Schedule for this week

Definitely recommend The Last Kingdom, Vikings show

Have you ever watched or considered watching a K-Drama? Really liked extraordinary attorney Woo for example. Any K-Drama watchers here in the comments?

Please consider One piece live action <3

Not sure if anyone else has recommended it, but since you mentioned wanting more shows focused more on women I can't recommend love is war: Kaguya Sama enough. Really funny and super super sweet high school rom-com. One of my all time favorite shows

for your new show, I would highly recommend, Ether The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon, or the Live action One Piece on Netflix.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is amazingly good at making you feel ALL the emotions.

I feel like you are pretty much only watching darks shows right now, so maybe something light-hearted like Spy x Family or Kaguya Sama

I totally forgot about True Detective Season 1, great 8 episode series that make for a great reaction!

The Queen’s Gambit, while you decide on your next, longer, commitment.

It would be good to continue the run you have had with BB, BCS, Mr Robot and The Wire. I would strongly rcommend Lost, Boss, or Startup to continue with quality drama/thriller shows.

code geass or akame ga kill !!! you would love

Fruits Basket

If you're looking for a quick show till you find something... Reacher on Prime. The character relationships are amazing and it's dialogue over action. Gen V on Prime. No spoilers but this show will have an impact or season 4 or The Boys. For something longer Banshee (4 seasons) is a hidden gem of a show and has a lot of faces you'd recognise from other shows.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Blue Eye Samuraiiiiiii!!!!

Black sails all the way. I'd bet I would make it at least 2 days as a pirate, bet.

Vouching for Black Sails recommendations

you’re watching the sopranos next right?

im a little surprised no one here has recommended Black Sails or The Sopranos. Im not a mentalist or anything but I'd say Lola is probably gonna pick this one judging by her comments.

You should want Jujutsu kaisen or sword art online

Secret City Main Cast is Anna Torv who played Tess in the Last of US Because you asked how the could make the profile in The Wire about the "Serial Killer" Manhunt: Unabomber (run for 2 Seasons 18 episodes) Mindhunter (also 2 Season 19 episodes) Also with Anna Torv in a main role The last two depict the creation of Profiling Criminals

If it’s going to a poll instead of us just getting Black Sails at long long long last, then I would also like to add 12 monkeys in there. Those 2 are the nearest to perfect shows as it gets, and they both just slip right under everyone’s radar.

Throwing in another vote for Black Sails just in case. You guys would love it!

I think you guys would love Black Sails

Surprise us

Frieren for sure!

Since you loved Violet Evergarden so much, then I highly recommend "To Your Eternity" since people who love VE usually end up loving TYE (but please don't read the summary)

I recommend the One Piece live action. It's only 8 episodes. You get the best of both worlds. It really impressed non-anime fans about the series. (The anime/manga is even better than HxH, IMHO. both my top 3 or 4) Also the used the cancelled Black Sails set and refurbished the ships. So that should satisfy them for another series. The GOAT series that you should eventually watch is 'The Sopranos'. But One Piece live action could be a good appetizer.

The God Father of Harlem

I pray to every god that Black sails is included and wins.

Haikyuu or Demon Slayer PLEASE!!!

Haikyuu please! The character(s) development on that show would be perfect for your reactions lol!

Barry or sopranos ?

Please consider ANDOR

Are Twin Peaks reactions impossible due to copyright ? Otherwise that's what I would recommend.

Sopranos, Barry, Fargo the TV series Seasons 1-3. All would make for great reactions!

The last kingdom on netflix you wont regret

If you haven’t seen the sopranos yet I’m amazed. It’s THE piece of American television of the last 30 years.

I would shit if you guys reacted to Orphan Black or Haikyuu tbh. Both shows are so, so good.

The sopranos is so good and you guys would be very surprised I think.

It has to be sopranos. You cant review the wire and not sopranos and vice versa lol its youtube/patreon law

You need another anime for the week.

Sopranos or Succession

Sopranos. Christopher was born to be a my boy

Watch the sopranos please, another masterpiece from HBO

After violet please check link click it’s not long and has great story

Haikyuuuuu!!!! Or classroom of the elite if you want something that’s not as long

The streets are saying it should be Mad Men.

Poll for more HxH??

Black Sails would be a great show for you to react to.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet but please watch The Boys spinoff Gen V. It ties directly into the next season of the boys and it's only 8 episodes.

cathedral of the sea

Oh right I heard that in January 2024 True Detective season 4 is gonna be airing! And it has Jodie Foster! I don't even remember when was the last time I saw her in a movie or series. If you want a short live-action show to fill in the slot of tfothu in the future then I strongly recommend it. I know you girls have watched True Detective season 1 so you must have known that every season is an independent story.

