Welp scrolling through YouTube and I see this title so no need to watch the finale I have saved for the weekend 😂

What is the song they were playing, I tried Shazam it and it didn’t work

[kathyweiland]

Not sure if I like the idea of promoting medicinal suicide which is illegal in most States. Not a good message for our teens who have a high incidence of suicide in our country right now
