Kevin Pearson | Paralyzed (This is us) 

I love how Kevin as a character is portraying high functioning depression accurately and showing how people don’t notice this type of depression.

“I’m not really good at anything...I was just the one person in the room who was trying the hardest.” God I never had a quote relate so much for me.

Some people have complained about how the writers just keep throwing short-term relationships at Kevin, but that is the whole point. At first glance, he is your typical golden boy, rich, handsome and loved by women, so it is that much harder for anyone to see that he is suffering. He can't hold a relationship long enough because he doesn't know what he's looking for and he doesn't know what will make him happy. Every time he falls for a woman he probably hopes to feel at peace but somehow his soul remains restless. So when he unravels his deeply hidden grief for his dad's death, his feeling the odd one out his whole childhood (mom belongs to Randall, Kate belonged to dad), we come to realise that this highly functioning man is severely depressed. But once he helped himself, he was able to help everyone else. This is the part I love about Kevin the most. He wants to be the savior but in a less controlling way than Randall. Kevin has the highest levels of empathy on the show, I think. We take his golden boy image as a given, when in fact he appears to be the most complex, analytic character.

I read somewhere that someone didn't like Kevin and I was shocked. As soon as I started watching the show I fell in love with him. How could anyone dislike him?! This is amazing!

Ive loved kevins character since the beginning he is just so alone nobody realizes just how damaged he really is he always had to keep it together since he was the "golden boy" but he is so much more complex and so much deeper than that it just hurts my heart

His episode "Number one", gosh that was his best work. I couldn't stop myself from crying.

Out of all the characters I relate to Kevin the most. His childhood and how he felt like the odd one out in his own family... No one in his life thinks he’s really struggling and that he has it the easiest. He has severe depression yet he gets up and tries, no one notices until he breaks.

For Kevin, the death of his father Jack is not a "simple" mourning: the fact is that this death causes him a sense of inner emotional loneliness, because the other people around him are not enough for him; His father was the only one with whom he had a mental understanding, and he was the only figure who truly motivated him. Losing Jack means for Kevin losing those reasons and stimuli to feel really good...Jack was the only one who "realized" him...he has always been Randall's shadow (due to the fact that he is black , and Kate, due to her weight problems). Luckily, Kevin then finds this figure in Sophie

Absolutely love Kevin on the show because I relate to him so much in a lot of ways and this video is so well done I now can’t stop listening to this song.

I absolutely love Kevin's character development. In the beginning he really didnt seem to have many issues compared to the other two, he was just a rich guy that left his show. But the way his story has developed and we continue to see more layers of him, I think he has the most complex personal issues. He seems like a jerk for a long time, but there is a reason for the way he acts. So much to unpack with him

His episode "Number one", gosh that was his best work. I couldn't stop myself from crying.

finally a video that describes Kevin's struggles perfectly

Kevin is the best character if this is us its not even close

This video is amazing..I really love Kevin's character.. Hopefully he gets better soon..

I love this. Thanks so much for letting me know. I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise. For some reason I can't watch it on mobile, but I watched it on my computer and the video is absolutely amazing and heartbreaking. I love all the "text" parts you picked and the song fits perfectly too. Kevin suffers so much and this video really captures what he has to go through. Poor Kev! I hope better days are coming for him.

I’M CRYING!!!!!!!! WOW!!!! THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!

I love how Kevin acts, my favourite person on This Is US!

This video is so accurate with protesting the time line and all the times people didn't notice Kevin was in pain, although at times it sounded like there was two song tracks playing at the same time... other than that great vid!!!

It’s so wrong to assume that the person who doesn’t talk and have a way of doing things by him self that he doesn’t need help or there’s no pain in his life , while the ones who complain and talk about their pain and problems get all the attention and help and yet they don’t suffer like the ones with the shining picture and a broken heart 💔 I relate to kevin in somehow

"Don't love me" Gosh,

I read somewhere that someone didn't like Kevin and I was shocked. As soon as I started watching the show I fell in love with him. How could anyone dislike him?! This is amazing!

I love Kevin from japan

I’m in pain here, omg tears!! Beautiful video!

THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD. GREAT JOB! I'M CRYING. I LOVE KEVIN SO MUCH.

This show is soo good, it made me cry so many times and I’m on s1 ep 7

3:23 THIS SCENE IS FROM WHICH EPISODE, SEASON?

I love this video!! And some of the scenes in here I don’t remember seeing, like the one where Randell asked Kevin if he was okay.

I love Kevin it may be the same way I feel like he does but also the fact that he related so well to me 💔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So I’ve literally watched this video like a hundred times, I’ve failed my nursing boards twice and my entire family basically thinks I’m a complete failure so I literally feel this video right now!! Whoever made this video thank you for being my outlet, I have one more chance at this test but I wonder will Kevin stand up...I’m paralyzed

People can say what they want, but Kevin Pearson >>>>>>>>>> Randall Pearson on sooo many levels. I cant stand Randall, and it's not for his color skin (as some silly people think), cause I juge a character by his story, his behaviour, his heart, and Kevin is so good!. Kevin, Jack and Rebecca are the best charcters of the whole show. And also Sophie of course

what scene it when he yells everything's fake

Who is the girl that Kevin is hugging towards the ends and he’s crying?

Ai! Essa música e esse vídeo me quebraram
