@@ScooterSkillsYolo Lesbians can have children, you fucking idiot. And the actress who plays her isn't lesbian. But that's besides the point. You fucking idiot.
The part i didn't quite get until this last watch, was that if you pay attention it was actually Clara who held Abigail's hand right after she died. Then Abigail was there when Clara died. It's all a bit timey-wimey, but very cool.
Nell’s speech to everyone makes me cry, and touches me in a deep place, talking about life and death, and never truly being gone, all that kind of thing... gosh this show is just so well done.
I love how her lines are scrambled at first, and then get pieced together. There's a poetic quality to it, and it represents a lot of how things are presented in the show.
@@zephyr835 I loved it. Victoria did an amazing job with that scene. I can't wait to see more of her! I loved Nell since Ep1 and spent the whole show crying whenever she was on screen. This episode is really emotional, every Nell's scene is gold.
"I am not gone. I am scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled on your life like new snow." One of my favorite parts of the show. Really reminds me of Vikings when Ragnar says his eulogy to his daughter Gyda. "You are not gone because you are always in my heart."
Through those couple of minutes when you think Luke is dead I kept saying "DON'T TURN IT OFF YET!!' lol I was really worried you were going to bail seconds before Luke revives.
I usually cringe at things that are very sympathetic but this really got me. This show is so good. I know they want to make another season of it but it's been confirmed that it will not feature the Crains, it might be a prequel on the actual Hill family. I'm just happy that the Crains got their closure and bittersweet ending.
I love that you are a reactor that is not afraid to show your emotions, so many others phone it in.. Hill House suprised me so much i went from thinking it was a horror to blubbering like a baby half the way through the season.
This series was one of the best I've ever seen, the acting, directing, story line was so good ! The Nell/Luke characters were two of the best I've ever seen, so much depth, kudos to both actors. Great reaction man. Peace ✌
When i was watching this episode from my phone with headphones, tears running down my face, my wife asked me "you watching the horror show or what?" I barely could say "yep" while holding back from breaking down. Such a great show, best series script-wise ever.
I watched this show not too long after it was released...TWICE! Afterwards, I was obsessed with finding videos...anything about this show and came across your reaction video to the first episode. I've got to say, your videos are the BEST! Thanks for being so open and honest in your emotions and commentaries. I've enjoyed this ride with you! 😊
God, I started crying all over again watching you get emotional. I love your channel and the way you react. And I'll be rewatching your reactions to this.
I think the reason why this show packs a punch emotionally for so many people, is because many aspects are so recognisable. The whole family aspect of growing up as a kid, the growing up with your brothers and sisters that are all unique individuals, but despite that, despite the arguments and fights sometimes. You always loved each other, talked and played with each other. And then many years later everyone grew up to become who they are now. And some events from the past played a role. And in many cases, for some reason, you went your own way, lost sight of one another. You forgot those precious moments you had together as kids. Sometimes we really need to remind ourselves that we are still that kid. That kid we forgot about and we still have that bond. Also with our parents, who when you are a kid are just perfect and holy. You never doubt them. But they are not. They make mistakes just as we do when we are grown up and in many cases we make the exact same mistakes. The problem is, that over the years we become too stubborn to take the step and say sorry. Admit that you were wrong also. And now that you are an adult yourself, you can see that.
Exactly. I wish more people understood this. I see so many people writing off characters like Steven and Shirley but to me this show just showed us that people are different. Everyone has their own "ghosts" and things they have to deal with. Everyone grieves differently and that's okay. Family can be even more hurtful at times because there's a lot of love there.
Man, watching you watching this made me cry all over again! This was a ride on so many levels and I'm glad you stuck with it. This is what television, good television, should be. Thanks for the reactions! Still the #1 Reactor to me! (+ cat)
That same scene with the father got me too. I lost my father about 8 years ago. He was a great dad. Had a stressful job but was still a joy to everyone who knew him. He visited me in a dream shortly after he passed away. We saw each other and we didn't need to say anything, we just hugged and cried it out. Waking up was the hardest part of that which is why Luke waking up after seeing his mom hit me so hard too. The show understands grief so vividly and it's a masterpiece. So so sorry for your loss bro.
Not sure if you picked up on it but Theo and Trish both had on wedding rings at Luke’s 2 year party. Her and Nelly are definitely my favorites. Nell made so much impact for basically only having one full episode. It’s quite a testament to the writing and acting
The Stephen King adaptation Gerald's Game is also by Mike Flanagan with a few of the same actors from this. Awesome movie. One of the best movies of last year IMO. And Flanagan's next project is directing Doctor Sleep, another Stephen King gig, the sequel to The Shining. They began filming it in September.
