Ok so I was confused to at first but basically it’s a German show based on a German book BUT the book takes place in England so that’s why she’s writing in English (sorry if this doesn’t make sense). Also, I LOVE the fact that there’s no dubs bcuz like imo the emotions and words are better expressed in the og language even if I don’t understand it

[@AW_13_swifties]

It is dubbed? I had it dubbed

[@inioluwaadegoke7039]

the fact james drew her from memory aswell

[@marie-soleildobie984]

A couple of things: James & Lydia are twins ❤ It’s the mother’s company, the father just married in money and power. They film a lot in germany , it’s really beautiful there ❤❤❤

[@jeslycruz]

ITS THE MOM’S COMPANY?!! this man better sit his ass down somewhere omg🤦🏽‍♀️

[@marie-soleildobie984]

@@jeslycruz yes! They mention it only once or twice. He acts like it’s his. SIR SIT DOWN & SHUT IT 🤬😡

@@marie-soleildobie984 i did not know that the dad is literally villain in this show

[@marie-soleildobie984]

@@marianalover69 yes, the actor plays him very well 😤🤯

[@echofromafar]

since you asked: the original language isn't dutch. it should say "deutsch", which is just the german word for german. i get how that'd be confusing though, it happens a lot :D edit: and yeah, those were in fact pounds. in germany we use euros (€). only the spoken language and text messages in maxton hall are german. the rest is english and also taking place in england. i know it's a bit weird, but you'll get used to it lmao also i am _so_ glad you're watching the show in german with subtitles! i mean i have the advantage of being a native german speaker, but i can assure you that the english dub doesn't even come close to the original, especially when it comes to conveying emotions through the characters' voices. i simply (and sadly) cringe way too hard at the english version to watch reactions to it xD plus, i generally always prefer to watch movies and shows in their original languages, even though german dubs tend to be pretty good

[@jeslycruz]

thank you for answering my questions! i was so confused haha

[@echofromafar]

​@@jeslycruz you're welcome! i'm looking forward to your reactions to the other four episodes, hope you'll enjoy them :) btw one more thing: james and lydia are actually twins, meaning james isn't the oldest of the two or anything. i'd say the only real difference is that he's a man, which is why his dad prefers him over lydia and lets him get away with more stuff. you know, misogyny (yay)

[@laura_v191]

as a German native I 💯% agree :)

[@its_jworld]

OMG IM SO HAPPY UR WATCHING THISSSSS

[@shesmissdior]

FRRR SAME AHHHH

[@ali_v]

yes same omg!

[@Schirm08]

I get why people, especially those not from Europe, are confused about the setting. German authors often set their stories in other countries. I guess Mona Kasten chose to set her story in England because, unlike Germany, it's a monarchy with an elite and renowned universities like Oxford, which fits the story better. In England, wealthy families with celebrity status are just normal, while the super-rich in Germany tend to live more private lives and stay under the radar. However, the series' authors didn't stick consistently to the English setting. Ruby write in her notebook in English, and James writes a card to Ruby in English, but their text messages are in German. Plus, the series was filmed both in Germany and England. The whole story is supposed to take place around London, somewhere between London and Oxford.

[@Katie-hz6qu]

As a German I'm so HAPPY you and people from other countries are reacting to it. ❤

[@desie224]

I was so against this show at first but decided to give it a try and actually found it pretty decent.❤

[@jeslycruz]

i didn’t know what i was getting myself into but i LOVE it

[@tiny_gin8281]

When it comes to the golf thing James really thought his dad just wanted to spend time with him that’s why he was so happy but in the end it really was just about the company and about how he could make his father more profit

[@mesganaberhane4203]

So glad you are watching this! A good way to think about the show is the story is set in England, but the show is produced by Germans. It is similar to when Hollywood will make a film set in France or a British production company will make a movie set in France, but all the actors speak in English and have an American or British accent. It's just like that. Like the show Reign is set in 16th century France, but they're all British, English speaking actors. Hope that helps!

