This Is Us creator talks about the gruesome and challenging "Vietnam" episode

Last night's "Vietnam" episode was actually shot at a lake north of Los Angeles, but future episodes will feature the actual Vietnam. “I find it an interesting way to tell the story of these two brothers and how it relates to war, and start at the end point,” says Dan Fogelman. “I’m proud of its ambition. It feels by the time you get to the end of the episode you feel like you’ve gone on a long journey with a character that you thought you knew really well walking into it.”