Its been a pleasure rewatching this with you on your first watch through. I've two children and this show hit me incredibly hard. Truly one of the most beautiful and wonderful shows I've ever watched.
My bio dad passed away a few months ago, truck accident, and I hadn't spoken to him in over 15 years and I thought I wouldn't care if he was gone, but when I heard I broke down. Even though we hadn't spoken, he was still a part of me, and I had so many questions and what ifs. I had so much I wanted to say to him, to ask him why he never wanted to me or to just know if maybe there was a chance to reconcile, but I never got that chance and it hurt. A part of me still loved him, even if he never loved me.
So glad I am a subscriber and a Patron, your reactions are bone-honest and are an emotional labour art - Thank You for allowing us to witness this transformation and journey of honesty and gravitas of truly feeling!
the writing an cinematography is incredible! at the beginning of the show steve said 'those who walked there walked alone' and at the end steve says ' those who walk there walk alone' just incredibly well made i just love it such talented people and incredible story argh im obessed!
I LOVED the reveal of what the red room was. Whatever that person needed to make them feel safe, the house would morph into that, not in a caring way but as a manipulation to absorb them as they became more settled and more comfortable and wouldn’t want to leave.
I think my favorite moment of the whole how was Nell talking to them in the red room. the moment I connected that the things she was saying were scattered before it connected with what Shirley said. And hearing the phrases I've already heard fall into place in her monologue, and her finally being able to have that closure and bring that closure to her siblings. And that the "go" and "don't" Luke saw in the rehab home and in the funeral were her still being scattered telling Luke not to stay in the red room.
Brother! Your channel is wicked authentic , Your thoughts and reactions are true and I feel like I am watching with a best mate It was a pleasure to watch along with you and this amaze-balls show! One of the best done. Your honesty when you got the feels, made me re believe in human beings. Zanks a Banks ! For being this awesome-sauce human being! Cheers
Your personal story reveals what a generous soul you are, and the fact that past abuse has made you kinder rather than meaner should be an inspiration. Well done.
what a journey! my mom died july 3 this year from cancer and it was my first intimate experience with death. it all just left me pondering lots of unanswered questions. it wasnt loud profuse crying grief, it was surreal and feels-like-slow-motion grief. it just felt like there was no closure. so watching this show really helped me think about mortality and death through a brighter lens. that death is something we all share and it kind of binds us in the end - and that it may not be the end. its pretty weird, but it felt like a revelation. great reactions as usual! love the channel
Super late to the party, but I just finished watching your entire "Haunting of Hill House" playlist. I found the first one of your videos as a recommendation in my home page because I was not sure about watching the show; but I have to say watching you react made me not only watch the entire season, but suscribe and now I'm also watching The last kingdom. Thanks for being such a nice guy and sharing with us all your emotions!
I’m kind of late to the party commenting here, but I wanted to tell you how much these videos touched my heart. When I first watched Hill House, I was emotionally moved beyond nearly any other television series. I look, act, and unfortunately have the same proclivity for self-destruction as Nell. Hearing you love her episode, and be so open about how this show personally impacted you, brought me an unspeakable amount of joy and validation. I cried along with you as you watched, and then again as you told as personal stories. With love from America-we walk together. ❤️
I absolutely loved this show it's perfectly crafted and you can tell everyone involved was so dedicated. Glad I found that you did these reactions let me basically watch the series again without having to put the full time into it all not that it isn't worth it. It is probably one of my favorite shows I have seen every moment and every scene means something and has it's purpose and it is so impressive when a series is able to do something quite like that and the wake episode is just amazing with the single shots being used and the end of it with Nell's voice over playing over her bent neck ghost standing before her casket is just heart breaking and perfect
The way that the show handles the grief is one of the greatest things. My dad recently had his father pass away and him and his siblings are still not on great terms. Kinda weird how we watched the show together right before it happened.
Just finished watching you watch this series in one sitting. Your reactions were so genuine and it was such a treat to see you go through this crazy emotional journey. Thanks for posting and keep 'em coming!
