Oh what no Peaky Blinders? 😢
OMG thank you! I can't wait for The Wire. I think you're going to have a great time with the reviews.
Has Neon Genesis Evangelion ever show up in a poll before?
MONSTER
The thing about the Wire is it didn't age well. It was fascinating at the time it aired, but don't think nowadays Big cities would put all that effort in solving crime and catching criminals at this level. It's all about defunding the police. Even the change of pace season that deals with the issue of 'unions' seems kind of dated. But definitely worth watching at least once.
Hi sorry this is really off topic from this poll but does anyone know if they're planning on starting Stranger Things up again? I know in their ranking video they said they planned to continue but I wasn't sure if that meant on their own time or during reactions 😅
SpyxFamily you two need some wholesome comedy! :)
Absolutely agree!!
Please react to Kimetsu no Yaiba: Demon Slayer, a great anime with one of the best animation ever, I'm sure you will love it. You should watch One Piece, I know it has so many episodes but really it's worth it, once you finish HH you'll see the number of episodes it's not a big deal
Demon Slayer is the perfect amount of episodes, like less than 50. One Piece has over 1000, it's the best. Their loss but 2 episodes a week isn't going to cut it for OP. Demon slayer is so f'ing good. I was wondering why their manga was selling so much, I was only familiar with the first two seasons. But what was going one was basically Avengers Endgame type stuff with an 80 percent casualty rate. I think they're going to have to release a few theatrical movies for upcoming arcs. I definitely see a billion and a half in worldwide gross if it's at least two movies. (Infinity train made 500 million worldwide) Of course, they still need to release TV series too. But the beginning where Muzan appears, and the very end of DS should be theatrical films.
Why is Fargo always so underrated? It's amazingly well written and never too heavy. I'd put it a smidge behind Mr. Robot and Attack on Titan but seasons 1-3 are absolutely perfect. Plus it is an anthology series so every 10 episodes you get a new cast, setting, etc. although they tie into each other a bit.
Fargo's a good call. I'd like that on the next poll
i would love if you'd watch Violet Evergarden 🥺 +a reaction for all one piece openings, just the openings, so maybe in the very far future you'd give it a go, and by then you would forget about the openings (there are enough openings for a reaction, trust me, these gains a lot of views) pretty plleassse girls!! just the openings! i'd die to see your reaction to them😭😭😭
I strongly support they reacting to the One Piece Openings! Nice idea!!
I hope you add succession since it's ending soon
Saw another comment saying Lola watches it already in her own time.
MadMen is One of the modern great shows That nobody has reacted to... maybe You could consider for Next time.Knowing You i think You would Love it 😎💐 The wire is great too. LFG
are they going to watch shadow and bone season 2?
i'm excited for the Wire
Man, they would love Black Sails, maybe one day.... :(
Not as long as they place extremely known shows on the polling lists beside Black sails sadly. For example someone here suggested Tge Sopranos which is very good but it’s also not a fair thing to place with Black sails as then the same thing as now would happen and there are many other really known shows that would have the same affect. Don’t keep your hopes up ok definitely not.
Question: For the next anime poll, do we want to take only anime with female main characters? I just have to think about the Vinland Saga Reaction, where Lola and Milena discussed seeing more male and boy filled shows on the channel. I think it would be cool to bring some variety in here. With Violet Evergarden, A Place Further Than The Universe and Moribito, I can think of 3 that they would enjoy.
they should react to steins gate, its basically 1 dude + 2 female main characters. its also nearly the only non-shounen among all the popular animes
You come at the king, you best not miss.
hope they react to Barry someday
Narutooooo
I believe one day The Sopranos will be in one of these polls... DOOON'T STOP, BELIEEEEVIN'
I’ve been planning on trying to watch The Wire again, so I’ll pick that.
I hope one day Succession will be on here
one of them has already seen it
I’m still hoping to see Stien’s Gate
I haven't seen any of these, so I'll be interested. Just happy there's no anime on the voting list, because anime sucks. (Personal opinion before any anime-fanatics freak out)
Off you go
Damn why is the Last Kingdom so low? Its such a great show. Alexander Dreymon and David Dawson killed it
I'll shift my vote to the Last Kingdom for ya, because I haven't seen either 3 of these series - my vote is up for grabs. Got your back now.
OMG, The Wire... is this real!?! The best show that almost no one reacts to!
Fitting cuz it's following Mr. Robot. The other GOATed but underreacted show
The entire LM Reactions community right now: https://imgur.io/gallery/AwWzeTG
I voted the wire and haven't seen the other shows but when it comes to classic great shows I think mad men would be more to your liking.
