[@Cyrinil142]

Not true. Both season two and three dropped the first three episodes all at once and then went weekly. That drop in the ratings didn't happen until season three got up and running. The show got review bombed because a certain segment of people took until season three to realise that the show hates them and everything they stand for. You know the ones.

Or go check social media posts and find who it was around S3 time who was posting "Wait, when did this show get all political? Are they making fun of me? 1/5 review."

[@EchanteDante]

+The React Pack I think you’re going to love this! This show is soo soo much fun and just sooo current and relevant today. I really enjoyed this reaction and I hope you decide to incorporate more live action into your lineup…because not that I dislike animation I just have a really hard time getting into it an only follow through with very few animated shows (I loved Legend of Vox Machina, Invincible, Avatar Last Airbender, and Harley Quinn on HBOMAX). Here’s some liveaction shows that I think would be great for your channel and get you some subscribers and views because people generally enjoy reaction videos for them….plus they are just great shows: Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Stranger Things, and any MCU aka Marvel live action content. (p.s. Walking Dead isnt very scary compared to most horror/zombie content…it’s more about the people and their relationships/conflicts and the zombies are more of just part of the world). Just a friendly suggestion ;) it’s your channel you do what makes things enjoyable for you but definitely think certain live action content could be a great addition.
