I have some pre scheduled videos that are coming out the next two weeks. BUT as has been widely requested I’ll be back to do reactions for EVERY episode of this so far great show. Check out my Twitter for live tweet thoughts. Cheers! twitter.com/kofiescaped
When he says “I’m gay, dad” he’s not coming out in passing, he’s reminding his dad of something he already should know but seems to have forgotten. That’s why the dad relies with “oh right, a cute guy, then”. So actually that scene wasn’t showing that he’s accepting in passing but that he forgets about significant aspects of his children’s personality. For me it means that the dad means well but is wrapped up in his own issues (later we find out he has adhd).
Honestly I personally thought it was him talking more from personal experience except, since he’s straight, he would’ve done it for a ‘cute girl’ and it almost felt like Simon was indirectly saying “I’m not like you”? I could be wrong though, idk.
This show is heavily based on the two boarding schools we have in Sweden. They have made A LOT of research there. The swedish king and the prince went to them. August and his friends look down on Simon bc he is working/middleclass ”poor”. In Sweden you can go to any school free of charge but the boarders pay a LOT to stay there.
"We can read over here" THANK YOUU!!! I've seen so many people reacting to Young Royals and Squid Game lately and they're always like "omg I can't possibly read the subtitles" and I'm like ???
Just a reminder that some people have learning disorders, or other conditions that can prevent them from being able to read and pay attention to the plot at the same time :)
@@indieoregano You're right! It's just that I notice that the people I see saying this usually have english as their first language, and as a foreigner I always found it weird how these people sometimes never watched anything with subtitles before.
Don't know if you've been recommended this series at all, or if you've watched it, but there's this Norwegian show called SKAM (there's like a ton of different versions, Belgium vers was one of my favs). The 3rd season blew up a few years ago. High school type narrative that people praise as a pretty realistic modern high school experience, and touches on like a ton of stuff (mental health, religion, even the pandemic etc). The way they released it was like clips that matched with the day and time so you felt like it was happen irl in that moment. Characters have instagram accounts that are actively used by the actors to further build the "reality" of the show. Pretty cool. So yeah! Idk why this show made me wanna mention it, but there ya go 😂
"What in the Saddle Club is going on?!" 😂😂😂 I lost it. Great throwback! Would love to see your reactions to some of the other episodes but looking forward to the finale.
I just found out you did Young Royals reaction, here's my running commentary to your reactions: You're the fastest to pick up on the singing foreshadowing Wilmar. Wow. I've watched countless reactions, less than a handful noticed the singing was the start. Kudos! For next season, use regular english subtitles, not CC. Regular is more accurate. You're so quick at noticing emotional stuff, like with Felice. I really like that. You deserve a ton of views. I laughed out loud when you said you'd be a non-boarder after the hazing scenes, thanks I needed that. I LOVE how Simon roasted those privileged *cencored*. Wilhelm did too lol but I'm 99% sure nobody has ever been frank with him like that before. Sarah and August DAMN you're a prophet man! Yeah Simon sang his way straight into Wilhelm's heart. I think he liked it because it is something real, and wilhelm is so starved of authenticity and genuine human connection in his life that when he finds it...he falls so hard so fast. Thank you for this, I really enjoyed it. Here's to you finding someone to partner up with for editing
With the fact that the boys and girls eat separately, that’s less to do with separating by gender and more to do with separating by house. So, the boys we see eating are the Forest Ridge boys, and the girls are the Major House girls but, there are other houses. It’s for convenience more than anything. Plus, since it’s a boarding school, they need to eat breakfast and dinner/tea there and it’s just much more convenient for them to stay in one building until classes rather than have them traipsing across the school.
Just getting around to watching your commentary to young royals 🥰 been busy moving 😳 and it’s Swedish!!! I had no idea!! I’m a Swedish person living in Australia so now I’ll have to watch this show and watch your videos as well. And also some Swedish people use a lot of English words when they’re talking :)
Omg I am SO happy that you reacted to this! The series is from Sweden which is where I'm from ^^ it's actually a bit weird seeing someone from USA reacting to a series in swedish lol, especially since I don't have to concentrate to understand. Regarding the booze, the minimum legal drinking age in Sweden is 18 and so Simon's dad is illegally selling alcohol to minors. Hope that helped clear some stuff up ^^
i just discovered your channel and so far, this is definitely my favorite young royals reaction. you have the exact same thoughts as me and its so fun watching you talking about everything
You have a new subscriber! Your reaction was great and I'm so happy that you're going to react to every episode. 😊 P.s. August is only going to be more annoying. 😖 P.s2: next year there comes a season 2!
You are very perceptive. You saw here so many meaningful little things which would matter all the way through the story. The writer really went crazy for details and meaning and it is delicious. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything you didn't say. For instance, you saw : W. not comfortable to be under the light, in the club. W. disapproval of royalty rules, during the statement. W. anxiety issue, during the statement. A. using people as his slaves, in the suit case holding, and for the alcohol. W. as an outsider, in the suit case picture. The school conflict of interest / authority towards royalty. A. misogynous behavior, in the marriage conversation at church. The elitist non boarding segregation. The brotherhood importance, for W. and Si. Sa. disrespectful behavior towards her mother, at Si. and Sa. meal. Sa. wanting to be more than she is, at Si. and Sa. meal. Real teenagers playing, in the school meal . Gender separation, in the school meal. Si. being a fighter, in the politic class discussion. Normalization of sexual preferences, in Si. and his dad talk. A. wanting to be more than he is, at the party. A. and Sa. being a match. W. seeing something special in Si. personality by the way he sings. The fact they hide to have a bit of privacy, at the party. Whouah I am impressed you saw all of this. This will definitively be the base for the whole story.
Hi. New to your channel. Your handsome & your skin is beautiful! What do you do to it? I came for the Young Royals reaction but I see other reactions imma need to watch. Was hoping I’d find some Heartstopper, here too! Stay awesome!
the guy interrupting the singing is one of the snobby upper class students. He is essentially dissing the singer who is one of the lower class students attending the school on a day basis---he does not live at the school. It is common for these elite boarding schools to have a number of "charity" non boarders attend.
Is doesn't have to be a good sign. This season two is 10000% a good sign but i don't know. Netflix cancelled season two of Julie and the Phantoms and this is one of the best series Netflix ever made🥺 they won so much awards and the quotes are so positive. Jahr got 98% of good reviews. So I can't understand their decision to cancel it😔 maybe the fandom will change it. We got over 100.000 signatures in just a few days so wish us luck🍀