I know this is a year late but I loved your reaction. I also want to say how perfect the end song by Gregory Alan Isakov was as a wrap up of the season... "This house, she's holding secrets"
Thank you for these amazing reactions being completely submersed into it, not holding back and being so passionate. I’d love to see your reaction to Hush!! That will be amazing 😍
That's heartbreaking about your father and how your relationship was with him. Makes me wish I could go back in time and change things for your younger self. I've just binged through your Haunting Hill House reactions. It's been an emotional experience. So much heartbreak in this show, some hit close to home. I think my favorite characters are Hugh and Nell. Two people who went above and beyond to save their family.
that final scene with the Dudleys breaks me every single time. as with everything in this series, all the characters are layered and nuanced, even the house! thanks for the journey. I really enjoyed your entire reaction to this series.
I've watched this show twice and seeing your reaction really helps because it hit you in the feels at the exact times it did me. I was a mess after the final episode, and you weren't the only one to not get the red room, my tiny little mind was blown. Anyway, know this is well old, but love your reactions and this was a great one 👍
My condolences to you on your dads passing Sith. You are such a good man for taking care of him dispite your difficult relationship, it,s not an easy thing to do. Also I have really enjoyed your reaction to this series, and empathy for the characters. And your cute giggle.
This is by far one of my favorite reactiona to Hill House, and ive watched so many to count, but thank you for this, very real and emotional and true, thank you for sharing it all with us. Im so happy you enjoyed it as much as we did. Im really hoping you get to see more of Flanagan like Bly but specially Midnight Mass. 🎉
This show is probably my favorite series of all time. I’ve watched a bunch of reaction videos to this show and your reaction to this series alone made me sub. So many people joke or laugh (which I can understand, it’s a heavy show), but seeing your raw emotion to it was so refreshing. It somehow made me feel less alone in my reaction and connection to the show. ❤️ Looking forward to seeing more of your vids!
I’ve started watching some reactions and turned them off for a variety of reasons: people talking too much and talking over important dialogue, people joking and acting childish, and people who just didn’t seem to get it. It’s good to find reactions that mirrored mine or people who really appreciate what a masterpiece this truly is.
I was like you in this episode, crying, crying, crying... it’s so emotionally charged, it’s one of the best series I’ve seen this year... I have the luck to still have both my parents but I’m very sympathetic to all the situations of many of the characters. I remember that I wrote about what’s being the eldest child in another video, and sometimes parents put a lot of expectations on you... also expect you to be “the” example for your younger siblings... so sometimes you become very responsible, afraid of failure and very perfectionist... so when you make mistakes you keep remembering them and punishing yourself for them... you also become very intolerant about others failures or mistakes too... so I understand and kinda empathize with Shirley... not my favorite character (Theo is) but I can’t help but feel for her because I was there in a moment of life.
I lost my brother last year in May, it was sudden & unexpected..similar to this, as we are still unsure as to if it was intentional or not. It’s 5 of us kids, just like this show.. seeing all of their relationships play out was an emotional roller coaster for me. But mostly seeing the 4 remaining siblings walking up to Nell’s casket, I had severe flashbacks..because I did the same with my siblings when it was time for us to see our brother one last time. We had to have a closed casket.. but man.. this show was sooo deep to me, in so many ways! Thank you for your sincere/emotional reactions... I truly appreciated these reviews from you!!
F'n fantastic! I absolutely love the emotion that pours out of you. I lost my mom just over 2 years ago, I was her primary care taker. I'm now looking after my dad. You are fabulous! I watching your Vikings reactions and I can hardly wait to watch your GoT reactions. Thank you for reacting.
The brothers represent the 5 stages of mourning. Steven is the "Negation", Shirley is the "Anger", Theo is the "Business", Luke is the "Depression" and Nell is the "Acceptance" So Steven did not believe in the ghosts even if he saw them, Shirley was angry with everyone, with Steven for the book, with Theo for the money and the husband, with Luke for the drugs and Nell for committing suicide. Theo as you say is in the middle and that allows the negotiation. Luke is obviously the depression and even more so after the death of Nell and Nell finally accepting the dead when he went home. Excellent show and I really like your reactions, I also cried in some scenes. Congratulations.
Wow I just binge watched all your haunting of hill house reaction videos in one night and it's now 5am lol, but I have no regrets whatsoever! I absolutely love this show and it has been such a pleasure watching your reactions (I'm a huge Theo fan as well!! And my fav episode is #3!). Your genuine emotions and narrated thought process was so great to watch, and it really brought me back to how I felt while watching this show for the first time. You've got a new subscriber! Haven't even seen any of your other vids yet, but I'm sure I'll get to watch them-- I'll just need to make sure i don't pull anymore all-nighters watching your vids haha
My mum passed away 3 years ago on January the 7th. We also didn't get along, there was substance abuse and abuse of me and my brother during our childhood (she too had to give it all up later). She got really sick in the last half year of her life, I was far removed from caring for her so props to you for taking care of your father, I just couldn't. I did speak to her the day before she died. She was happy, I think she knew it wasn't long and was just grateful for time she had with her family over Christmas, especially my daughter who was with her on new year's eve. I asked her if I could help her with anything and she just smiled and said that it was okay. We said goodbye and that was it. Really brings home how much time you really have with the people in your life, even when you know there isn't much time left.
