I absolutely agree with this. I bloody LOVED everyone in this series EXCEPT her.I’m on the final season episode 11. The one about Kate and Toby.
Have to say I hate Kate. Not normal for me to dislike a character so much but she’s been so horrible the whole way through the seasons and as an adult she’s even worse.
Yep. I’m in the can’t stand Kate club too! There isn’t anything likeable about her character in any of the eras I don’t think! Except the littlest Kate who is cute to be fair.I’m on the final season episode 11. The one about Kate and Toby.

Have you viewed all 6 series ?I just came across this show on Prime and I can’t quantify the amount of times I laughed and cried in every episode. This show is like an emotional roller-coaster. I love it!
Kevin is a bit of a tool. I don’t like the way he treated Randall when they were younger. It really ripped my heart to watch those scenes.
Kate keeps whining all the time.
Randall is my favorite character together with William and Jack. They’re both so endearing.
I’m going through season 1. It’s good to know, thank you!Have you viewed all 6 series ?
I have twice, what a show. I had reversals on a few of the characters as the years rolled by. And what a strong supporting casts, William and Dr K come to mind immediately,
One of the best characters and played William amazingly, just loved him.Can’t believe Ron Cephas Jones has passed, he was tremendous in this!
Those are not unpopular opinions with me! I agree with them all, except I never really got to like Kate. There are SO many times when her reaction is completely ridiculous and she blames other people for all her own shit. And the dad worship for Jack is OTT!I just finished watching the whole series.
My thoughts:
- The first couple of seasons, I really disliked Kate because her entire storyline revolves around her weight. I had to skip every scene with her because of this. She grew on me after she and Toby got kids and he lost weight. That said, I really didn’t like what she did to Toby where he’d clearly landed his dream job in SF and he really seemed to get along with his coworkers. She really hijacked him and also didn’t seem super supportive after he lost his job.
- Miguel’s story didn’t get enough screen time. I really did like Miguel. He seemed like such a sweet, stable and reliable person. To be honest, I liked him better than Jack. Yes, Jack was charismatic and a great dad, but he had vices and a lot of baggage.
- Sophie was a useless character. She was boring and brought no added value to the show. She was just floating around here and there. I honestly preferred Madison. Sophie was too plain.
- I wish they had incorporated a bit more of Malik’s story in the flash forward. We don’t even know what his job is after graduating from Harvard.
Same with Annie, no clue what‘a going on with her. We know a lot about teenager and grown up Tess, but nothing about Annie. She was overlooked.
- Unpopular opinion but I didn’t like Rebecca once she got older. Something about her rubbed me the wrong way, particularly that scene where she asked Kevin to build her that house. It reeks of entitlement. I don’t care what kind of dynamic you have with your children, asking them to build a house is over the top.
- Loved Nicky’s dry’s humor. He was a good addition! I’m glad he found love eventually.
- Loved William. He seemed like a kind soul.
My opinions may be unpopular but hey ho.
The one thing I gotta say though is this show is a did a good job in terms of diversity (across the entire series).
Yes, 100% agree.Those are not unpopular opinions with me! I agree with them all, except I never really got to like Kate. There are SO many times when her reaction is completely ridiculous and she blames other people for all her own shit. And the dad worship for Jack is OTT!
I’m rewatching and finding the words “Bud, Babe and Bug” totally infuriating
I still love Toby and Beth and Miguel, the other big three are SOOO much better than the triplets. And William is the best.
I get that Jack was “perfect” in their eyes, and that when someone dies you put them on a pedestal anyway, but it got so annoyingYes, 100% agree.
Kate really worshipped her dad and expected Toby to parent in the same manner which is completely unfair and placed a lot of stress on him. She scrutinized his parenting and acted like a single mom before they even got divorced. She didn’t seem to value Toby’s say in their parenting at all. He honestly didn’t stand a chance. Yet, she married Philip who seems to be the least emotionally in-tune character.
I totally forgot about ‘bug’.
I couldn’t deal with the word ‘bug’ by the end of the series. That word was used literally every other sentence. I now have a new-found dislike for this overused word. Overkill. Babe is weird as well. Yuck.
To be honest, Kevin may have had drinking and commitment issues, but he was the most realistic one. Kate and Randall were far too sheltered by Rebecca and Jack to see things for what they were. They had rose-tinted glasses on their entire childhood.I get that Jack was “perfect” in their eyes, and that when someone dies you put them on a pedestal anyway, but it got so annoyingLike when Kevin went to rehab and tried to suggest that their childhood wasn’t perfect and they all flipped out.
Families use nicknames but honestly, by the time people are in their 40s surely you’d give it up?!?
Yeah I like Kevin the best out of the big 3!To be honest, Kevin may have had drinking and commitment issues, but he was the most realistic one. Kate and Randall were far too sheltered by Rebecca and Jack to see things for what they were. They had rose-tinted glasses on their entire childhood.
100% agree on the casting and the jumps between the timelines. I never felt confused! Also love how they’d show a random person or family at the start of an episode and it would somehow link and tie in with the main characters. So clever.I think the casting was great in this show and also the storytelling/editing. How they moved between timelines with loads of mini plot reveals was seamless. I often watch a film with some sort of time hop involved and kind of forget what's going on but this was really well done.
Having said that, I had zero sympathy for Kate and didn't believe her relationship with Phillip at all. Beth, William, Nicky, Miguel and to an extent Toby stopped it being dull.
