I think Stewie has the best position in the whole show when you think about it, he gets to make bank from the family and gets inside info from Kendall without having to be a part of their horrible family lol. Def my favorite side character, wish he was included more! He is so sly but still charismatic. I think the vultures hovering around the Roy family are the true winners of this whole series.
I grew up in the same town as the co-creator of Spotify here in Sweden, which is also funny enough right outside where Mattson is from in the show (Gothenburg). There are so many young founder guys like him who made millions if not billions from games/apps who then move to the US and slowly become more unhinged with money/fame. I'm a freelance artist within the game industry and every other month I hear about some new guy here who becomes millionaire overnight from their app being sold in china/US or their game going viral on steam. (Helldivers 2 most recently) I think it's probably quite overwhelming and hard to deal with going from 0-100 like that. Alexander really nails the character imo, they speak and act exactly like him. They're quite nerdy and edgy but hang out with non nerdy people as much as they can to prove they're cool (notch/Musk-ish but young and cares about fashion). Personally I think it's really awesome to see a Swedish character in tv show where the character isn't simply comic relief with a funny accent, they just happen to be from Sweden.. Plus they clearly let him be as genuinely Swedish as he can be cuz he nails it and as much of a weirdo he seems to be in the show I'm loving it. We are quite Americanized but still very sarcastic and overall hard to read, we don't show emotion much and think Americans are almost overly nice, when I was in the US the first time I was stunlocked when the cashier asked how my day was and called me Sir. AND we don't speak like the chef from muppets. (that's Norwegians 😉)
Damn yall really yapped through one of the greatest lines in the series "Your dad never met anything he didn't want to kick just to see if it would come back"
If you haven't noticed by now, there's a lot of symbolism with Kendall and water. The death he accidentally caused took place in water. In S2 opening Kendall was resting in a bath of water. When Kendall returned to the boy's house in S2, the uncle offered him water, which he accepted. When Kendall turned against Logan in the S2 finale, Karolina said, "There's water by the side if you need it". A lot of the company's crimes were committed on the water by the cruise operations. Etc.
@@universalpower419 The blemishes or sordidness of the Roy family. I think the symbolism may have started in Season 1 episode 6 where Shiv says that Logan doesn't trust water. Logan's excuse is that water is too "wishy washy" but in reality, it's because getting in the water would reveal the scars on his back ergo his unsightly past. So in a way the show has since used water to signify darkness or unsightliness of any sort in the Roy family. Beginning with Logan and the cruises and continuing to Kendall and the waiter. That's my interpretation at least.
Caroline Collingwood is one of the worst TV mothers. With the many sins of the father and their mother's lack of love and caring, there was no chance the Roy kids would have grown up with a stable mentality. The kids are nothing more than just accessories and jewelry for her.
*Sorry for the long text but just had to share this as I grew up with a narcissistic grandma very similar to Caroline but it actually had a happy ending:* My mom's mom is quite similar to her not just appearance-wise (it's uncanny) but mentally too. She was a nurse who got pregnant at 18 by my older grandpa who was a "big" ceo of a chicken company. They then got divorced a few years in and my mom grew up with mostly her dad and his future children in the south of my country while my grandma lived with another husband and his kids in the north. (She was also in a motorcycle crash at 19 and got a skull fracture maybe that played a part) She always had this attitude of being a victim and tried to guilt trip my mom her entire childhood by saying she doesn't appreciate all she has done, and long after I was born she would keep complaining that she doesn't spend as much time with her (while she was there...) but at the same time she would say the most horrible things to her and me like they were nothing. Eventually I cut her out of my life when I was 18 or so because I was in a dark place and she just kept criticizing everything about me nonstop. (being underweight, having a deadbeat dad, being a bad son, implying I'm dumb etc. My mom kept seeing her though and respected my choice, but she would try to manipulate her by making it seem like I am a horrible person who hold grudges over nothing. BUT then during COVID she actually went to a doctor and got help, she was suffering from depression and some other things too, and ever since then she's like a different person. At first I thought she was faking it but now I spend time with her every month and she's actually kind and seem happy for the first time in a long time! Also my grandpa is still kicking at like 88 with his wife and they spend Christmas together with my grandma (lots of arguments but they still do it lol)
@@Quzga thank you for sharing your experience. It's good to see there's real progress with your grandmother. Unfortunately, your experience seems all too familiar with a lot of people. When writing my initial post it made me think about friends and family members who have people like Caroline Collingwood in their lives. Her type of abuse may not be as initially severe as physical abuse but the long-term mental toll can have similar consequences as physical abuse.
13:29 exactly Chris. Kendall seems to understand Logan best yet when it mattered he read him wrong…again! All he had to do was pretend to be sad about getting bought out
It's so funny to see you guys gloss over the final scene when it sent the internet into meltdown. The New Yorker profile came out and Jeremy Strong was everywhere. A crazy time
Kendall is the Zagreus to Logan's Hades. He wants to escape the underworld and live a normal life but has to use his father's creations to do it so he feels complicit either way and always ends up being dragged back down the closer to the surface he gets. Yes I am playing Hades 2 right now..