[@shellyappiah]

So glad you are reacting to this. Girl I know you only just started a new show but Prime video don’t wanna calm down with the releases so if you haven’t seen already My lady Jane is another good new show

[@hydragaming4265]

Yes sir.

[@marie-soleildobie984]

The car is a Rolls Royce (there are 2 R in front) « James better not fuck this up » 😂😂

[@romeliapc4175]

I greatly appreciate the use of K-pop memes on this video. I can't wait to see you watch the whole series. They also confirmed a Season 2, so if you like this, you'll have something to look forward to ❤😉

[@aidalo2035]

stalking ur playlist after finishing your heartbreak high reactions, why does this only have 17 views???

[@jeslycruz]

cause it’s early access! it comes out on Friday :)

[@gilliantwible4703]

YESSSSSSS THIS SHOW WAS SO GOOD

[@pidanka24]

Yaay, I’m loving your reactions! I think James was so ‘obsessed’ with her because his dad has taught him (as you pointed out) his all life that everyone will try to use his family’s wealth and not to trust anyone? So he can’t comprehend Ruby really doesn’t want anything when she has such a useful information on hands.. It’s ironic since dad only got into Beaufort family by marriage. 😬

[@EmmyMehring]

the vampire diaries is a great suspenseful show and i think you would really enjoy watching it

[@arwenjanssens6806]

You should Definitely also watch, my lady Jane, it's so good! It's also a period drama, like bridgerton and i love bridgerton and i loved this to, i heard from a lot of people that if you love Bridgerton that you also love my lady jane and they wer're right

[@EquinoXshowcases]

i really like this series, its so good and can't wait to see the next season!!

[@random.person498-bz6gp]

YESSS IM SO FREAKIN HAPPY YOURE WATCHING THIS ‼️😆

[@kat_impossible]

I'm so so so glad you're watching it in German with the English subs cause I can't stand the dubbing 😭

[@jeslycruz]

i hate dub bro

[@Bxtterflxx]

I’m actually German and we speak german (deutsch) . Dutch is the language from the Netherlands. The actors are german too so the series was filmed in german. But because the books are English the producers expected it to be more popular in GB I guess. Also the whole movie plays in England. That would be my idea why the notes are in English.

[@mariarivadeneira3360]

I love how you mentioned to leave his pride aside because this whole series reminded me of pride and prejudice ifykyk. Ruby has a prejudice against rich people and James has a lot of pride. 🫣

[@larissalester5819]

I am so excited to see you reacting to this show! When I first started the series, I thought it was a cute show. But, it actually turned out to be excellent! It's one of those rare shows that get better every episode. Also, James is actually much more caring and "deeper" than he appears at first. You'll see the switch. Looking foward to watching you react to the rest of the series!

[@flora0713]

I love your vibe so so much, literally binged watch ur video since yesterday!! just finished watching ur Ginny and Georgia reaction and hopped straight here I’m obsessed!! and I love Maxton hall it was SOO GOOD James is honestly so hot and in the later episodes 😭😭 can’t wait to see ur reaction to the rest of the episodessss.

I first heard about this from Deux moi podcast. She mentioned this show, so I looked it up and decided to watch. I have to say I really liked it! I binged it so fast. Can’t wait for season two.

Aghghh I LOVE ur reaction! Its so real 😭 I switched up on James QUICK after like two eps (i'm weak af)

[@oliviavalentina7017]

the show is written by a german author in german. However she set the story to be in England. So they speak English, use British pounds etc It’s like an American author writing a story (obv in English) about people who live in France and speak French ? Hope this clears it up

1:15 lool same xD so happy you're watching this!

