We're not crying, we swear! We're just leaking salty wet stuff from our eyes as we watch the trailer for "Life Itself" on repeat.
Much like writer-director Dan Fogelman's hit NBC series "This Is Us," the romantic drama follows a love story stretching generations. But instead of Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore giving us a never-ending supply of the feels through their imperfectly perfect relationship, we'll be trying to control our emotions while watching Oscar Isaac and Olivia Wilde turn a friendship into a romance that becomes a marriage that becomes, well, we'll see what happens to these two. (If we can see through all of this wet stuff that keeps leaking.)
