[@Diegesis]

Getting started on Spooky Season Woot!

[@social_goes_static]

I didn’t realize they haven’t reacted to this yet. Wow. This is going to be fun. 😊

[@jackvarga6489]

once you start with Flannagan you cant stop. midnight mass is my fave

[@macaronicism]

So glad you guys are watching this! Getting to see people discover the beauty that is this show is one of my favourite things.

[@tylergrammer5022]

"Scared shitless while very very sad" is the perfect description for most of Mike Flanagans movies and shows

[@alejandrobonfil2818]

This show is an absolute masterpiece. Please watch all the other Mike Flanagan shows/movies. Beautiful writing and a different type of horror.

Yes, I’d love to see Midnight Mass next!

Why don’t you Let them finish this season first before you start with all of that BS.

[@josephhein9497]

@@georgehannefordiii5361 Calm down, champ. No need for such hostility.

[@joshschwarzbauer8155]

I absolutely love how people jump into this show prepared for the spookers, but zero idea how emotional its going to make them- I cannot wait to watch you two bawling like you did at the end of stranger things. This show is a monster.

[@proteusblack8913]

There is another youtuber who only does horror on the channel she started reacting to this on. But she stopped before it could get very emotional. I personally think it's because she only wanted to keep her camera performance focused around acting super scared and she began to realize this show would break that, so she stopped reacting to it. Disappointing.

[@joshschwarzbauer8155]

@@proteusblack8913 That is super disappointing. The scares are still very effective, if fleeting towards the end. But my goodness, this show is a masterpiece.

[@pamelawilliams3144]

​​@@proteusblack8913im pretty sure I know who you're talking about and she just took a break from editing shows for youtube. The whole season is on her patreon and she just posted episode 8 here. So whatever it is that you're trying to insinuate is just flat out not the case.

[@tastyneck]

@@proteusblack8913 Who is it? I'm genuinely interested because I think I've seen most every channel react to this show but I don't recall anyone I've watched that stopped without finishing it. Is it Kat?

[@supafly7145]

Personally I call it a spoiler but I guess you couldn't help it.

[@shaftpunk84]

@@supafly7145 telling someone a show is sad is not a spoiler.

[@rishabhpb]

Yeah, the show's more sad than scary for sure.

[@briangonigal3974]

It’s kind of a spoiler but at the same time it’s kind of a neccesary warning: going in to a show like this you’re expecting to be scared, you’re not expecting, or really ready, to be so emotionally devastated.

[@rajwahi7387]

"Why are you being so mean right now?" "I'm scared!" Weirdly, this made sense.

[@Etticos.]

And these poor girls thought Stranger Things caused emotional pyschic trauma. Keep your eyes peeled for g-g-g-ghooossstss. Seriously though, this series is incredibly beautiful in its sadness and the quality of its writing. I wouldn’t even say it’s a horror, more like a melancholic family drama with horror as the setting. I love this story.

[@josephhein9497]

One of the saddest stories I've seen in a long time. The finale stuck with me for weeks afterward.

[@Etticos.]

@@josephhein9497 same dude seriously. Honestly, it has stuck with me since it first came out. The writing is really just top notch and so moving.

[@Johnny_Socko]

"Keep your eyes peeled for g-g-g-ghooossstss." Right, Raggy! 😄

[@I_Kare]

Yes - the Dad's eyes look that way because of contacts - older Dad actor (Timothy Hutton) has blue eyes and young Dad actor (Henry Thomas) has a dark hazel, so they tried to match them with the contacts....but sometimes you can see his real iris as well.

[@Milovatsi]

The choice was stupid! Give Timothy brown contacts, so much easier.

[@davidhart6291]

This is simply one of the best shows ever put on television. The writing, acting, cinematography, directing, everything. And each episode just keeps getting better. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@Darkstar72SR]

You break into your brother’s house because there’s a pretty damn good chance he’s not gonna call the cops on you for stealing his crap.

[@DeathBean89]

and you already know what kind of stuff you can expect to be there

[@T-SwiftsMaritalAid]

most likely reason is because he knows it’s safe. Anywhere else always has the chance of catching 00 buckshot to the face. Which is how it should be

[@jhornacek]

Also, later in the series you find out that Luke originally went there to talk to Steve, not break in.

