"wait this is kind of fierce" me the entire show

[@Karen_Tries]

I wish y’all just binged this and made one long video cause I NEED y’all’s reactions now! 😂😂❤❤

[@ashleyhoover1559]

I agree with that

[@skwinkle210]

yass!!!!!! been waiting for the second video XD cant wait !!!

[@ChristineSimensen]

Hahah, yaaaas

[@niles8102]

"Aww nuts! Mom's a ghost!" Girl, I laughed so hard on lunch break in the middle of the mall food court

[@Allonsy305]

As someone who always wondered what succession would looking if it were horror, this show is scratching many itches.

[@da24110]

!!!!!yes

[@Cinna316]

Pretty much 😅

[@cyanrose499]

Literally what I was thinking 😂

[@jasminem3436]

I, too, appreciate Cody’s knowledge. I watched the series already and missed a lot so im excited for the rest of the series from you guys

[@MISTERBABAD00K]

Get ready for a wild -ass ride! This show was incredible! The moment I was finished with it I wanted to rewatch it immediately.

[@tsumem]

i regretted when i finished it....because i will never be able to experience it for the first time again. Amazing show

[@ssagard2000]

"Prospero was the name of the..." Me: I see you are a man of culture.

[@masteronionnorth2341]

The actress that plays Camille is Mike Flanagan's wife. She was in The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass and Hush. And yes, she's a drop dead gorgeous looking woman.

[@Shyknit]

This show is going to be Mike's most talked about show I can feel it, I also love how queer it is and the comedy is just right, look at that it's cake!

[@Vampiredarkheart]

Verna is an anagram for Raven, so yes she's definitely the raven. Loved the reaction, can't wait to rewatch this with you!

[@PushyDruid]

I was just about to say this

[@niles8102]

The cinematography, the outfits, the music, the atmosphere This show was *CHEFS KISS*

[@jacobia7093]

Love, love, love Mike Flanagan’s work. The man’s a master storyteller 😎

[@JulesKM]

Mary McDonnell as present day Mads is perfect and terrifying and honestly… I’d do anything she says 🔥 This show is an insane ride, but Flanagan manages to anchor it well so you don’t get lost. The emotional rollercoaster you’ll go on however… is off the rails!

[@JoeCharlesKaye]

Keep in mind while watching this that Bruce Greenwood (old Rodrick) replaced Frank Langella 3/4 into filming, so practically every shot with Bruce Greenwood in it was part of emergency reshoots!

[@ayaehab]

Bruce knocked it out of the park tho!

[@Nexils]

Ooh no way! I can totally see why they cast the younger Roderick becuase he does look a little more like Langella than Greenwood.

[@JoeCharlesKaye]

@@ayaehab oh completely! This might be my favorite performance I've seen him give. Honestly it all worked out for the better here!

[@yvettecole7215]

The journey ya'll are taking with this show! The easter eggs for Poe nerds!

[@gilmariebrioso1554]

Can't wait to see Cody's reactions!

[@jorreca]

I'm obsessed with the whole Mike Flannaverse series! And now I'm obsessed with you both. Can't wait for the rest and Bly and Midnight Mass.

[@Ladymacbeth1755]

Watching this show as an Edgar Allan Poe reader is SUCH AN EXPERIENCE. When I watched it the first time, I was bouncing off the walls in excitement with every reference I spotted. (Btw Eliza was Poe's mother AND his wife's middle name, her first name was Virginia, so GREAT catch. And William Longfellow was named after a writer William Longfellow, a writer that Poe was VERY critical of, even acusing him of plagiarism once. Another cool nod to Poe in this episode is that the priest at the beginning is reciting excerpts of two of his poems, "For Annie" and "Spirits of the Dead")

[@therealbosshogg]

Cody is me throughout this entire series! There are so many Edgar Allan Poe easter eggs throughout the series! You guys are going to love this!

[@sarahj6995]

My favorite Flanagan movie is Oculus, such a mind f*ck. The Haunting of Hill House, this current series, man, i love them all. He makes such SMART content. I love his dialogue. It is art.