SITH you are by far the most honest and open reactor to this show, I have seen. You allowed yourself to be emotional and invested to the show. U loved how you express, your concerns,elation, and interpretation of scenes and situations.The fact you also let us in to your own relationships, made your reactions extremely true. So thank you, I found watching this show and you extremely cathartic. By far the best show this year.
I am sorry to hear about your father man. I saw your reaction on that part and noticed.. For the record this was the best reaction channel ever. Thank you.
Dude! I absolutely loved your watch videos for this show. I’m not a ‘series person’, but someone suggested it to me and this series touched me in a special way. I really appreciate and connected with your honest reactions and your sharing of your personal experiences.
i was thinking the same thing about Theo and her power, that she's embracing it, but i also like to think that maybe she has more control over it now? after everything that happened she is obviously much stronger as a person, she overcame her fear of intimacy, she's much more open, maybe all of that gave her strength to shut it off when she needs to, to rest take time to herself meanwhile NOT feeling weak or ashamed. i would love that for her. thank you SO much for doing this, for sharing your honest thoughts, feelings and emotions. i'm sorry about your dad, i cant imagine how strong you are for sharing such information with us. at the same time it made me once again realise just how amazing and spectacular this show is. so many people can relate to it on an incredibly deep levels, with the family drama, personal fears and struggles and mental health issues. i've been struggling with clinical depression for half of my life now, i love and adore the twins and Theo, they mean the world to me, but even I in some ways can relate to Steve (even tho he sucks sjkzkfmwkx, jk). its just good writing man i cant believe it. ANYWAYS, thank you so much for this and I wish you the best of holidays and happy new year.
The love between parents and sons is a complicated one. I'm going through something similar with my mum right now. You really have to park your heart on the doorstep when you go to see them, but its only to preserve the love you have for the person they were rather than the illness that erodes them. Superb reaction to a masterpiece first season. So many deep and complex characters, such a superbly woven tapestry of a story. Thanks man.
I'm so proud of you and sorry for what you've gone through. This show must have been a literal haunting and could not have been easy to watch through during some episodes and scenes. Hope you're well, hope you're good and happy, and I wish you the best.
I know I'm a bit late to this but damn what an amazing show and THANK YOU for letting us join in on your journey. Appreciate your commentary and perspective. Great reaction my dude.
Please react to the Haunting of Bly Manor. I would love to see your reaction and I think you'd really love the show. It might be kinda slow in the beginning but it's worth it!!!
Oh man im so Sorry to hear about your dad. U are great man. This show is so emotional. Personally I felt very connected to Nell, because I also suffer from depression and have had experience with sleep paralysis. Without doubt one of the best if not the best show of the year, practically perfect in all aspects, cast, acting, script, photography, direction, soundtrack... Other than that, it makes you reflect a lot on sensitive and serious issues. Anyway, an excellent show and thank you for your reactions, they are the best and no doubt you deserve more views and subs.
I just finished this episode and I'm a WRECK!! I've been watching reactions after each episode and yours just HIT ME IN THE FEELS!! I got choked up at all the same scenes. So very sorry about losing your parents. Your vulnerability is amazing 🖤
I still cry everytime. It's so sad but beautiful to know that Hugh stayed with his wife in the house. I've watched the season 5 different times and at first I didn't get it but then I understood it and i realized how sad this is.
I finished Hill House a couple weeks ago and it wrecked me and I just have to chime in to say thank you for your genuine open and heartfelt reactions - I cried several times with you man, including a few minutes ago lol. You're awesome 👍 And yes team Luke! I loved them all, especially Nell, but he was my baby.
I’ve absolutely adored your reactions to this show. They are so heartfelt and relatable and I can’t wait to see your reactions to the next season if they end up making one. 💗
I just finished binge watching all of your Hill House Playlist, great reactions! Just wanted to make sure that you plan on reacting to Flanagan's Midnight Mass. It's very different but it's a masterpiece on The Hunting of Hill House's scale in its own right (And it's starring Kate Siegel too!)