[@Lea-gc1gb]

so to clarify the confusion: the show is set in england (that’s why they have english names,british pounds,etc.) however the show is based on a trilogy written by a german author and therefore the actors are german and the whole production is german and the school for example is a castle in germany😌oh and the currency in germany is euros

[@ItsCharlie-Maincharacter]

I am sooo used to see like American or even English shows that I was really confused when the narrator spoke German 😂😂 and don’t get me wrong that’s the language i grew up with that’s why it is so weird and I never watched the show so I just thought IF JESLY is watching then I need to watch it with her 💖💖💖

[@AW_13_swifties]

I am beyond confused because someone's going it's not dubbed and then she started watching it and it really wasn't and all you had was the subtitles and they're speaking and whatever language they're speaking except I had it dubbed

[@mariadevito1011]

Love your reaction. And about the adds...here in Germany we have to pay 2,99 Euro /month for watching without commercial break.

[@SchreibenMitOnisha]

Amazon shows you the languages in their original languages. And German in German means Deutsch. This looks very similar to Dutch, so I guess that's why you were confused. Dutch is just an English word that people use for people or things from the Netherlands, but the origin of the word Dutch is from Germany, because Germans call themselves Deutsche, Germany means Deutschland in German. It's a bit confusing. But if you click on Deutsch, you will get the original language German. And it is British pounds. The story is set in England. It is based on a German book series, which takes place in England, because the book market in Germany prefers stories that are not set in Germany for some reason🤷🏽‍♀️ I hope that cleared some things up🤗

[@natashaj849]

It's so funny how annoyed with James every reactor is at the start. I completely get it I agree he is insufferable but he just can't comprehend why a poor scholarship student whose backpack is literally ripping apart won't accept thousands of dollars worth of money. I see it as he and his family are used to people doing whatever they can to gain/take advantage of their wealth and fame so it's hard for James to believe Ruby truly wants nothing to do with him. Seeing her suddenly talking to his best friend when he's never noticed her unsettled him.

[@LightGrace]

I totally agree and I also think that a lot of people miss that at no point does Ruby actually tell him that she’s not going to say anything! Which I dislike more and more each time I rewatch. If she just said: “ I don’t want your money: I’m not gonna say anything; it’s none of my business and I want nothing to do with any of it. Stay the hell away from me.” The show could still continue on the same course because, let’s face it, James would probably not be able believe her anyway, because of the way he’s been raised and his past experiences, and it would make her far more sympathetic. Yes, James is an arrogant, entitled ass in the beginning but I can totally see why this and some of Harriet’s acting choices, (to play their interactions very smirky and coy) would lead him to believe that this was a game they were both playing.

[@mackenzie98]

Enemies to lovers, my fave trope. Prime comes with ads now. So dumb.

[@niffler3671]

There was a little confusion because of the language you are listening to. Don't know if somebody answered so far but here's my answer to you. The original language and the one that you hear in those episodes is German. Our country is called Deutschland 🇩🇪 and we call our language Deutsch. Our neighbour are the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and they call their language Nederlands but in English it's Dutch. As far as I know, a Dutch version of the series doesn't even exist. Unfortunately, Dutch (Nederlands) and German (Deutsch) are two different languages. I was a bit confused about this when I started learning English, just like you're right now 😂 Hope I was able to help 😊

[@jeslycruz]

thanks for the help! i was so confused at first haha

Don’t watch it in English- the dubbing is really bad. The subtitle translations are better. It’s and adaptation of a German book set in England. The Beauforts are billionaires and each of the kids have over 1000 hits in the tabloids at any one time. So they are super paranoid because everyone wants something from them. Sorry for being a smart ass but I wish I knew all this from the beginning. Thanks for the great reaction! You‘re really perceptive! 🎉

why are there ads on amazon? cuz jeff is a greedy bastard that wants more money. we literally already have to pay for amazon prime to watch amazon orginals but we also have to pay extra/individually to watch the other non-amazon original movies and shows that are on there instead of like Netflix where there's both originals and other movies and they both come with the subscription. AND netflix doesn't even have the added money coming in from a store like Amazon does that people are constantly buying from. it doesn't make sense to me.