[@georgedominguez255]

Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell,Ruth Codd,Kate Siegel,T’Nia Miller,Willa Fitzgerald ,Katie Parker,Crystal Balint,Kyliegh Curran,Annabeth Gish and Samantha Sloan all made the show! The gentleman were awesome also! All acting powerhouses!

[@LadyJenevia]

I just finished the season a couple of hours ago and all I have to say is WOW, Mike Flanagan needs to pay for MY THERAPY. Also love that he made this for the sad, literary girlies, with all the stories drawing inspiration from Edgar Allen Poe works. Looking forward to watching your journey through the ✨mayhem✨ and ✨devastation✨ of this series. Definitely my favourite Mike Flanagan series so far (though my favourite work of his is still Doctor Sleep, and was thrilled to see how many actors from that film appeared in House of Usher, too!)

[@Oso_Bucco]

I love how knowledgeable Cody is when it comes to Poe's writings. I can see how giddy he gets when he's talking about the elements in the show so far. I always have fun watching y'alls reactions! Big bear hugs! 💜🐻

[@jaedenet12]

YAY!!! I can't wait for the next episode. You guys are in for a treat with this series. The range of these actors is amazing. Most of them are from Mike's other projects, the younger cast from The Midnight Club. Also, I say this every video I watch, but Cody is SO DAMN smart.

[@vivitaquerida]

I love that you are getting some of the reference because yo know Poe's work..that makes this journey more enjoyable.

[@gacchan]

I am sooooo excited to see you watch this. I am a huge Poe nerd and love Mike's works and devoured this show so quick and immediately needed reactions. It's so, so good. I am SO ready. Also, Verna is an anagram for Raven.

[@paulinekeown2472]

I just watched episode 3 yesterday, and I cannot wait to follow this with you guys. Watching movies and TV shows is so much more enjoyable with Cody and Sergio.

[@santipapa6986]

12:46 this is how this man makes me feel very time I spot him in one of Flanagan's project, I squeal in joy

[@linda_jac]

Cody out here with all the FACTS!! His knowledge knows no bounds.

[@eliberg-maas5340]

18:10 if it's "Non Vesets Virtute" that's "Do not grow weary of virtue", which seems plausible. That said, I simply can't zoom in enough on mobile to see clearly.

[@eliberg-maas5340]

Zoomed in its clearly "Non vi sed virtute" - "Not by force, but by virtue". Even more apropos.

[@LavenderViolet536]

YES!! So excited that you're reacting to this. I binged the whole thing the weekend it came out. It's so, so good. Mike Flanagan hits it out of the park yet again.

[@kalehead0075]

Woo! This show is so good- can’t wait to watch it again with you guys.

[@_Nasha_]

You all have stronger will power than me! I was so hooked from episode 1 and binge-watched the whole series. I look forward to watching your reactions! Every episode delivers

[@doitsushine92]

this show was AMAZING i am so excited to see your reactions

[@izzypena164]

I just finished this show last night and wowwwww I loved this show it was so well written and absolutely breathtaking.

[@eighthdoctor]

SO glad you lads are reacting to this (just finished it 2 days ago after taking my time with it during the week). This is a great show and I am excited to hear that you will be doing _Midnight Mass_ and _The Haunting of Bly Manor_ as well! 💜💜

[@jazmineroche5416]

IM SO HAPPY YOU ARE DOING THIS SHOW! enjoy! ❤

[@ChristaBlack-gn8ys]

2:55 Me: "And sometimes kooky" 😏

[@tallasianchick]

Edgar Allan Poe wrote a poem to a man he was friends with while drunk on juleps, confessing his infatuation for him!

[@jai07070]

OMG! I just binge watched this series this weekend then watched your reactions! I love your reactions and can't wait for your next video! You are in for a wild ride! I'm so glad Cody can spot alot of Poe references! Love you guys, best reactions!