You, sir, just earned another subscriber. This is an amazing show, it stays with you long after it ends. I stumbled over your reactions here on YT and watched them all. I was in such a fucking mess after this final episode, for similar reasons to yourself. I don't think there's been a better study of grief as this show, and how it affects those left behind, for a long time. The honesty of your reactions and your emotions is a rare thing indeed. Glad to find your channel :)
I was worried you’d shut it off when things got dicey with Luke lol. Your reaction to Hugh and Steve touched me. I’m glad you were able to have a similar moment with your father. Fully agree the relatability is part of what makes me love the show. So many lines hit me deeply as well but in a cathartic way. I’m so glad it exists. And thank you for sharing your response.
good react man. nice to see real emotion and I admit I cried a few times with show too. very heavy stuff. loving your family isn't always easy but that's life. complicated
I don’t think I’ve ever watched someone react to a show but man.. your reactions are good! I actually watched all of it and man, and I don’t usually comment but you just earned a subscriber! Sorry to hear about your parents man.
Why you gotta make me cry on Christmas Eve? I really do love all of your reactions. You’re so loveable. When you’re not making me cry, you’re making me laugh with that contagious laughter of yours. Merry Christmas Sith!
I was in extreme tears after the death of Steven’s father, he was so amazing to his kids and did his best to protect his kids and now he will forever be with his wife and daughter. Probably the best show I’ve ever watched on Netflix.
Fun fact: Theo's actress just had a baby daughter and she named her Theodora after her character
That's so awesome. I loved Theo's character and the actress did her justice...big time.
🤯🤗 Thanks!

really got me at that moment.
“Everything else is confetti...”
“I loved you all completely, and you loved me the same. That’s all.”

I totally agree, young Luke is the cutest thing ever
Plus he's one of the twins in Wandavision now.

I’m sorry for ur loss 😢
Thank you for helping me appreciate this show, more than I did, thru your reactions.
Honestly Sith you deserve soooooooo many more subs, your passion and level of immersion is second to none. Great reaction to an amazing series!
Did you notice that Luke is part of a group of 7 once again?
Thank you for all the reactions but thank you so much for sharing your stories with us.
Through those couple of minutes when you think Luke is dead I kept saying "DON'T TURN IT OFF YET!!' lol I was really worried you were going to bail seconds before Luke revives.

And that the "go" and "don't" Luke saw in the rehab home and in the funeral were her still being scattered telling Luke not to stay in the red room.
Brother! Your channel is wicked authentic , Your thoughts and reactions are true and I feel like I am watching with a best mate
It was a pleasure to watch along with you and this amaze-balls show! One of the best done.
Your honesty when you got the feels, made me re believe in human beings. Zanks a Banks ! For being this awesome-sauce human being!
Cheers
It's nice to know that even through clips watching someone else watching this show, it still makes me bawl my eyes out 😂
Your personal story reveals what a generous soul you are, and the fact that past abuse has made you kinder rather than meaner should be an inspiration. Well done.
what a journey! my mom died july 3 this year from cancer and it was my first intimate experience with death. it all just left me pondering lots of unanswered questions. it wasnt loud profuse crying grief, it was surreal and feels-like-slow-motion grief. it just felt like there was no closure. so watching this show really helped me think about mortality and death through a brighter lens. that death is something we all share and it kind of binds us in the end - and that it may not be the end. its pretty weird, but it felt like a revelation.
great reactions as usual! love the channel
Fantastic show, fantastic reactions
Super late to the party, but I just finished watching your entire "Haunting of Hill House" playlist. I found the first one of your videos as a recommendation in my home page because I was not sure about watching the show; but I have to say watching you react made me not only watch the entire season, but suscribe and now I'm also watching The last kingdom. Thanks for being such a nice guy and sharing with us all your emotions!
I’m kind of late to the party commenting here, but I wanted to tell you how much these videos touched my heart. When I first watched Hill House, I was emotionally moved beyond nearly any other television series. I look, act, and unfortunately have the same proclivity for self-destruction as Nell. Hearing you love her episode, and be so open about how this show personally impacted you, brought me an unspeakable amount of joy and validation. I cried along with you as you watched, and then again as you told as personal stories. With love from America-we walk together. ❤️
I absolutely loved this show it's perfectly crafted and you can tell everyone involved was so dedicated. Glad I found that you did these reactions let me basically watch the series again without having to put the full time into it all not that it isn't worth it. It is probably one of my favorite shows I have seen every moment and every scene means something and has it's purpose and it is so impressive when a series is able to do something quite like that and the wake episode is just amazing with the single shots being used and the end of it with Nell's voice over playing over her bent neck ghost standing before her casket is just heart breaking and perfect
The way that the show handles the grief is one of the greatest things. My dad recently had his father pass away and him and his siblings are still not on great terms. Kinda weird how we watched the show together right before it happened.