Jujutsu Kaisen.

Well, I haven't watched many live-action shows so I'm just gonna root for the ones I've watched: For All Mankind and Fargo! They really don't get enough credit for how good they are. Besides, from what I've heard, the current airing season 4 is the ending season of For All Mankind, so it's the perfect time for you to get into it. And Fargo's every season is an independent story so there will be no pressure "finishing" it.

Frieren is the best choice if y'all wanna do another anime imo (I'm seeing Kaguya-sama and Pluto being mentioned and I support those too) but yeah I also totally get wanting to do another live action as there's a lot of anime on the channel right now. And tbh I'm struggling to think of live action shows to recommend. I do really love Fargo and Barry but I'm not sure those would be 100% your thing (I think you'd still like them though). Also kinda random and completely different but if y'all haven't seen Freaks and Geeks that's a great one.

Can you anime fans chill? Some of us have subscribed specifically for the non anime stuff. I loved Vinland Saga but the other shows haven't done it for me and now you're all wanting an anime live action show to take over a non anime slot...Let's choose from one of the many many other great shows instead please

So many people in the comments basically wanting them to turn the channel into 100% anime reactions. Cmon folks, leave the non-anime viewers amongst us at least one live-action slot (and a live-action version of an anime show doesn’t count btw) 😂

PLEASE GIRLS PLEASE WATCH *PLUTO* YOU GIRLS GONNA LOVE IT, ITS YOUR TYPE OF SHOW.

One piece live action!!

if you're looking for shorter shows, I recommend blue eye samurai. One of the best animations you'll ever see with a pretty compelling narrative. Only 8 eps

True Detective, Season 1.

Not many seem to be mentioning it so i'll throw in support for Barry. And for an anime, Monster would be the clear choice imo

Just passing by to join the choir asking for One Piece live action

I realise this will never get picked as a show to react to on the channel because of being kinda lesser known and in Italian but you should watch My Brilliant Friend in your own time. It's one of the best written shows I've watched and think you both would love it

haikyuu, steins gate, nana

Standing on the Black Sails hill until I die. I think it would be such a cool change of pace compared to the shows they've been watching recently. I feel like The Sopranos and Mad Men, while I know they'd love those shows and I do as well, fall in a similar vein to BB, BCS, The Wire, even Mr. Robot. I think, like The Expanse, Black Sails would be a really refreshing show and they would obviously love it as well. Mad Men and The Sopranos are also over twice the length of Black Sails which is another thing to keep in mind. Black Sails would be finished in 19 weeks with 2 a week. Sopranos 43 weeks and Mad Men 46 weeks.

One Piece Live-Action will be the best because it's only 8 episodes and you will end it right in time for the Avatar Live-Action Netflix series.

I might be alone with this take but I think instead of a new show 3 episodes of hxh a week would be amazing

86 has got to at least make it on the poll it would be perfect for you two!!

While I would love if it ends up being Black Sails for all the reasons other commenters have recommended it. It's got everything you girls seem to love in a show and have mentioned considering it in the past. However I'll recommend two of my favorite shows of the past few years that get no love despite being incredible Station Eleven and Silo. I haven't really seen any reaction content for either and it's a shame because I think both are worthy of exploring. I think the compelling characters and rich themes go along with stories that would really interest you girls. Just my two cents.

There’s one reaction channel that averaged 40k for Sopranos. This channel will get double easily

I'll throw out The Good Place. Yall mentioned something a little more light and I think this would provide that while still having interesting discussions. Don't know if it fits exactly what you normally do but I think it'd be really good.

Most people have probably not noticed: The show that is supposed to replace The Wire is supposed to be a live action show, not an anime. Only in June or July, after HxH and Ranking of Kings, will we get the chance to push new anime shows. At the moment it will probably be something between Mad Men, Ted Laso, Sopranos, Black Sails, The Last Kingdom, For All Mankind, Narcos, Barry and Fargo. Haikyuu and Monster will probably fight for the place after HxH, maybe Spy x Family, Fruits Basket or Steins Gate (please don't...) will join them. Mushishi, Natsume or Naruto in the Oceaniz Cut (approx. 90 episodes) would be a surprise. And the anime after Ranking of Kings is somehow still completely open. I see a lot of possible options here: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Eighty Six, Odd Taxi, Your Lie in April, Ping Pong the Animation, Pluto, Berserk 1997, Tatami Galaxy, A Place Further than the Universe, The Promised Neverlands (Only Season 1), Banana Fish, Rainbow Nisha, Vivy, Usagi Drop, Cowboy Bebop, Psycho Pass (Season 1), Parasyte, Erased, ... Very many... Maybe after Ranking of Kings we could take the chance to remove a few popular anime movies from the list, like Silent Voice, Your Name, Spirit Away, Wolf Children, Grave of the Fireflies. Would be like 2 months with anime movies.