[@Udgrasil13]

Helly yeah. I love Mike Flanagan so much. "Midnight Mass" is one of my favorite shows of all time but I like all his work so far. I am stoked for this.

[@gabiayad1266]

Midnight mass is incredible. I watched it all in one sitting during covid. Absolutely wrecked me. Probably the ex-Catholic school girl in me lol.

[@Udgrasil13]

@@gabiayad1266 Ia mnot catholic but my family is pretty religious. I am an atheist but faith is still fascinating to me (and scary).

[@Stevemcnash]

This show has it all, but the EDITING is out of this world. Or in the case of "Two Storms", the lack of editing 🤯. Absolutely top tier show, excited for y'all to experience it!

[@MISTERBABAD00K]

This may be my favorite season of TV (tied with True Detective Season 1). So happy you are starting this journey.

[@velvetjoyvanderslice9213]

Excellent call with True Detective season 1!!!!!

[@aghostisawish]

Something tells me you and I would be friends. This and TD season 1 are absolute masterpieces and my absolute favs as well!

[@geneticjen9312]

Huh that is high praise. If only I could sit through the spooky 😅 (Chernobyl took top spot for me from True Detective)

[@sophie7412]

can’t wait for you guys to get into this! I’m not typically someone who watches horror but I watched this with my sisters (who love horror) when this came out and now I will literally watch anything Mike Flanagan makes. This one is probably my favorite of the “Flanaverse” shows though. The characters, the acting, the storyline, the cinematography, the writing!!! Masterpiece!!!!

[@jake4174]

13:22 smack coot and scoot is WILD 😂😂😂 lmao!

[@Kanjo_Bazooie]

This is one of my favorite shows in years, across all genres. Writing and acting is top notch, atmosphere is perfect, and the journey is amazing.

[@slmott399]

"Smack Coot and Scoot" is a hell of a t-shirt, so I definitely encourage you to look into that.

[@donovanb9020]

Truly a goated phrase.

Enjoy the Mike Flanagan journey! This show is a masterpiece and I hope you'll continue with the others. Midnight Mass is incredible, and one of my favorites

So just so you know...this show is PERFECT. It is EXPERTLY crafted. Yes it's Horror but it's really great Drama too. You two have signed up for an amazing journey.

[@drix4275]

Even the second season is amazing, even if only for the "What is happening?!" whodunnit moments. Season 1 is proper scary AND emotional.

Ok. This is a really good show. Hopefully no one spoils it. Can’t wait for your reactions, will give me something to watch while I wait for Lasso reactions

[@patt3rs358]

This is one of the most beautifully written and tragic stories I’ve ever heard, and is also one of my favorites. So glad you’re reacting to it!

[@kemojoaquin]

I hope you guys do Midnight Mass as well someday, it might be my favorite Flannigan show. It’s a bit heavy handed like the rest of his stuff imo, but it’s like a fun macabre roller coaster.

[@mattyh2464]

I love Flanagan shows for putting a spotlight on three actresses that I adore and feel are deeply underrated… Carla Gugino, Samantha Sloyan and T’Nia Miller!

They match the older Hugh's eyes is why. I steongly suggest (if you enjoy this) watching Bly Manor, Midnight Mass and The Fall of The House of Usher. Each one is a masterpiece in it's own right and im sure you'll love them all.

The reason the dad is more at ease is because he doesn’t believe in ghosts. Oh, and he doesn’t know HE’S IN A TV SHOW ABOUT GHOSTS! You guys do, so OF COURSE you’re on edge.

There's a certain episode I'm already looking forward to... Also, I appreciate the hidden ghosts pointers. I knew they existed but couldn't be bothered to find them all on my own. Oh! And the dark room! A great thing that more reactors should do. Watching horror movies in a well lit room is easy mode.

My cousin recommended this for me to watch, the first episode was cool, but having watched horror over the years this was run of the mill. I'll start back watching alongside with you guys just to finish it.

[@WhatExcellentBoiledPo-ta-toes]

Well it's based on a novel from 1959 and has been adapted into movies multiple times so it's going to have familiar elements. Also this show is brilliant don't just watch it to finish it watch it because it's a good story with good acting and a lot of interlacing story elements and ghost Easter eggs. 😅