[@LaFayette3110]

Ayeee Midnight Mass is my favorite

[@msgSharke]

I’ve watched so many reactions to this show and so far your reaction and comments are the best and catch a LOT of references to Edgar Allen Poe’s work. ❤

[@GC5295]

Finished the series a few days ago. Loved it!!! Can’t wait to watch your reactions to each episode. So good! Enjoy guys 🤗

[@Adambomb7383TTV]

Yall are in for a huge treat, this was so good!

[@niles8102]

This was only Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), Sauriyan Sapkota (The Midnight Club) & Kyliegh Curran (Doctor Sleep) 2nd roles and they ATE 👏 THEM 👏 UP! I see all 3 of them are definitely going places! Just you wait!

[@AnaFox]

I loveee watching you nerd out to this!!!

[@grahmhayden]

Yesss!! So excited for yall to watch!!

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I am SO excited to see you guys watch this fantastic series!

[@vic1015]

this show looks so good I’m very excited to watch you guy’s reaction to it also I love Cody telling everyone the reference the show makes to Edgar Allan Poe I would honestly watch a whole video or series of videos of Cody talking about him 🖤

[@JC_Cali]

So glad y'all did this cuz y'all inspired me to watch the show since I didn't know anything about it! What I've seen, it's a WILD ride and I'm ready for it all - both the show and y'all reactions!

[@angelaedwards8097]

I love watching your reactions you both have such a warmth and happy vibes and your beautiful faces make me smile 💕💕

[@dylantruex8002]

YAYYYY this show is so good and you're some of my favorite reactors i'm so excited

[@hacho378]

Litterally just finished binging this in 1 day and immediately had to see yalls reaction to this! 😂❤

[@nyra7515]

Yay!! I was hope you guys would react to this. Great spooky show.

[@matte5705]

Definitely mystery. Edgar Allen Poe literally invented or at least is commonly credited with creating the entire genre of detective story, in Murder at the Rue Morgue. Detective Dupin was sort of the blueprint for both Sherlock Holmes and Poirot

[@sexydirrtymoney]

26:06 Verna is an anagram for Raven 🤷‍♂

[@eliberg-maas5340]

26:00 and in the story the person who is lured down and buried alive is named Fortunado.

[@peytonkirk106]

Watched the first episode just so I could enjoy this show w y’all I’m exciteddd and I got freshened up on my Edgar Allan Poe too so I am readyyyy

[@HelloEarthling]

i Just binged 8 hour of this shit!! I loved it. just wow. I've enjoyed all mike flanigans shows, they're incredible.

[@London.229]

Guys look the horrorbandwagon has made a new upload!😌

[@carlosriveraauthor]

I've been counting the days for you guys to do this one. Love you both! I'm shocked you caught the room colors. Big applause. That one for me was super obscure and I realized it like in episode 6. I was like "those are the room colors! cool reference!" And yes. We all got the hots for Rahul Kohli

[@muginfires]

just finished bingeing this

[@kamrynbolan9525]

Please more!! Cody is so great for coming in with past lore! ✨obsessed✨

[@suchageekblog]

Oh boy, y’all aren’t ready for episode 2.

[@itsmainelyyou5541]

Is the jester a Danse Macabre reference and a Hop-Frog? Ugh, it also makes me want to pull out my Poe, it's been too long!

[@danis4187]

I CAN'T WAIT for yall to watch Bly Manor! I've seen people say that Hill House is a story about family, Midnight Mass about religion, Midnight Club is about death, and Usher is about immortality. I love Bly Manor the most because it's really a story about love, and I think you guys will adore it

[@shaylaprice3599]

Babes it’s gonna get crazier as it progresses binged it in one day my god !!!

[@zen-sufi]

Yeeeeah buddy. I was hoping y'all would react to this show! 😊😊 Did you guys watch Flanagan's other series?

[@mismismism]

Every episode when the title pops up all I hear in my head is "These are my confessions" sang slow and echoey to make it scary lol.

