[@ReelTimeYT]

FULL WATCHALONGS/EARLY ACCESS REACTIONS UP TO SEASON 1 EPISODE 5 OF BIG LITTLE LIES ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/ReelTimeYT/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=Big+Little+Lies

[@Lalatopaz]

its not a weird relationship its abuse, and also marital rape, Celeste is mentally compromised and fearful after the abuse he inflicts, she cannot truly consent to the sex

[@pinsandneedles3]

Yes! People can respond to violence and threats in different ways. Many are aware of *Fight or Flight* but those are not the only options. There are also *Freeze* and *Fawn* Fawn means the victim of violence or threat of violence will do what they believe to be necessary to remove the danger, such as apologizing to appease the other person, submitting to sex they don't actually want, etc.

[@oki__]

They didn’t disagree girl, y’all are fighting ghosts in these comments

[@Lalatopaz]

@@oki__we commented for educatory purposes, the goal is not to start an argument but to clarify.

[@neonoires]

I also think that Celeste is going along with certain things to cope with her husband abusing her but domestic violence isn't so straightforward like most abusive situations. A lot of people think that it's always this stereotypical idea that it's bad all the time. People stay for a number of reasons and a big part of it is psychological abuse tactics. Celeste thinks that the violence is "okay" as long as sex comes after and I'm sure Perry is fine with that. Also, congrats Rob with England advancing to the EURO 2024 finals. I'm still salty as a French supporter.

[@FloatingInSpace5702]

Yeah the abuse to apology to sex journey is emotional manipulation imo. Also I would just say based on the reaction, most relationships that involve pain as a kink have strong boundaries, rules, and consent attached to it.

[@JordiVanderwaal]

I feel so bad for Jane and Ziggy. And I know Madeline is a little intense, but I love her character. I can't wait until you see all the twists and turns of this first season.

[@ashleyhayyynes]

Them Skarsgards are excellent actors.

[@chiaraserrano6]

they do creepy/crazy so well

[@immaculatenzimande9929]

Wait, them? Who's the other/s?

[@dieterwashere]

@@immaculatenzimande9929lol. It all started with Stellan Skarsgård, which is Alexander’s (Perry) father. The other ones are Bill and Gustaf

[@chiaraserrano6]

@@immaculatenzimande9929 lol they are like 3 or 4 brothers. All sons from a really famous cool actor

[@Asa...S]

Stellan Skarsgård has 7 sons, 6 of them are actors. The Skarsgård-family: Stellan, born in 1951, actor My, Stellan's first wife, born in 1956, doctor (mom to the 6 oldest children) Megan, Stellan's second wife, born in 1976, filmproducer/writer (mom to the 2 youngest children) Alexander, born in 1976, actor Gustaf, born in 1980, actor Sam, born in 1982, doctor Bill, born in 1990, actor Eija, born in 1992, party planner/works with extras for TV-shows (like Young Royals) Valter, born in 1995, actor Ossian, born in 2009, actor Kolbjörn, born in 2012, actor And then there is the next generation, perhaps there will be some future actors among them as well..? Alexander's son born in 2022 Gustaf's daughter November born in 2020 Bill's daughters Oona and Minou born in 2018 and 2023

[@constanzaperezdearce1561]

alexander skarsgard is so scary in this show its insane

[@guilhermemoreira8291]

nicole kidman and alexander skarsgard going from this to playing mother and son in the northman was something… and the weird stuff lingered

[@SubKween]

I don't think it's about whether she likes it. The sex after being assaulted shouldn't even be called sex. It's more manipulation and a show of dominance from him. It's another way for him to control the situation. 9:49

[@wehaveadarkside]

reese is fucking hilarious in this, its one of my favorite roles from her next to elle woods from legally blonde, everyones acting is so great alexander freaks me out so much every time i watch this show that emmy was super well deserved

[@DaringDasher]

I SAID THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!

[@Chantara27]

Poor Jane and Ziggy. I can't for you guys to uncover the crazy twists and turns that happen

[@matheuslopes7981]

i fucking love that you guys are reacting to this... it's absolutely amazing series!

[@sherylsmallwood-valdivia5375]

The kids would be old enough for season 3 to really focus on them since their dynamic is so interesting. A toned down Euphoria if you will lol.

[@allieren]

I had no idea there was going to be a season 3!

[@carolinalins]

Chloe is so funny 😂 i love how the drama and suspense has a break with the comedic timing

[@TK-oq9yf]

I think it is SO toxic to call a kiss of 6 year olds a sexual assault. They don’t understand sex, they don’t understand exploitation for pleasure… This is the shit that makes me scared to have a kid… Everyone needs to stop implementing adult concepts onto children.

[@ish4sami]

i get what ur stating completely but cocsa is a real thing, obviously a kiss i wouldn’t see as a big deal but u can’t deny the validity of cocsa, some kids do unfortunately know the concept of sex due to being sexually abused themselves and sometimes that leads to them sexually abusing other children. obviously that isn’t the case in this scenario but it is a real thing.

[@camillemayers103]

The Son was ACCUSED of choking Amabella. Go slow.

[@babyjki444]

me cackling at all the theories having watched this years ago. i can't wait to see the rest lol.

[@charlierigney6555]

I’ve never clicked faster in my life!!!

