Amazing list, thank you for taking the time to do this!

[@B_Rose007]

I just started this show. Thank you!

[@Sam-wl3fk]

i just started am at s1 ep.4 and this list made my life much easier thank you kind sir

[@Allora970]

Amazing Bro thank you so much

[@RuizCaz]

I’m just watching Season one. Thanks!!! 😊

[@paulina6436]

The guy who was in 1986 in front of the entrance to powerplant with scar on his face was Helge (he was cleaning the floor in front of the gate, he gave Claudia a book). In present he's that old dude who is saying ''tick tock'', ''it's going to happen again'', he is in nursing home or sth like that.

[@Nikioko]

Helge Doppler, Peter Doppler's father.

[@Tirpse87]

What I love is that the show doesn’t give you everything at once but gives you what you need to know at that point in time. Also the score is truly just incredible. The score for s1 came out the other week. So once you’re done with season 1 you can go listen if you enjoy listening to scores.

[@TrophyReacts]

Tirpse87 it’s so incredibly well written!

[@paulina6436]

The girl with fluffy hair who was in the car with her mother is the hotel lady in present - Regina Tiedemann. Her mother - the powerplant lady in 1986, Claudia Tiedemann. Also the policeman in 1986 is Egon Tiedemann - Regina's grandfather.

[@mcoupe69]

Wrong .. Claudia is actually a hydrocephalic alien baby wearing the skin of Nancy Reagan in order to make big BMs on the kitchen floor of Bobby Kennedy and Obama

[@theborgv]

It gets better and better. And things will make sense. -Claudia Tiedeman is the head of the Nuclear Facility in 86 and also the daughter of the old cop Tiedeman, and the mother of the hotel Owner in Regina Tiedeman -the old guy head of the Nuclear Facility she replaced is the father of the janitor (seen in the photo)

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

And yes Hannah is the young girl in the 80's, and having an affair with Ulrich in the present and is Jona's mother

[@mcoupe69]

WRONG! Jonas mother is an alternate future version of Anna Nicole Smith who was still dismembered but survived by having her useless limbs sowed back on .. she lives as a quadriplegic and gave birth to a hydrocephalic alien child that turns out to actually be her FATHER!

[@isaacbruner65]

Hannah is a fucking psycho, why is she so obsessed with Ulrich?

[@GG-kp2sv]

The cave scene is them in the same place/cave just in different timelines Mikel in 86 Urch in the present.

[@zanderflank9252]

Most of the character in this show are essential. They aren't on the sidelines like the parents in stranger things. You should write down names of all the characters cuz most of them will be seen through different time lines. Even by taking a gap of a few days you'll start to forget the names and relations of characters.

[@procrastinosaurus-rex5720]

Do definititely write things down, for the family connections - just for the love of everything do not Google anything.

[@TrophyReacts]

I've been writing names down for now but haven't googled anything

[@belinda35_77]

@@TrophyReacts You really don't need to do that. Just relax, you're only 3 eps in, you can trust you'll always get clarification. I don't know why so many insist on "writing stuff down" It really takes you out of the tone/atmosphere they set so brilliantly in this series. And when you're busy trying to write stuff down/remember, it causes you to miss other small but important details. Just have faith in these writers, sit back and enjoy. You don't need to know everything and everyone by ep 3. :)

[@mimikannisto4418]

I've seen people googling family chart's in reactions. It's so annoying.

[@belinda35_77]

@@mimikannisto4418 It is!! I want to scream "STOP GOOGLING AND WRITING SHIT DOWN" When I first watched this series, when it first premiered, I went in not knowing anything, sat back and just drank everything in free of distraction, and watched it unfold the way they intended. Especially reading subtitles, you can't be busy writing stuff down. Honestly, I always recommend the dubbing for the first time through.. 1. Because they did a fantastic job with the dubbing and 2. Because reading the subtitles in a complicated show like this really takes you out of the atmosphere and tone they have brilliantly created. Imo

[@samanthacor7589]

@@belinda35_77I agreewith yoy except for the dubbing. Everyone should watch the series with the original sound, you lose so much of the acting if you watch the dubbed version. It's not that hard to read and watch the series lol, unless you're not used to it like americans i guess idk.

[@mowglisavonturen]

I really liked the music in this episode. 'Familiar' by Agnes Obel is amazing. Thank you for your reaction, glad to see you're enjoying it so much!

[@FurkanSavas]

Even when I rewatch this I am still confused😂

[@becca1665]

same

[@pandycious]

Huh? Its not that hard to understand once I watched the whole season. lol

[@avatarthelastairbenderlove4092]

I'm currently re-watching for my first time so it's been more than 2 yrs lol so for me I've forgotten the small details, but at the same time I am watching with friends so hopefully it helps make more sense

[@Nikioko]

15:10: Egon Tiedemann is Hauptkommissar in 1986, which is equivalent to Chief Inspector in the UK or Captain in the US. 15:32: Charlotte is Peter Doppler's wife, daughter-in-law to Helge and mother of Franziska and Elisabeth. She is the head of the local police department and Ulrich's boss.

[@isbaeli]

I don't know if it's a language barrier, but I didn't need to write any names or character connections down. I think it's part of the show, to not know everything, it will make sense later!

