How to watch This Is Us season 2 episode 4 ‘Still There’ for free

This Is Us season 2 episode 4 airs Tuesday Oct. 14 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. But here’s how you can watch it for free.

A TV habit can get expensive. There’s just so much out there on which to spend your money: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon. But what about cable? What about premium options? HBO? Showtime? Starz? Even if you successfully cut the cord, you can easily rack up quite the bill just trying to watch your favorite shows. So the question then becomes, how can you watch TV for free? Specifically, how can you watch This Is Us for free?

Lucky for you, there are a couple avenues at your disposal.

The first is to leverage the access you already had! Were you aware of all the different ways you can watch This Is Us online? If not you, then maybe you can leverage that of your friends. Subscription sharing is the name of the game in this unforgiving future of a thousand streaming services, but no service that offers everything. So perhaps it’s time to call in that favor from the friend who uses your Netflix log-in but also has a cable subscription of their own. And voila, you’ve wrangled your way into watching This Is Us for free on NBC Live. (Or Hulu, or Amazon.)

Speaking of Hulu and Amazon, we’d be remiss not to mention that those services do offer free trials for up to a month if you haven’t already cashed ’em in during a previous week or for another reason. Playstation Vue and FuboTV, both of which are essentially cable substitutes, are another option for free trials.

Finally, there will be, of course, live streams and uploads of This Is Us season 2 episode 4 that are…less than legal. You’ll have to pursue those on your own.