Just binged all 10 episodes with you! I love your ❤️ and compassion! Sorry about your mom & dad! Hugs from St. Peter’s MO USA
beautiful reaction as always, as someone who lost a parent recently too i feel your pain this show hit me hard also x
The speech the father gives before going into the room got to me. Especially being a father of two myself it hit me hard.
This series is one of the best of all time. And your reactions too.
Just finished watching you watch this series in one sitting. Your reactions were so genuine and it was such a treat to see you go through this crazy emotional journey. Thanks for posting and keep 'em coming!
I know this is a year late but I loved your reaction. I also want to say how perfect the end song by Gregory Alan Isakov was as a wrap up of the season... "This house, she's holding secrets"
Thank you for these amazing reactions being completely submersed into it, not holding back and being so passionate. I’d love to see your reaction to Hush!! That will be amazing 😍
Thanks for being so open with your personal life! It’s really touching. You seem like a very strong person! Great reaction and commentary as usual :)
That's heartbreaking about your father and how your relationship was with him. Makes me wish I could go back in time and change things for your younger self.
I've just binged through your Haunting Hill House reactions. It's been an emotional experience. So much heartbreak in this show, some hit close to home. I think my favorite characters are Hugh and Nell. Two people who went above and beyond to save their family.
that final scene with the Dudleys breaks me every single time. as with everything in this series, all the characters are layered and nuanced, even the house! thanks for the journey. I really enjoyed your entire reaction to this series.
You are so adorable the way you get so emotional.. That was me all emotional. Its so refreshening to see a man with a soft heart.
I've watched this show twice and seeing your reaction really helps because it hit you in the feels at the exact times it did me. I was a mess after the final episode, and you weren't the only one to not get the red room, my tiny little mind was blown. Anyway, know this is well old, but love your reactions and this was a great one 👍
My condolences to you on your dads passing Sith. You are such a good man for taking care of him dispite your difficult relationship, it,s not an easy thing to do. Also I have really enjoyed your reaction to this series, and empathy for the characters. And your cute giggle.
This is by far one of my favorite reactiona to Hill House, and ive watched so many to count, but thank you for this, very real and emotional and true, thank you for sharing it all with us. Im so happy you enjoyed it as much as we did. Im really hoping you get to see more of Flanagan like Bly but specially Midnight Mass. 🎉
This show is probably my favorite series of all time. I’ve watched a bunch of reaction videos to this show and your reaction to this series alone made me sub. So many people joke or laugh (which I can understand, it’s a heavy show), but seeing your raw emotion to it was so refreshing. It somehow made me feel less alone in my reaction and connection to the show. ❤️ Looking forward to seeing more of your vids!
I’ve started watching some reactions and turned them off for a variety of reasons: people talking too much and talking over important dialogue, people joking and acting childish, and people who just didn’t seem to get it. It’s good to find reactions that mirrored mine or people who really appreciate what a masterpiece this truly is.
I was like you in this episode, crying, crying, crying... it’s so emotionally charged, it’s one of the best series I’ve seen this year... I have the luck to still have both my parents but I’m very sympathetic to all the situations of many of the characters.
I remember that I wrote about what’s being the eldest child in another video, and sometimes parents put a lot of expectations on you... also expect you to be “the” example for your younger siblings... so sometimes you become very responsible, afraid of failure and very perfectionist... so when you make mistakes you keep remembering them and punishing yourself for them... you also become very intolerant about others failures or mistakes too... so I understand and kinda empathize with Shirley... not my favorite character (Theo is) but I can’t help but feel for her because I was there in a moment of life.
I lost my brother last year in May, it was sudden & unexpected..similar to this, as we are still unsure as to if it was intentional or not. It’s 5 of us kids, just like this show.. seeing all of their relationships play out was an emotional roller coaster for me. But mostly seeing the 4 remaining siblings walking up to Nell’s casket, I had severe flashbacks..because I did the same with my siblings when it was time for us to see our brother one last time. We had to have a closed casket.. but man.. this show was sooo deep to me, in so many ways! Thank you for your sincere/emotional reactions... I truly appreciated these reviews from you!!
