Some fans believe Randall always thinks he's right

One fan, u/HectorDBotyInspect0r, took to Reddit to post a meme in which Randall is proclaiming that he has "done nothing wrong ever" and Rebecca responds by agreeing with the statement. The poster wrote, "This Is Us Season 4 made me hate Randall." For those that need a refresher, Season 4 sees Randall dealing with his adopted daughter Deja (Lyric Ross) dating a teen father as he settles into his new job as councilman, and he and Kevin argue over how to handle Rebecca's worsening condition.

In the first response, u/MabintyQ agreed wholeheartedly, writing, "This meme is an accurate portrayal of how Rebecca enables Randall's worst habits." Many viewers point mainly to the fact that Randall pushed for Rebecca to enter a clinical trial for Alzheimer's despite both Kevin and Rebecca herself not thinking it was the best idea. Randall finally got Rebecca to agree by telling her that he has always been a good son, always taken care of her and even alluded to the fact that Rebecca kept Randall's biological father away from him when she knew who he was the whole time. One fan, u/gabbewithfate wrote, "I got so pissed at him for that. that was a low level, blackmailing his own mother." Adding on to this, u/StrictRight-Hander suggested, "I agree that it was low... but I wouldn't call it blackmail so much as emotional manipulation?"

Meanwhile, another fan, u/anotha1bitesthecrust, lamented, "Randall was unbearable in S4!"

I don't like him either. He's sanctimonious. No one like that.

I started to really dislike him once he became involved with politics. I didn't care for his self righteous attitude or his cockiness. I also didn't like how he didn't even bother to discuss Deja with Beth before he made the decision to turn his whole family upside down.
I'm glad I stopped watching This Is Us after Kate went into labor. I don't have any idea of anything that happened after that point.