[@belinda35_77]

Exactly! I really don't understand all the "WRITE DOWN NAMES..MAKE FAMILY TREE" stuff. Totally takes you out of the show. It isn't needed. The writing and story construction is deliberate and if you just follow along, let it unfold naturally, it is so much better!

[@isbaeli]

Belinda R this!!

[@MyDarkSins]

Great reaction! You always know how to get all the great scenes into your videos. Cant wait for more of dark!!!!!

[@TrophyReacts]

Edward Moreno thank you! That’s thanks to my editor!

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

I think it's fine is you want to make a family tree as u go or some kind guide. But make your own don't look one up cause you might get spoilers as u search for it

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

And if you start to make your chart might want to right down things that will help u remember their relations like Charlotte girl who was picking up the birds in the past , is the cop from the present or woman In charge of the power plant (Claudia) is mother to the girl with the fluffy hair (Regina) who owns the hotel in the present

[@cindycrewsbeach72]

All you need to do is pay attention. I really doubt everyone below made a family tree the first time they watched this. I may have missed some things along the way, but in the end I figured it out just fine. Sure, in hindsight I would have guessed what’s coming sooner, but is that really enjoyable? The whole point of a show like this is to be surprised and caught off guard. Just go with it. It’s not a test.

[@michaelklaus]

I think there are two names one might have picked up in this episode despite the ones you named. One being Helge: He is greeting Claudia at the gates of the power plant and gives her the present. You can notice his scarred ear that was already visible on his older self. The other being Tronte: He was the journalist who apparently was very friendly with Claudia but is shown in the end to be the man who cleaned his sweater in episode 2. After the "intermission" of Claudia opening Helge's present he is shown again going to bed beside his wife. They are Ulrich's parents. Oddly enough the wife is barely ever spoken to by name throughout the season. I think maybe just once?

[@mimikannisto4418]

This is the first time I realized them showing who I believe his name is Helga's family is. When Claudia was coming in to take over the power plant you see the guy who's retiring from the power plant cleaning off his desk and you see a picture of middle aged Helga. I believe that's his name. Please correct me if I'm wrong. And what is the guy's name leaving the plant that hands it over to Claudia?

[@lukenarlee8118]

Loving these video's so far! And I'm also watching the show for the first time now, and I'm in the same place . . . just finished episode 4. Loving it! Btw, your comments here had me laughing throughout. "Yeah, let's bully the four year old" lol!

[@lissaveta7720]

Also Katharina Nielsen is Ulrich's girlfriend in 1986, and his wife and Mikkel's mother in present. She is a principal in school in Winden as well.

[@froufroudeluxe]

I think the Winden caves have the thinnest veil between timelines

[@gabrielgarza4435]

Name of song?

[@belinda35_77]

Try not to spend too much time trying to figure it all out during the eps. This show will always give you lil heads up by the end of a ep. If you just follow along by eps 5 and 6 you will start being comfortable with names and characters. Trying to write stuff down during the eps only takes you out of what's happening. Just sit back, folllow along and trust that they know exactly how confusing it all is at this point and that is deliberate, you can trust that the story construction of this series, It's very carefully crafted and any confusion or questions will be clarified at the proper time. They will always clarify things, like at the end of this with the side by side ect. Just go with it ;)

[@zanderflank9252]

It's mikkel btw not mika 😂

[@TrophyReacts]

zander flank aha😂sorry my mistake

[@tammybui9278]

By the 3rd episode, it starts to make sense. I encourage people to power through the first 2 confusing episodes to get to the best parts later on

[@renameagain5808]

Mikkel could have warned everybody of the disasters that happen in the future lmao

[@adlerzwei]

There is no past an present in this show. You'll get used to it eventually.

[@jaydenfoxx2409]

By the way you know you can watch the serie in any language you want

[@lkeaboy]

Oh, you absolutely can do a family tree. Just don't look for those prepared by others.

[@afterglowlovato]

there’s family trees online

[@Nikioko]

5:02 You cut out the part when they were talking about Jeanny and Hannah says that she prefers Nino de Angelo over Falco. Well, decide yourself which one is better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6PaXpyrqa2qa6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4TSc42GlNuIerc

[@Nikioko]

7:08: To explain the tension a bit: Egon Tiedemann is Claudia Tiedemann's father. And as we have seen in the scene before, she seems to have an affair with Tronte Nielsen, Ulrich's and Mads' father.

[@fallzero7304]

I sometimes wonder wheather the 33 is just a nugde to a loop being split up into two and one side being flipped giving us the number 33 Just a thought

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Can you do a reaction on the Nostalgia Critic's "Top 11 Worst Avatar Episodes" and its sequel, the "Top 11 Best Avatar Episodes"? Would be awesome.

[@911-n2j]

Watch euphoria please, its on HBO

[@TrophyReacts]

No Name I really want to! Maybe soon

[@frankhenneick9983]

TheTrophyMunchers I think you are British, am I right? Then Euphoria starts in about two weeks on Sky Atlantic!

[@mexic8l]

Something that sucked more than ass about this episode is at "37:18".

[@mcoupe69]

Spoiler: The guy with black hair makes bms that create Obama monsters