F'n fantastic! I absolutely love the emotion that pours out of you. I lost my mom just over 2 years ago, I was her primary care taker. I'm now looking after my dad. You are fabulous! I watching your Vikings reactions and I can hardly wait to watch your GoT reactions. Thank you for reacting.
The brothers represent the 5 stages of mourning. Steven is the "Negation", Shirley is the "Anger", Theo is the "Business", Luke is the "Depression" and Nell is the "Acceptance" So Steven did not believe in the ghosts even if he saw them, Shirley was angry with everyone, with Steven for the book, with Theo for the money and the husband, with Luke for the drugs and Nell for committing suicide. Theo as you say is in the middle and that allows the negotiation. Luke is obviously the depression and even more so after the death of Nell and Nell finally accepting the dead when he went home. Excellent show and I really like your reactions, I also cried in some scenes. Congratulations.
Wow I just binge watched all your haunting of hill house reaction videos in one night and it's now 5am lol, but I have no regrets whatsoever! I absolutely love this show and it has been such a pleasure watching your reactions (I'm a huge Theo fan as well!! And my fav episode is #3!). Your genuine emotions and narrated thought process was so great to watch, and it really brought me back to how I felt while watching this show for the first time. You've got a new subscriber! Haven't even seen any of your other vids yet, but I'm sure I'll get to watch them-- I'll just need to make sure i don't pull anymore all-nighters watching your vids haha
man this made me so happy yet emotional. love your reaction and how open you are with your emotions
My mum passed away 3 years ago on January the 7th. We also didn't get along, there was substance abuse and abuse of me and my brother during our childhood (she too had to give it all up later). She got really sick in the last half year of her life, I was far removed from caring for her so props to you for taking care of your father, I just couldn't. I did speak to her the day before she died. She was happy, I think she knew it wasn't long and was just grateful for time she had with her family over Christmas, especially my daughter who was with her on new year's eve. I asked her if I could help her with anything and she just smiled and said that it was okay. We said goodbye and that was it. Really brings home how much time you really have with the people in your life, even when you know there isn't much time left.
SITH you are by far the most honest and open reactor to this show, I have seen. You allowed yourself to be emotional and invested to the show. U loved how you express, your concerns,elation, and interpretation of scenes and situations.The fact you also let us in to your own relationships, made your reactions extremely true. So thank you, I found watching this show and you extremely cathartic. By far the best show this year.
I am sorry to hear about your father man. I saw your reaction on that part and noticed.. For the record this was the best reaction channel ever. Thank you.
Dude! I absolutely loved your watch videos for this show. I’m not a ‘series person’, but someone suggested it to me and this series touched me in a special way. I really appreciate and connected with your honest reactions and your sharing of your personal experiences.
i was thinking the same thing about Theo and her power, that she's embracing it, but i also like to think that maybe she has more control over it now? after everything that happened she is obviously much stronger as a person, she overcame her fear of intimacy, she's much more open, maybe all of that gave her strength to shut it off when she needs to, to rest take time to herself meanwhile NOT feeling weak or ashamed. i would love that for her.
thank you SO much for doing this, for sharing your honest thoughts, feelings and emotions. i'm sorry about your dad, i cant imagine how strong you are for sharing such information with us. at the same time it made me once again realise just how amazing and spectacular this show is. so many people can relate to it on an incredibly deep levels, with the family drama, personal fears and struggles and mental health issues. i've been struggling with clinical depression for half of my life now, i love and adore the twins and Theo, they mean the world to me, but even I in some ways can relate to Steve (even tho he sucks sjkzkfmwkx, jk). its just good writing man i cant believe it.
ANYWAYS, thank you so much for this and I wish you the best of holidays and happy new year.
Theo is my favorite too. This show is great and i think i will remember this for years and years.
I’m so sorry for your loss, bud. I lost my dad as well, so the scene with Hugh and Steven made me come undone. My heart goes out to you.
The love between parents and sons is a complicated one. I'm going through something similar with my mum right now. You really have to park your heart on the doorstep when you go to see them, but its only to preserve the love you have for the person they were rather than the illness that erodes them. Superb reaction to a masterpiece first season. So many deep and complex characters, such a superbly woven tapestry of a story. Thanks man.
I'm so proud of you and sorry for what you've gone through. This show must have been a literal haunting and could not have been easy to watch through during some episodes and scenes. Hope you're well, hope you're good and happy, and I wish you the best.