I've heard a lot of good things about Mad Men. But if it doesn't end with the line "The real Mad Men were the friends we made along the way" I'll be severely disappointed.
Black Sails is so incredible and few people know it. Can't argue with people voting The Wire though, one of the best shows ever.
Same !
United States Of tara is an amazing show also
I agree with the "Barry" suggestions, great show. Leftovers is also tremendous. Season 1 is quite slow but it gets much, much better. A show that much lighter viewing -- "Nathan For You" If you're at all into cringe/awkward comedy.
they've seen leftovers in their personal time they said
More HxH lol
By the way, are we getting Mr. Robot as a 2 episode special or are you going to space them apart?
Wow someone with The Wirr on their list 😎
I was hoping for The Sopranos, the greatest show of all time.
My Top 3 are Breaking Bad, The Wire, and Sopranos. I'll vote Sopranos for you next time, brotha.
Mr Robot then The Wire? Greatest reaction run that includes two of my top 5.
i personally wanna see more adoption papers signed, so im praying for Haikyuu!! But for now, The wire will have to do.
The Wire is up there with True Detective S1 but it's a long series and can be a bit slow
I mean they loved the early season sof BCS and many poeple say they are a bit to slow
I haven't seen any of em but will likely watch The Wire at some point. Ngl, the comment sections of these polls are easily the most entertaining of the bunch
I'd love to watch Barry alongside you girls. High on my wishlist. Maybe next time.
Sigh. Someday, Black Sails. Someday 🥲
not sure when the anime poll is but JJK PLSSSSSSS!!!!!
IMO the main point in JJK's favor is its well-developed female characters which in anime isn't the most common thing. I'm sure they'd appreciate that. However I do think that they may only like but not love it, I think the first season is uneven story and pacing wise. I think its tone varying so wildly doesn't quite work as well as it does in something like FMAB, but it has lots of cool stuff– I just don't know if it's the type of thing that they'd be super into or not. I could be wrong, we'll see!
Is it possible for you to watch Barry someday ? a great show from HBO the last season will be soon on TV
From that list of shows The Wires is the clear favorite. But is it right from them. I'd say one of the top modern drama TV shows. Think Sporanos or even Mad men could be more univeral reaction material if they're viewing 'top modern TV dramas'. They actually watched all four seasons of Mr Robot so they have high tolerance for completing even mediocre shows. I watched first two seasons of Mr Robot, took a while to get through season two. I'm sure that last two were okay, but they really had extremely low ratings, so tough to have popular reaction if no one familiar with it.
Are you just talking out of your ass right now? You do know that season 4 of Mr. Robot has the highest ratings out of all the seasons right? And season 3 is almost the same.
Black Sails is a legitimate masterpiece and its so unknown/underrated.
To be fair a few react channels have done Black Sails (Blind Wave, Normies, Nikki & Steven, Jimmy Macram) and not many have done The Wire, maybe just the Normies. Still I am a little bummed that Black Sails is going to lose out to the Wire here.
When the wire wins, it'll be a nice return to them going "jimmy, my boy!"
Choosing between Black Sails and Last Kingdom is a tough choice for me. Hope y'all do both eventually!
Yes for the Wire! I'd love Mad Men on a future list as well.
THE WIRE LET'S GOOOOOOO
Wow. The Wire. For my money the best show ever created. Then Sons of Anarchy and Mad Men. SOPRANOS and GOT. And The expanse
Black Sails is more interesting than those shows IMHO
Don't get me wrong I did love the wire but The Last Kingdom where it's at for me. I think overall especially to react to it would be much more enjoyable and fast paced. It also much less know and always a bit sad it dosent have the recognition it deserves!
didnt expect to see the wire on here but happy to start it. wonder if they would ever do more prestige tv from that era like mad men or sopranos
OH HELL YEAH THE WIRE LET'S GO BABYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
The Wire is amazing
just to know, is there any estimate to when the next anime poll should be?
Black Sails shouldn't have to win a second poll after this ... you should just add it to your reactions as soon as a slot opens.
I hope that’s what happens - I’d been hoping for that to happen this time too though. 😩
Personally i've always found The Wire extremely overrated. I'm not saying it's bad or anything it is still a decent show in it's own right. But i've never understood how some put it up there with shows like Breaking Bad. My vote goes to Black Sails, very underrated and under appreciated, amazing writing and characters.
