Short series poll

Hey S&P Fam,

we are early but want to be organised ahead of time for what series will replace The Haunting of Hill House so here is our poll for our next short form series!

REMINDER - Our short series poll is for 1 season series (with west world being the exception)

based on community feedback and our own preference, Band of Brothers will be replaced by The Pacific as we are very immersed in that world right now and want to keep it going

Vote for which series you want to see replace Hill House!

Battlestar Galactica 2004

Randy

PLease watch Reacher! Such cool 2 Seasons!

Felix Hayoz

Pudgey, don't let Spartan watch Reacher. Knowing him, he will 100% develop a problematic man-crush.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Midnight mass is greater than Bly manor

Sherry Porritt

But why do you have to be rude about it?

Nikki Sylvester

I understand why ppl would pick Squid Games first. It is a truly great show, but I really hope y'all check out Bly Manor too at some point (why not spooky season 😝) cause all of Mike Flanagan's shows are amazing. 💖

Nikki Sylvester

its been in the polls multiple times, so yeah they are aware of it. =)

BLY MANOR

I think Spartan would enjoy Reacher a lot

Thomas

Julien: I party agree. With a few exceptions, I don't think the show's shortcomings have much to do with departure from the lore. There are people who know the lore as well as anyone who find things to appreciate in the show--even some who outright love it. I've heard lots of criticisms of lore "changes" that aren't really changes at all, coming from people who don't know the lore anywhere near as well as they think they do (not putting you in that category). I think it all comes down to execution, and the weakness is pretty much entirely in the writing. Still, it's not all bad, even in season 1. And most people who aren't invested in hating the show are seeing considerable improvement in season 2. Just waiting on one more miserable mystery box to be resolved--although it seems increasingly likely the answer is going to be the worst one possible, at least we'll be able to move on from the pointlessly dragged-out question. As far as Spartan and Pudgey, I do think they'll be able to watch from an impartial perspective, and it would be an opportunity to learn more about the lore through both the show and community corrections. My inkling that they'll be able to enjoy it (and I'm trying to move on from judging people for enjoying things more than I do) comes partly from the way they embraced The Hobbit movies. Like, they thought it was equally as good as PJ's Lord of the Rings. Personally, I think the book departures in The Hobbit (the dialogue, the action, the comedy, the romance) are at least as bad as the weakest parts of Rings of Power, and often less Tolkienian.

Kate

refer to our pinned post up top for our schedule. there's no fixed time but usually between 7-10am AEST

CpaSpartan Pudgey

The Haunting of Bly Manor!! You will really like it, after watching The Haunting of Hill House.

Tommy Masters

Hey goys, when are uploads usually?

Dale Tucker

Glad you’re amused

Olive_Sandy

we won't! we want to watch it as well

CpaSpartan Pudgey

It might be the worst dub I've ever seen.

FullMetal B

That's hilarious

FullMetal B

Exactly. It is so good

RedDevil

Ye but meant in general

RedDevil

Yeah 5 seasons and 1 film, would be great to replace the long series, GOT, breaking bad, peaky blinders then that, some of the best tv shows in history!

LazyCouchG3mer

The Last Kingdom doesn't fit into the short series category sadly

Morgan Payne

I wonder what people who don't know the lore feel about it. As a long time Tolkien fan, the butchery of the story is genuinely painful to witness. I watched half the first season and simply read summaries of the read. A completely travesty of my beloved Middle Earth. But I'm certain that even if I weren't beholden to this world, the JJ Abrams "mystery box" storytelling style would have irritated me to no end. It would seem the entirety of the first season consistent in making you wonder "who is this person? Is this who I think it is? What are these people doing? What does this thing?" I have no idea why they think this is an entertaining way to tell a story

Julien

Have they ever reacted to the Last Kingdom. if not, that should go on the list for future series

RedDevil

Squid game is next level

Louis Melendez

You should react to Alice in Borderland after Squid Games!

Roxana G.

S1 of Westworld might be some of the best TV ever made imo, but i do agree it fell off quite a lot.

Steffen K

I personally liked S2 better than S1. And I didn't mind S3 but it defiantly fell off a bit. Haven't seen S4.

Hank Scorpio

Squid Game, really! I didn't realize how many people loved it. I did kniw it was popular, but I haven't watched.

Jermaine Lee

My only ask is don't leave Reacher off the list. In whatever future poll it might win, it's worth a watch regardless of when you get to it. Really feel like you both would enjoy the show.

Kevin C

100% agree, train to busan would be a great Halloween movie

Kyle Naylor

West World Season 1 is epic and amazing for reactions, come on!

