I've never watched a show before where every new character introduced felt like a potential queer love interest. A new character would appear onscreen and I think to myself "Are they pairing these two together?" and then another character would show up, and I'd go "No, wait, is it these two who the show wants me to ship?" Usually an ensemble show will have maybe one gay character and when another gay character is introduced I'd think "Well, I guess this is the endgame" because there just wasn't any other romantic options. In this show it feels like the opposite since there are so many potential queer relationships. It's such a nice change of pace!

[@Scr4mbledM3ggs]

Genuinely same.

[@mayaenglish5424]

Neil Gaiman DID work on it a little bit, he just wasn't running the show like he did with Good Omens. He wrote a few scenes/ was there for the writers/ directors to talk to.

[@tonilou]

The first meeting between Crystal and Niko felt so sapphic, i was convinced that they would be a thing. I was so sure

[@alyssab5688]

So glad you're reacting to this show. I binged the whole thing the day it released and it's become my newest obsession. I think you'll love it :)

[@choccy9852]

Originally the show wasn’t owned by Netflix and wasn’t going to be connected to Sandman explicitly. Then Netflix acquired it. Also Neil Gaiman wrote 3 scenes for this show, one of which is the scene with Death this episode (the scene also has a reference to the comic).

[@RatatoskClarke]

I haven't been able to find the information on this, what are the other two scenes he wrote?

[@choccy9852]

@@RatatoskClarke it’s on Neil’s tumblr. One I can’t say cause it’s spoilers but the other one is the final scene of the show.

[@shreyasharma1101]

I literally binged the entire show in one night. You are going to love so many news characters....HAPPY 4 YEARS.

[@Scr4mbledM3ggs]

This show has no business being SO well casted. Everyone fits their roles perfectly.

[@manateia]

I had the same reaction when I saw "sandman" death was here 😅

[@kvoltti]

This series is a trip, The Dead Boy Detectives also showed up in Doom Patrol So happy you're reacting to it.

[@sadfaery]

Yay! Someone who recognizes and appreciates Ruth Connell (Rowena) being in this show. I freaking love her.

[@wrenncorbiere8193]

I came to this show for Ruth(Rowena) and now I’m completely obsessed with this show! Thank you for generating more buzz for this perfect show! 🥰

[@georgeosorio5815]

usually we have to make our own subtext with these shows but this one said nah none of that subtext bs. This will be GAYTEXT all through and through.

[@sunflowervol.6583]

YES! so excited you’re watching this, i absolutely fell in love with this show ❤

[@queerlyvictorian]

YES!!! THERE IS LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE I’VE WANTED TO REACT TO THIS SHOW MORE YOU, BRITTNEY 😊💜💜💜

[@jaimeml4791]

WOOOOOOOO Happy Anniversary!! 🎉🎉🎉 I was going to watch this after I finally finished Doom Patrol (while still running this in the background for netflix numbers) but I can't deny a milestone reaction. Very happy to as it turns out with how well-crafted and delightful this is, and how our current main characters seem to individually have a specially selected combination of character traits each designed to appeal to me specifically. "In this day and age, it is a wonderful change of pace to say that 'It could very well be canon!' We don't know! So many more things are canon these days." What an exhilarating time.

[@adamparrott797]

I love this show.......that is all. Rowena in the show I was all in.

[@Simone-yv3ro]

Btw, literally anything that hints at anything queer, by Neil Gaiman is most def gay 100%.

[@HuntingViolets]

It's good you're watching. Neil Gaiman recently said on Tumblr that Netflix looks at completion rates with renewals. _Sandman_ took several months to renew but was renewed at least partly because of its (approx.) 75% completion rate despite being a show that people were watching and then thinking about for a week before watching the next episode. I think he is involved in some capacity (maybe just that it's based on his work, though? not sure).

[@draco1811]

So what you're saying is that I should turn on my old decrepit laptop and keep Dead Boy Detectives playing on loop. Got it, glad we could have this chat.🏳‍🌈▶⏭🔁👌

[@HuntingViolets]

@@draco1811 That could help. The main thing is to have completion of all episodes. Even then, who knows what other secret metric Netflix uses. :)

[@xiaokuer_schmetterling5805]

I'd somehow missed out on the buzz for this but now you've got me very interested!