Bizarre take. Breaking bad is the overrated show. A couple really amazing acting performances and the rest forgettable throw away characters. The Wire is much more interesting and a much more expansive and detailed story. It has a dozen interesting and layered characters, not just 2 or 3.
Said it in another comment, but The Wire is very famous while the other two are more underrated gems (like Mr. Robot). So it’s a bit like…’choose your favorite artist out of these three’ but one of the artists listed is Vincent Van Gogh while the other two haven’t been heard of. It’s nothing against Gogh or about the quality of any of the artists involved. But Van Gogh would still win every time, because that’s the one people have heard of. Ah well. I’m trying to be happy for those really excited for The Wire, and LM will probably like it.
You've cursed it, Black Sails gonna lose to Van Gogh in the next poll now
Honestly Ted Lasso would be the perfect reaction show. As much as I love the Wire its not something they would enjoy reacting to IMO...but I guess we will find out lol
You will 100% love Black Sails.
Not gonna lie of course The Wire is incredible but having seen all 3 shows I really think Black Sails and even TLK would be much more up LM’s alley and better for reactions. Yes I’m biased because Black Sails is in my top 5 shows of all time and it’s only 38 episodes.
The Wire is amazing, would be an interest choice.
Not gonna lie wasn't expecting a poll but rather the s2 of Shadow & Bones. Have you dropped it? watched it on your own?
we weren’t gonna do a poll, its replacing the last of us, we didnt have time to film it before
Mr. Robot on sunday means no Mr. Robot today and tomorrow, correct?
yes. next Mr Robot on Sunday. we might get both final episodes if we're lucky (probably not though)
RIP Black Sails. Maybe next time
First person to reply to my comment one of the options, I'll vote on. As I have not watched any of these lol
The Black Kingdom
Okay, here’s my pitch for Black Sails for anyone who is voting and maybe hasn’t seen any of these shows. To begin with, Black Sails is only four seasons, so it’s shorter. It’s often compared to Game of Thrones, as it was coming out at the name time, but they aren’t really all that similar aside from in vague terms. (For one thing, Black Sails isn’t fantasy). Though, Both have very complex characters who often do terrible things. Both deal with the ramifications of leadership and politics for where the characters live. And both have a lot of really great actors. However, in my opinion Black Sails ultimately tells its story in a much better way. It’s writing is gorgeous - there isn’t a character on the show who doesn’t at least get one good monologue. The themes it explores would give way to a lot of discussion - it’s not another show that just takes place in the U.S. and deals specifically with its issues: Black Sails is set in the 1700s and was primarily filmed on location in South Africa. It has amazing practical effects including actual ships that were built for the actors to walk on. Okay, and this last bit is in ROT13, it’s a vague spoilers that doesn’t name who it involves or when, but IS something LM and a lot of people in this community would be interested in. The series cerggl tnl, obgu yvgrenyyl naq gurzngvpnyyl, jvgu zhygvcyr aba fgenvtug znva punenpgref.
Rip Black Sails.
None of these shows interest me, so I've thrown Black Sails a pity vote. It looks like The Wire will win, though.
I usually watch anime but "the wire" is one of the few tv shows I've watched lol so it'd be cool to see it.
Wire is great tv show, but it isn't anywhere near as interesting for reaction videos as Black Sails.
It's such a slow burn
Hoping the wire wins. It’s one of the best TV shows ever.
Out of these three, The Wire is probably the best show, as it is widely regarded as on of the best of all time. That said, I hope you consider wachting Black Sails soon after. It has amazing writing and characters and I'm sure you girls will love it.
Haven't seen The Wire so I'm glad I'll have a great excuse to finally see what the hype is about. Hopefully Black Sails wins next time...
Last kingdom because of its pace and your love for Vikings.
Aw man I was really hoping you guys would just go into Black Sails since it was second in the poll last time. It’ll never win against The Wire. :( Oh well, maybe someday.
When you girls make a new anime poll, please include One Piece and Bleach!
I'm pretty sure at least one of them already watched Bleach back in the day, and One Piece is way too long. 2 One Piece episodes a week would take over 10 years to catch up LMAO
The Wire!
I know it's not on the list but I highly recommend The Peripheral on amazon prime. It's a really great sci-fi show and the first season only has 8 episodes.
Oml, the wire, lets goooo !
YES the Wire
Never expected The Wire to be on here wow
Black Sails always the underdog... One day Black Sails! Your time will come. Probably my favourite live action tv show of all time!
Big brain reactors watching Big brain show the wire I cannot believe it, it's like the universe is giving me something that i never knew I needed You'll be the best reactors to the wire ever and it won't be even close (I love the normies too but they are no match)
I also love the Normies but I didn't want to listen to them seriously discuss The Wire for 60 episodes. This is actually gonna be so fun!