[@carolinspellicano]

It's so weird to see men not getting the subtext of celeste and perry's relationship, any women that sees the scenes that we just saw understands the abuse and rape she's beeen sujected, and also understands the nuance of an abusive relation

[@Ericalizar]

As a teacher I am actually appalled about the family tree assignment LOL. I would never assign something so personal without knowing my students first. A better alternative is to have students draw their own family (ie. who I live with)

[@Knightowl1980]

Avenue Q is hilarious it’s Sesame Street for adults but all the puppets have sex, do drugs, and deal with adult stuff. It’s great -what is Bryce wearing? Love the hat -rob could put me in a head lock with them arms and i wouldn’t mind 😂

[@chosen6612]

lmao Bryce is wearing a Caroline t-shirt, she's a character in The Vampire Diaries; they each got a t-shirt with a character on it and it's fun!

[@SubKween]

Definitely keep in mind it's the same director as Sharp Objects. Not everything was as it seems in that show. Same thing applies to this. 4:29

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I just love the testimonies with the cutaways. Also, the show got Mommy Dynamics just right.

[@kalexsadler3692]

To be fair, Avenue Q for elementary school kids is not appropriate, unless there’s a pared down/censored version i don’t know about. It’s like Sesame Street but with explicit language and songs and subject matter. Very funny. Songs include : The internet is for p*rn , Everyone’s a little bit racist, it sucks to be me, You can be as Loud as the Hell You want (when you’re makin’ love). Definitely not PC early aughts stuff. 19:49

[@terezajankovska7716]

As far as i know, it isn't supposed to be for the kids lol. Just in a local theater.

[@nejj.xx.250]

bryce looks so good in this outfit

[@SubKween]

I'm on the fence about this one. I get why Madeline is upset about Abigail going to her step mom instead of her. But I don't think Madeline's anger here is about her daughter. It's her resentment that it was Bonnie she went to. 17:02

[@kygems6167]

Seeing the beaches my university is literally a 10 minute walk away from in this show is crazy

[@LorraineVirginie]

When a teenage girl doesn’t trust her mom, the worst thing the responsible adult she DOES trust can do is spill her secrets to her mom. Then she simply has no adults she can trust anymore.

[@kayleemariee239]

so excited for this series!

[@darrahtilton]

My friend told me Nicole Kidmans character reminded her of me and honestly I’ll take that

[@PiranhaSatan]

19:41 "what the hell is so inappropriate about this play?" Containing adult themes including a musical number called "The Internet Is for Porn", I can't imagine that posh WASPs would be too excited about it as a community theatre production

[@mermaidreviews4693]

I can’t wait for season 2 I love this show ❤

[@thomasbaker2067]

David E. Kelley is amazing at giving us some awesome storyline in his shows like, Nine Perfect Strangers, Mr. Mercedes, Big Sky and Ally McBeal.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Serious MOTHERing

[@sims200]

Can't wait for the next episode!

[@sierravreacts]

you guys give off such green flag vibes

[@MearnieToon]

Great series ! Hope u guys enjoy it too

[@TK-oq9yf]

Such a good song!!!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Bryce! Thanks, Rob! 🫤

[@rayssalima4848]

I love this show so muchhh

[@allieren]

Damn, I forgot how good this show was. And I love Laura Dern but somehow I hate every character I’ve seen her play. She’s so good at portraying that WASPy bitchiness.

[@MaaxMarc]

Ziggy choked Anabella? did he really? are you sure?

[@thegirlwholovesmusic]

I think you have a weird read on Madeline. Maybe you’re not used to narcissistic parents and abuse but she’s a classic case. Most narcissists are charming and seem caring, but it’s never for anyone else but themselves. Also, as soon as girls get their period they can get birth control and don’t need parental consent, for many reasons. It’s really important that girls are able to make those decisions for themselves, not everyone has reasonable parents, and some are abused by their family. Plus, most girls need birth control to regulate their cycles and hormones. The daughter was being really mature to get on it before she ever even thinks about sex, to develop that habit. And clearly, with a narcissist parent who doesn’t listen to you, you’re developing a relationship with a replacement mother figure that is more interested in you as a person, listens to you, and gives real advice.

[@giuliacheney]

Sorry guys, no TVD?! 🥺

[@bura19]

They've temporarily stopped TVD reactions while Zuff is getting his treatment. They will return to it once he's on the mend and returns. Same with Peaky Blinders. That's why these two are reacting to several different shows.

[@giuliacheney]

@@bura19 thank you, I’ve seen the message in the Community just a few days ago 😁

[@siamese..]

A lot of these series you guys have been acting to are a little too real, maybe more escapism and positive stuff next, early 00s chick flicks...

[@MrDiamondsDiamonds]

Glad you guys finally watching this show. I cant wait until you find out who Ziggy dad.

[@timothydeweese6931]

I've never seen such a disappointing turn from one season to another. Season one is spectacular. Season two was so bad.

[@itss_nattyj]

I don’t even remember what season 2 was about. Was it Little Fires Everywhere or was that a completely different show with Reese?

[@ladyhotep5189]

It's because there wasn't supposed to be a season 2. But the audience kept requesting it and season 1 did so well. Season 1 was adapted from a book or something. Season 2 was not. So...

[@ladyhotep5189]

​@@itss_nattyjlittle fires everywhere is a different show with Reece and the lady from scandal. Kerry Washington I think her name is.

[@_mermaidguts]

I still don't really know why season two happened. I was so confused. Season one is a great standalone.

[@user-pl3ov4vx3h]

@@_mermaidguts Yeah season 2 was all over the place and now they're supposedly working on a season 3

[@Mesiawhy]

Season 2 sucks don’t even bother with it. Season 1 is peak television

[@Patrick.V.]

Season 2 has something that a lot of shows dont have! GREAT ACTING!!!!!

[@leemacarthur5815]

I love this show but the scenes with Nicole Kidman were so hard to watch