pls do a poll, i recommend the One Piece live-action which is only 8 episodes

I don’t know why are people recommending anime when it’s the live action show slot that is getting a poll lol you silly people. I will be honest.. I’m down for the following three: True Detective (Season 1), The Sopranos or Black Sails. I haven’t watched Black Sails but I’ve been reading the comments and it seems like a great show so I’m willing to give it a chance.

For anime reactions, I again recommend "Oshi no Ko" (please, forgive my insistence ) if you're looking for another emotional and psychological rollercoaster drama with great storytelling. It's just 11 episodes and offers some interesting commentary on today's society. Alternatively, "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War" is a great choice for a heartwarming romantic comedy. Both are from the same mangaka and are slightly related as they share the same universe. They both have awesome characters.

I have to recommend FARGO for a series. It is a hugely slept on series. Loosely related to the 1996 movie (which imo is a must watch before), each season of Fargo is a totally different story (so you don't need to feel pressured to watch it all) and they're all fantastic. It is now on its 5th season.

Frieren Beyond Journey's End plzz <3

Haikyuu you will love it

All the folks wanting Black Sails is making me want The Sopranos, which is a better show anyway.

You haven't asked for it but here's my tuppence on which show you could watch next based on the very little I know of your viewing preferences and sentiments. The Sopranos is a great show - one of the absolute very best shows of all time. You should watch it at some point. It's a long show to digest (minimum 13 episodes per season; the final season has 21 episodes) and it uses the traditionally episodic TV structure - unlike The Wire which is more akin to a novel with chapters. It's a big time investment but a rewarding experience. After watching The Wire you may be seeking a change of pace and not immediately want to dive into another show which explores the criminal class. I think Mad Men would be a great show for you to watch and analyse. It's definitely a change of pace and has a more compelling cast of characters in my opinion. The show creator was one of the main writers and producers for The Sopranos. It's a superb show and I'm sure you'll enjoy reacting to it but The Sopranos would probably gain you more subscribers due to its popularity. Maybe that's another variable you'll consider. Black Sails. I don't know anything about this show at all but it's very popular judging by the comments I see under The Wire reactions and it's rated highly elsewhere. So it looks like you have at least three excellent options to choose from so "even if [you] miss, [you] can't miss" to paraphrase Omar's words to Brother Mouzone. 😁

Black Sails please!!

New show - Pluto! Or Monster

Haikyuu pls

I vote for "Barry"! Short, sweet, and fully complete! But if we're talking longer shows, "Black Sails" is my most anticipated!

Some lord of the rings action while you decide on new show? 😏😏

Do not mind if you skip the last episode of the wire so it never has to end and you can make up only happy futures for the characters in your minds. If not happy to join you for another weeping festival. You are both the best.

Can't believe you're finishing the wire already and i still in s1. i hate not having time to watch the show and the reactions 💀

Have you consider watch the Netflix One Piece Live Action. Is just 8 episodes and it was great.

Let democracy decide

One piece live action, or Haikyuu

I really wish you guys would react to Haikyuu but I would rather you guys react to Haikyuu 2-3 times a week rather than just once so I will wait for when HxH ends and when you guys have enough time for it 😔 I think Haikyuu was made for people like you two who love connecting with characters and their emotional moments plus it's SUPER HYPED!!!!!! I can already picture you guys crying and cheering with joy! You guys need happy tears after all the heartaches from other shows 😂 🙏

One Piece live action would be amazing! It’s a fun show!!

Never typed a message to you ladies in the comment, but I have wondered for so long why you never tried haikyuu yet, it literally is an anime made for the both of you, you would love it sooo much. I am shocked I have seen nobody recommend it yet. I know both of you would be so intrigued and affected by the characters and development.

Another recommendation for Mad Men here. It is so perfect for you.

One Piece (Live Action) please?

Sorry to be a broken record but please consider For All Mankind - great story, fantastic characters, excellent production values!