Dark
Barry
How about.. Ted Lasso?
According to their tv time accounts, they have both seen a good chunk of Ted Lasso
Honestly idk any of these shows 😂 I'll gladly participate in the next anime one
The Last Kingdom minority over here. It would be so great to go through all of Uthred’s hardship and sacrifice.
That show is good but can’t compare in greatness with the other options.
Couldn't find the 4x hxh p/w option 😅
The Wire is such an amazing show.
Guess I'm gonna have to try and watch the Wire with you guys live. I tried getting into that show at least five times and I just couldn't do it for some reason. Doesn't help that I ran into a few major spoilers, either...On a sidenote, I feel like Barry should really be on this poll bro.
Same, this will be my first time through the show. All my friends say it's incredible and I love the other "best shows" from that era of prestige TV so I'm excited
The Wire is a big surprise. What a masterpiece that show is.
well, there goes another chance for black sails 💀 are you planning on watching another short one now that you've finished the last of us?
I think Shadow and Bone is gonna take that slot.
For me, watching you react to The Wire, bringing to it your intelligence, attention to detail, empathy, understanding of human desires, motives, fears, ..., I mean, this would just be, chef's kiss, so deeply satisfying to see. Character drives all.
Couldn't agree more. The Wire is a perfect show for them.
Dang I feel like you ladies would love Black Sails but the Wire is too good to pass up voting for. I voted the wire, maybe Black Sails someday.
Or never?
YES THE WIREE!!!!!!!
It has to be The Wire but sad For All Mankind isn't in the poll. Maybe next time.
I'm dead, this is the funniest possible outcome. The Wire completely out of nowhere! I'm still manifesting Mad Men next time, maybe we can do The Sopranos too. RIP Black Sails fans I'm praying for you tonight
Prayers won’t help us only kidnapping the phones of all the Wire voters and changing the vote can save us now. Unlikely sadly.
does anyone know if the girls said anything about Shadow & Bone S2?
we’ll start it next week
Voted for The Wire. Would love to see For All Mankind on a poll someday, too!
I mean I understand why you would do that but I don’t respect it.
The Wire is so good that a sitting president (Obama) invited the creator of the show to the White House and interviewed him personally. Obama called The Wire one of the greatest pieces of - not television - but art created over the last few decades.
Sadly Black Sails will never win.. never stood a chance against the wire
I predicted this outcome in the latest The Last of Us comment section. I hate when my fears come true.
So just to be clear: you're still reacting to Severance seeing as how it's not in the poll but you mentioned this in one of your Mr. Robot reactions? It was the best new show of 2022 and Season 2 is coming out later this year.
we will when we know the release date of season 2 so that we dont have to make a break between the seasons
Black sails is so underrated and flint is a god tier charecter
Curious how they’ll take to him whenever they do watch the show. I imagine he’ll be an Askeladd type character (for Vinland Saga ppl) where Lola will love him and Milena will appreciate but not quite love him. Anne is my best bet for their favorite character
Alright whose dick do I have to suck to get Black Sails to win a poll.
Yeah, that's just bad luck. Black Sails would have won against most, but the Wire is like putting Breaking Bad on a poll. I miss Silver and them, too :<
Hoping for Black Sails (well, really hoping for something not on the poll yet but maybe next time) but I think I know what will win
We are never getting Black sails and it’s criminal. Such a good show not getting the attention it deserves but ofc putting The Wire in the poll makes things unfair for the others. YEAH I AM SALTY OVER THIS.
Ow, I thought Black Sails would have it clean, but The Wire is a death sentence. Mr Robot couldn't have won against the wire lmao
Thought the exact same, hahah
I know it's not on the list but as another commentor said: I also recommed Andor.
One day Black Sails. One day.
The Wire is a show that 100% lives up to it's hype and reputation. Truly one of the greatest American TV shows of all time.
Black sails is such an underrated gem. The first season is a little rough, because I think it tries too hard to be “edgy” and “game of thrones,” but it gets its writing and character chops solidly down in season 2 and it’s one of my favorite sleeper shows! We also just finished Mr. Robot, so I kinda want a break from a technology-driven drama
Black Sails is mad underrated.. Overall better than GoT "according to me"... The Wire is great too...
The wire is awesome
I recommend Andor. It’s a masterpiece y’all would love it!
If they do that instead of Black Sails next I will riot.
THE WIREEEEE OMG YES