[@gghost9421]

That jester near on gave me a heart attack at the end of the episode 😂

[@greatidea682]

12:45 my thoughts exactly 😏😌

[@KitsuneRokaku]

Fun fact: Verna is an anagram for Raven. As in THE Raven. Quoth the Raven "Nevermore" Raven

[@spicynoodle22]

Alright y’all I need the reactions to all episodes yesterday, please & thanks!

[@user-oo7dw4qw4b]

This is definitely in the Top 3 of Mike's best works in Netflix

[@ET_Zombie]

I just finished this show today. It's killer. I can't wait to watch the rest of your reactions, especially with the literary knowledge in play. Y'all are going to love it. It's wild and SO good. Honestly, I think it's my favourite Flanagan work so far. I want to see if he picked up/recognised everything that I did. =D

[@jendoe411]

Thank you for reacting to this show. I look forward to all your reaction videos to all episodes. I already finished watching them all and I love it. Please do watch Midnight Mass, you'll love it too.

[@JoRN1222]

It was an awesome series with a great cast!

[@Louise-wk5yf]

The wetness monologue 😭

[@katiesherman6517]

I saw the jester and flipped out! That is my favorite story and favorite character from all of Edgar Allan Poe! I hate the character in this show, but in the original story he is my favorite! But also, yeah each kid is based off a different story. And all the deaths are references as well. The most confusing from a reference point is the Gold Bug, but that’s because they are actually using two stories for that particular character.

[@leora8278]

If you haven't watched The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass those were my favourite Mike Flanagan shows but everything he does is great.

[@vickycollard3080]

I need more episode reaction 😩😩😍😍😍😍😍

[@davecahyo]

Wait for it, the 2nd episode is the best!

[@JungleJuliaDP]

I'm excited for your reactions to this, but when are you finishing Scream Queens season two?! 😭

[@thaisttx]

my fav show from mike until now

[@Quzga]

Same, I was so hooked. Most entertaining one he's made.

[@elphiegreen]

I AM SO EXCITED yall are covering this show its SO GOOOOOD

[@thebookgeek87]

I'm binge watching yall reactions to this show because I just finished watching the show. I'm still in the beginning of this video but have you also read The Cask of Amontillado? Did you pick up on the name Fortunato? Fortunato is the name of a character in that story who wasn't so "fortunate" 😉

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

A Ghost? And yes there are a few more movies, there was a recent one actually. Last year or so I think.

[@squirtdraws9260]

Yall should definitely post reactions to Mike Flanagan's other Netflix series! The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass! THoHH and THoBM aren't exactly connected, they just have similar titles. Midnight Mass is a lot more religious and each episode is titled after books in the Bible. THoHH has a lot more jumpscares and is a lot more paranormal, but THoBM is a lot more romantic, but it still has some paranormal aspects to it. I definitely recommend all three series!

[@yaelkellman9686]

Can Cody explain why their meeting is taking place on the 20th of November, 2023 - i.e. a few weeks AFTER the show first aired?

[@kelseyj.c7828]

Have you guys done Mike Flannigan’s other shows?

[@bloodhound4741]

I’ve watched a lot of House of Usher reactions. And so far, you are the first people to assume that Verna is a witch.

[@albertosahagian4590]

This show Its awsome ❤❤❤❤

[@ferragamofalcon8236]

Me watching 25:50-26:00 already knowing how the show ends: 👁👃🏾👁

[@thaisttx]

omg YES

[@kaylakurosaki4873]

B!tchhhhhh, yes. She was the President. I'm so happy someone else noticed that. So say we all!

[@Gkwilson1487]

PLZZZZ update soon!!!

[@EchanteDante]

@thehorrorbandwagon 12:46 Same Rahul Kohli is so cute! And he is an absolute sweetheart! He is friends with a gaming youtuber I watch Alanah Pearce and he is always on her channel and podcasts. He has never said anything about his sexuality but he has made references to hot guys…and loving the gay fans. But then he has also mentioned things about going to a strip straight club. So not sure if he actually is but I get the sense that he is bi or pansexual. Which makes him even sexier.

[@Shyknit]

Damn Cody is on it lol 😅