@@chaost4544 One of my all time favorite games as someone who loves greek mythology and gaming! The second one is great too while managing to be really different!
I can't play Hades 2 yet because I don't have a PC. But the first Hades game is probably my favorite game of the 2020s so far. I can't wait to play Hades 2
@@highwind1991 Oh yeah! I'm playing Hades 2 right now , 100 hours in and I'm amazed how much content it has for being such early access already. Such great games, I wish all studios put in as much care and passion. Enjoy!😆
5:47 "I didn't really like this dress, you guys like it?" Nikki that was so innocent, I nearly died laughing. Some of the best scenes in the show are in this episode. Shiv's deepest emotional wounds come from how her mother projects her self-hatred onto her. Kendall claims not to want to be his father but his deepest wish is to be that but he just... isn't and they both know it.
Logan is one of the worst manipulators in TV history beside Walter white maybe He constantly making kendall and his siblings feel like they're useless and unable to add anything to the company and when Kendall accepted that he will never have it and just wanted to be out of all this logan refuses and start to shame him for his mistakes making kendall feel like he will never be able to live without his father so he can go back to Logan and feel useless again
They have no clue what's going on half the time, so not a surprise. They never shut up during important dialogue and it has an obvious effect. It's night and day watching Blind Wave's reactions by comparison. They actually pay attention and aren't constantly confused. Weird how that works.
Hey question season 6 of the dragon prince just dropped so I was wondering if you guys are going to react to season 5 and 6 to catch up. Both season are great by the way.
guys need you to get through the left episodes much faster cause shit is about to get real and I really would love to see you react to that. watching you guys react is like rewatching the whole series but with friends.
"This is what billionaires should be doing" Drown in the pool? I mean, Im not saying im all for the concept of billionaires existing, I just wasnt expecting such candid sociopolitical commentary on this channel.
Tom and Shiv made me cringe hard. The series starts in the middle of their relationship so, it's difficult to understand why they are even together. I feel like Shiv is one of those rebellious girls who does things just to spite her parents. Introduce Tom to the family to get a reaction from Logan, have a kid to get a reaction from her mom, etc.
Team Kendall.... have I said it's over already? Its over-over. Also, there are these constant motifs of Kendall and water, I had theories on what Kendall's relationship with water represents but I would like to know what you think it means?
I've never thought about that actually! I wonder if the water is a metaphor for his addiction feeling like it's drowning him or sweeping in to take him away? He's fighting the water/currents? Sometimes he just wants to give in, or maybe I'm reaching. ALSO: self aware kendall is best kendall.
@@bigpictureguys8415 I don't remember that happening. Water was mentioned earlier in season 1 episode 7 with Logan so it may be a Roy family symbolism.

I feel like you guys aren’t quite talking over enough of the dialogue. You need to have a few more arguments while the show is going on. Get that down to like 40% paying attention.
@@St.Severus Well, for example, they had a random pointless discussion over the last part of the conversation with Shiv and her mom which includes one of the best insights into Logan's relationship with his kids, that he never saw anything he loved that he didn't want to kick it just to see if it would come back. It's really not that big of a deal, but since you seem to take great offense to it, for some unbeknownst reason and feel it's your responsibility to defend their honor, I will elaborate. I think maybe the stupidest comment in response to people that would prefer that reactors actually pay attention to the show they're watching is "well it is a REACTION channel." Like do you actually think the rest of us want to just watch them sit there silently and stone-faced?? That's your only rebuttal?? That it must be all or nothing? Because that's the only way to defend your wannabe friends... To make up a straw man that we must just want them to do absolutely nothing at all. If I'm an infant, you're a complete moron. If you think that you made some kind of great point there. Good god.
@@St.Severus If you must know, for example: "He never saw anything he loved that he didn't want to kick it to see if it would still come back."

I grew up in the same town as the co-creator of Spotify here in Sweden, which is also funny enough right outside where Mattson is from in the show (Gothenburg). There are so many young founder guys like him who made millions if not billions from games/apps who then move to the US and slowly become more unhinged with money/fame.
I'm a freelance artist within the game industry and every other month I hear about some new guy here who becomes millionaire overnight from their app being sold in china/US or their game going viral on steam. (Helldivers 2 most recently) I think it's probably quite overwhelming and hard to deal with going from 0-100 like that.
Alexander really nails the character imo, they speak and act exactly like him. They're quite nerdy and edgy but hang out with non nerdy people as much as they can to prove they're cool (notch/Musk-ish but young and cares about fashion).
Personally I think it's really awesome to see a Swedish character in tv show where the character isn't simply comic relief with a funny accent, they just happen to be from Sweden.. Plus they clearly let him be as genuinely Swedish as he can be cuz he nails it and as much of a weirdo he seems to be in the show I'm loving it.
We are quite Americanized but still very sarcastic and overall hard to read, we don't show emotion much and think Americans are almost overly nice, when I was in the US the first time I was stunlocked when the cashier asked how my day was and called me Sir. AND we don't speak like the chef from muppets. (that's Norwegians 😉)