Mad Men was for a reason always battling it out with Breaking Bad at the Emmys all those years

fingers crossed for mad men! theres really not many long running prestige tv shows now that most new shows are 8eps a season that each take 2-3 years to produce

Really looking forward to the last episode of The Wire! Can't wait to see what you have to say. And, as I have been, I'm going to post about why I think Black Sails should be the next reaction series. I'm hoping it will kind of just get picked since it keeps coming in second in the polls, but even if there is a poll I hope this post will encourage people to vote for it. Black Sails is about Pirates (and those interacting with them) during the Golden Age of Piracy, but thematically it is about much more than that. I think the biggest question it asks is: What is civilization, and what does it mean to survive under it for those that it marginalizes? That of course is on top of it telling an exciting and gripping story with a big ensemble cast of characters (including some really great female characters btw). I can't rave enough about the writing itself - there are so many impactful moments of dialogue and storytelling that ties into previous moments and continues to build upon itself as it goes on. The acting is excellent across the board - even smaller characters get wonderful scenes or monologues. The show itself also looks great: it was filmed entirely on location in Cape Town, South Africa, and utilizes many practical effects (including actual giant ships that they built for filming). All of the characters are complex, and even when they do terrible things the show will somehow get you to come around and root for them again, despite it all. While it's largely serious, the show also isn't afraid to be funny: there are so many moments I can remember that made me laugh out loud and still didn't clash with the tone of the show. One of the other things Black Sails does really well is show consequences for the character's actions. There's nothing that happens in the show that doesn't have a larger ripple effect, and it's truly amazing to see how all of these branching actions by different characters can effect things, even much further down the line. If you're someone who is both fascinated by, and terrified of, the ocean, that is a feeling you will get a lot with Black Sails. While I wouldn't call it realistic in the same way The Wire is, or historically accurate (it is historical fiction after all), the way it focuses on specific details of what living like a pirate (or in this time period) would be like feels very real. You see how dangerous living on a ship is, what goes into maintaining it, how captains maintain or lose their leadership. You see what those on land have to do in order to work with/survive the pirates. And again, while it's not realistic in the same way as The Wire, I do think the social subjects it tackles and the themes it explores *are*, and continue to be felt today, even if in different ways. That's my zero spoilers pitch. For those who might want a bit more detail, here’s more in ROT13. Gurer ner zhygvcyr abg fgenvtug znva punenpgref. Gur fubj vf zber be yrff n cerdhry gb Gernfher Vfynaq, naq V guvax vg’f fnsr gb fbeg bs ivrj vg va n frafr bs guvf orvat gur “gehr” fgbel gung riraghnyyl yrnqf gb Gur riragf gung trg jevggra nobhg va Gernfher Vfynaq.

I’ve mentioned in previous comments about the show that there are some content warnings to keep in mind before checking it out. It can be quite violent, and it deals with the sexism/racism/homophobia that was present in the time period. I do also have to give a warning about sexual assault. This is the only one I’ll go into detail on in ROT13. Fnvq frkhny nffnhyg cybgyvar vf rnfvyl zl ovttrfg pevgvpvfz bs gur fubj.

Pleeease watch the sopranos I'm on my hands and knees

Aww I was hoping for the wire finale today (it's my birthday :D). For new shows I suggest these three: Black Sails, The Last Kingdom, For All Mankind

I think you guys would LOVE Ted Lasso

Barry is a masterpiece. Its also short and hilarious in a dark, dry way. Perfect palate cleanser after the Wire

Frieren!

Mad Men, it was made for you

Are they still going to react to Invincible season 2? I'm on tier 1 here so I don't have access to the videos

choose what you want! you guys have kinda been through it the last handful of months, would be fun to try out something new that’s been on your radars for a while! i’m sure we would be down no matter what!

You've become experts at building suspense and anticipation. As Jimmy would say, "Nicely done." 😄

Watch Snowfall it is kinda similar to The Wire I think you would love it,if not then we would love Monster

Blue Eye Samurai!

Cowboy Bebop

I’m sure it will be worth the wait. I would at least consider Generation Kill for your next series. Same showrunner as the wire, it’s a limited series, and it’s just a fantastic series all around

You guys should watch Ranking of Kings!!! plssss

I recommend the anime Hell's Paradise for new show. It's very interesting AND short!

A poll?🤭

Thanks for letting us know!

New Show New Show New Show New Show

Poll! Poll! Poll! I just wanna window-shop the options even if you just decide to overrule and pick one

What show were you thinking of?

look forward to more hxh😍😍