I know I'm a bit late to this but damn what an amazing show and THANK YOU for letting us join in on your journey. Appreciate your commentary and perspective. Great reaction my dude.
Please react to the Haunting of Bly Manor. I would love to see your reaction and I think you'd really love the show. It might be kinda slow in the beginning but it's worth it!!!
"It put on different faces so that'd we'd be still and quiet. While it digested"
Oh man im so Sorry to hear about your dad. U are great man.
This show is so emotional. Personally I felt very connected to Nell, because I also suffer from depression and have had experience with sleep paralysis. Without doubt one of the best if not the best show of the year, practically perfect in all aspects, cast, acting, script, photography, direction, soundtrack...
Other than that, it makes you reflect a lot on sensitive and serious issues.
Anyway, an excellent show and thank you for your reactions, they are the best and no doubt you deserve more views and subs.
Awesome finale bro! You reactions are the realist!
I just finished this episode and I'm a WRECK!! I've been watching reactions after each episode and yours just HIT ME IN THE FEELS!! I got choked up at all the same scenes. So very sorry about losing your parents. Your vulnerability is amazing 🖤
I still cry everytime. It's so sad but beautiful to know that Hugh stayed with his wife in the house. I've watched the season 5 different times and at first I didn't get it but then I understood it and i realized how sad this is.
Nell’s speach to her siblings got me sobbing...
Lost my mom a few years ago.. This is top 3 of all time for me. For one season?? It's damn near perfect. Much love brother.
What an absolutely amazing show. It changed from a dramatic horror show to a horrific drama show but it was an emotional rollercoaster the whole way.
I finished Hill House a couple weeks ago and it wrecked me and I just have to chime in to say thank you for your genuine open and heartfelt reactions - I cried several times with you man, including a few minutes ago lol. You're awesome 👍 And yes team Luke! I loved them all, especially Nell, but he was my baby.
I just binge watched all your reactions 😁😁 i thoroughly enjoyed all your reactions to this ahhhhmazing show 🙂
I’ve absolutely adored your reactions to this show. They are so heartfelt and relatable and I can’t wait to see your reactions to the next season if they end up making one. 💗
Steven is actually my favorite character
I just finished binge watching all of your Hill House Playlist, great reactions! Just wanted to make sure that you plan on reacting to Flanagan's Midnight Mass. It's very different but it's a masterpiece on The Hunting of Hill House's scale in its own right (And it's starring Kate Siegel too!)
Real tear jerker time this finale. So well done.
You, sir, just earned another subscriber. This is an amazing show, it stays with you long after it ends. I stumbled over your reactions here on YT and watched them all. I was in such a fucking mess after this final episode, for similar reasons to yourself. I don't think there's been a better study of grief as this show, and how it affects those left behind, for a long time. The honesty of your reactions and your emotions is a rare thing indeed. Glad to find your channel :)
I really relate to the story about your dad, I had a similar relationship with mine and he passes away just over a year ago.
I can’t believe I didn’t realise that Steve is the second Dario in Game of Thrones
I was worried you’d shut it off when things got dicey with Luke lol. Your reaction to Hugh and Steve touched me. I’m glad you were able to have a similar moment with your father. Fully agree the relatability is part of what makes me love the show. So many lines hit me deeply as well but in a cathartic way. I’m so glad it exists. And thank you for sharing your response.
good react man. nice to see real emotion and I admit I cried a few times with show too. very heavy stuff. loving your family isn't always easy but that's life. complicated
I don’t think I’ve ever watched someone react to a show but man.. your reactions are good! I actually watched all of it and man, and I don’t usually comment but you just earned a subscriber! Sorry to hear about your parents man.
Why you gotta make me cry on Christmas Eve? I really do love all of your reactions. You’re so loveable. When you’re not making me cry, you’re making me laugh with that contagious laughter of yours. Merry Christmas Sith!
I was in extreme tears after the death of Steven’s father, he was so amazing to his kids and did his best to protect his kids and now he will forever be with his wife and daughter. Probably the best show I’ve ever watched on Netflix.
Loved watching this with you! I loved how you let your emotions flow! I loved how you cried. Little Luke is so precious!! Keep up the reactions!!! 😘❤
Thanks for sharing your story too. It’s true, the show’s very relatable. Keep on going man, best wishes to you!
I stil come back and watch these reactions. Such a great show - the Shawshank of Horror.
I don't know if this has been mentioned and I don't recall where I saw it, but each of the children represent one of the 5 stages of grief.
