8 TV Moments That Didn't Live Up To The Hype
5. The Nature Of Jack's Death Was Revealed - This Is Us
This Is Us is one of those television shows that managed to make the audience care enormously for the characters. That's partly due to how well the actors constructed them, but also thanks to the brilliant writers that created them in the first place.
One of the most beloved characters was Jack, the father who died at some point in the past. This is made clear relatively early in the series, but what isn't shown is how he died, and there was a ton of speculation leading up to the reveal.
This was one of those moments the network hyped, but the viewers hyped even more, as Jack's fate was discussed online up to and after the event. When his death was finally revealed, a lot of viewers were left feeling somewhat disappointed.
Jack died in a fire, but he didn't burn to death. He went to the hospital and was fine, but after a short while, he succumbed to smoke inhalation and died off-camera. It was shocking, to say the least, and for most fans of the show, it wasn't worth the months and months of anticipation leading up to it.