Ahh okay, that makes sense. So the boarding is like a luxury, that certain people can afford. Good to know!
One of my favorite things is watching people who react get pissed off when August interrupts the romantic moments🤣🤣💖
He was just the worst. Let my boys live

@@indieoregano as someone with a learning disorder, this comment was unnecessary.
@@sashagray6196 I have a learning disorder myself, and sometimes I need dubs. Get over yourself.
@@indieoregano i have no issue with people needing dubs. i just hate those types of comments "just a reminder.... :)". it's always so condescending.
This show is AMAZING! It will give you a lot to talk about .....yes, in the best possible way. Enjoy it
Ohh. Now I’m even more excited to finish!
the way u kept calling august andrew pls 😭😭
That’s not his name? 🥱
I love watching people reactions to this show ❤ I really wish u could react to all the episodes and i can't wait for the season finale video 😊
I'm obsessed with this show that I keep watching everyone on YT react to it. I loved the reaction and I can’t wait to see all of your reactions :)

Great, it's been more than 24h already, you can post the next one. C'mon, don't be shy 😃
I love how over the course of the episode you progressively became more and more frustrated by August hahahah
Have you ever seen Blood & Water on Netflix? It’s another rich boarding school except it’s set in South Africa .

I love your insights!

biiiiish! put that chipmunk voice back - it gives character dammit! loooolz
Simon is spicy
Glad to hear that you're going to react to the rest of the season. I subscribed because I liked your take on this show that I love.
@PressEscapekofi there's a Season 2 of this coming out soon there is a new trailer on RUclips
I enjoyed your reaction. Please please please react to the rest of the series. You won’t be disappointed.
I love this show. Can't wait for the next season to come out. You should definitely check out and react to Julie and the phantoms, Willex is adorable
Will you be showing the rest of the episodes of young royals?🙏
Not him calling august "andrew" 💀💀
UR VOICE 🤩 lol
Thank you haha ✨
iam letting u know omar rudberg who played simon is a singer in real life
i loved your reaction plss
Yay! I’m glad!
Hi. New to your channel. Your handsome & your skin is beautiful! What do you do to it? I came for the Young Royals reaction but I see other reactions imma need to watch. Was hoping I’d find some Heartstopper, here too! Stay awesome!
Welcome! Glad to have you! Heartstopper on the way, in the future, if you guys want it? 🤗
@@KOFI_ESCAPES • I definitely want it & I’m sure others will want to see you react to that awesome show, too!
8:29 took me OUTTTTTTTT see i knew i needed to see a black person react to this show💀💀💀
Lol look. I expect better from us. You know how we do! ✨
@@KOFI_ESCAPES lmaoo yup i’ll always side eye a black character a little harder😁
Will you be reacting to Heartstopper? 😊
Yes 😇
the end was rude hahahah
Very. So abrupt 😯
the guy interrupting the singing is one of the snobby upper class students. He is essentially dissing the singer who is one of the lower class students attending the school on a day basis---he does not live at the school. It is common for these elite boarding schools to have a number of "charity" non boarders attend.
You've such amazing eyes
Thank you Sarah! 💛
Is doesn't have to be a good sign. This season two is 10000% a good sign but i don't know. Netflix cancelled season two of Julie and the Phantoms and this is one of the best series Netflix ever made🥺 they won so much awards and the quotes are so positive. Jahr got 98% of good reviews. So I can't understand their decision to cancel it😔 maybe the fandom will change it. We got over 100.000 signatures in just a few days so wish us luck🍀