[@WaywardGhostYT]

I’m so excited for the rest of the episodes! I’m so happy people are watching it so we could possibly get more seasons

[@AmanCreatesArt]

I had no idea this was connected to The Sandman going in. I had such a reaction to Kirby showing up as Death. So glad you're watching this! Yay!!!

[@ChampionAshley]

damn you Brittany for uploading this while I'm at the pool. jk, I was one of the few (in your own words politely) who asked on your tumblr to react to this show, and it is such a joy to watch you go through the show that hook me from the first chase scene. Let me reiterate to you, that you will go BALLISTIC about this show and its gayness. It's gonna be a treat watching you devour something I speedran in the first two days.

[@marinasenseless474]

This is the first of your videos I've watched and when I saw the channel name I was SO hoping you would recognize Ruth and the reference to Supernatural and you did not disappoint! Subscribed.

[@emmy_the_nbnd]

Your reaction to ruth connel aka rowena aka THE queen. Perfect. Priceless. Correct.

[@katerinacockbain5193]

I love this show so much! Can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of the season

[@ald00I]

yesss this show but also youre the only one ive seen whos commented on that a+ intro sequence

[@alexandradavies6669]

Oh man, the whole time you were speculating on the canonicity of the gayness I was thinking, just wait until you see episode two. And you have! Can't wait to watch your reaction!

[@ladyorapma]

I'm so happy to see you react to this show!!!! I binged it, loved it and I've been obsessed with it the last few days. And since it's netflix and we know how bad they are at renewing shows we really need to get a lot more people watching this show if we want to have any hope of a season two.

[@Staykid92]

Happy 4 year anniversary!!! Your reactions are so fun, comforting and interesting to watch, I always love hearing your take on things. Also, watched your full reaction to this episode earlier and it prompted me to keep watching more and it just gets better! Just finished episode 4 haha

[@lecciciapires2166]

Cannot believe i got here within the first five minutes of uploading lol I am so excited already!

[@lyeniamonteiro6488]

So excited that you're watching this, I guarantee it only gets better.

[@mayaenglish5424]

hahaha literally just came here to yell about this show if you hadn't seen/ heard about it yet and it was right there on the front of your page. 🤣 Yay!

[@gracegormann5492]

I’m on episode 4 and this show is so bloody fantastic. Cannot wait for your reactions. 👏👏👏😊

[@June-e]

[@jmercedesd]

A belated happy anniversary! I'm really looking forward to your observations. :D

[@athirajayakumar1668]

I binged this in a day!! I'm so happy you are reacting to this!!!

[@xiaokuer_schmetterling5805]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉🎉

[@ctuero]

Neil did work on it, he was consulted and he wrote two or three scenes, all involving other sandman characters. the rest is not really his thing and its great

[@ctuero]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay so excited i love the show. please go go go you have to finish it the full circle-ness of the characters and story is so good

[@SM-BSW]

This show is Our Flag Means Death levels of gay! 😊

[@vikib1758]

[@hazell1304]

[@hazell1304]

[@larstyphoon9981]

Never clicked faster! I knew it! Happy 4 year anniversary btw 🏳‍🌈

[@lilahkane2815]

Happy 4 year anniversary ! ♥

[@audyssey_]

YEAHHHHH!!! I love this show and I love your videos! AWESOME!

[@shreyasharma1101]

This was so good...now i wanna watch it

[@bicyclesaremagical]

Just wait till the next episode. It gets gayer and gayer from there. And our sassy fruit Edwin *slight spoiler* has not one but two other very attractive men pining over him. So proud :)

[@xiaokuer_schmetterling5805]

dudes i watched the first episode in the dark by myself and that was a mistake 😅 it was really good tho

[@ren9955]

Never heard of this before! Reminds me of Lockwood and Co

[@ladyorapma]

It has a similar vibe, just gayer, I hope it doesn't end with the same fate.

[@dianasieber7044]

I found out about the dead boy detectives over doom patrol an adult comedy and gay DC series I think it's on HBO max I watched it on a different app

[@MariaCecilia-lk2xl]

I'm Brazilian I love your reactions your reactions are incredible I wish you would bring more reactions from Dorama BL preferably last twilight from GMMtv and an incredible BL you won't regret it

[@catt021]

All I'm gonna say, is watch the first 5 minutes of episode 2, and all your questions about how queer this show is will be made VERY clear 😉. I hope very much hope you post a react vid for THAT episode because I think you'll enjoy it.