Matt

I'm not interested in any of these, but if you join my Patreon for $20 a month I will vote for your choice on any poll.

Apotheosis

nah that was season 3 imho, but can't get into that because of spoilers. Season 2 episode 8 was also incredible with some of the things it did. That said yes season 1 is a masterpiece, hard to follow that up.

SuddenImpulse

You and me both, you and me both. Spartan likes adding new heavy hitters to the polls when mine have a real chance to win, he's doing it to spite me!! (I'm joking for anyone not familiar with the discord banter)

SuddenImpulse

I actually like the Dub for Squid Game...

Dale Tucker

Yea you're in the minority bud

Drip Drop

See you again soon friend!

Alex sh

I must be in the minority who thought Squid Games was awful. Sorry guys will sit this one out.

Olive_Sandy

season 1 & 2 were both good. Personally i was fine with the rest of the series too, but it doesn't even come close to the first season.

Stympler

Westworld is tough as it fell off so much after season 1

Alvin Tsao

It's kind of a running theme! Lol Sticking something new on a poll that just dominates when it otherwise would have went to something that has been close but not won yet in previous polls. I hope Westworld will get it's day even just for season 1 alone.

FullMetal B

Squid Game! Watch in Korean with subtitles. Always best to hear the actors actual voice when they're acting. Sometimes sub actors do a terrible job 😆 Korean Shows/Movies are really good. Train to Busan would be a good reaction for Halloween 🤌😁😁

Ana GG

We're being robbed of peak television right here. Westworld season 1 is a masterpiece.

Jasper

Finally one of my suggestions might win. I'm so excited 😭🦑

momo

Pass.

Raziel

Yes!! Please!!

Raziel

Aaah i thought it was westworld's time to shine finally, but squid game will win for sure...

Max Martin

Absolutel! I found bly manor to be pretty bland and forgettable if I'm being honest. Which was a bummer because I was excited for more victoria pedretti.

FullMetal B

Fall of the house of usher would have been amazing. Another Mike Flanagan gem.

Hira Memon

Dark

JP

If you react to the Squid Game watch it in Korean with subtitles.

Danny

Just a few days ago I thought Squid Game would be an awesome show for you guys to react to.

AkiZzu

Ring of power isn’t even half as good as squid game and they’ll get way more views with squid game

KP

S Q U I D G A M E !

Yusuf

It really not fair. Squid Games is huge. Westworld is never win these things. Called it ages ago as I've seen it fail over and over again. And honestly I think the addition of the controversial second season is contributing to killing its chances.

Julien

Let the game begin

Nicole Herd

I love Bly Manor but Squid Game can’t be missed, it’s reaction gold. All good options on the poll!

NZ Hayley

Yeah i get the scheduling could be an issue with everything they have going on right now. For what ive seen it is pulling decent views on other channels, on theirs well we cant know for sure (tho at least I'll be willing to bet it would do better than peaky blinders lol). Maybe it would have been a good idea to have it replace one of the 2 small shows since its a known brand and its being released weekly which i have heard they prefered that instead of seasons being dropped all at once. But i guess there was no way of knowing if it would be any good, tho i just watched the first one and its looking pretty good, also Colin Farrell absolutely kills every single role he plays so im hopefull the series is gonna turn out great. It would be nice to hear the S&P perspective on the matter.

Pablo

I'm so ready for squid game

midothegreat

I wish. Its amazing. Timing might be difficult tho.

Farbod

Ain't no way. That series is a meme and a mockery to Tolkiens work. It's just yet another example of the showrunners going against source material thinking they can do it better...just like Witcher and HotD.

Ryan

It's literally terrible. Pass.

Paul De'Armond

Squid game! Aaaaah! Yes!

K

Well, I don't know if their minds have changed now, but they said they had no plans on watching it back when Season 1 came out and seems like a fairly firm stance ** at the time**. Maybe thats changed, no clue. Theres some people I know (that are not ragetubers) that have been watching Season 2 that have said its only slightly improved, or that they liked it more starting out, but have been kinda down on it again as its progressed, so I am not sure what to think. Some of the lore changes in season 1, some of the acting (though some of it was excellent) and some of the writing, was rather frustrating/irritating for me. I think I'll see what people think once the season is done and then maybe give it another chance, because the episode quality was kind of all over the place (imho) in season 1 so I wanna make sure I know what I am getting into because I spend those hours. I looked on IMDB and the highest rated episode for the season so far is a 7.4 which, given the budget and everything else, doesn't inspire much confidence for me, but I also try not to judge things I haven't seen myself.

SuddenImpulse

Why did they have to sneak Squid Game in the poll this time 😭. It was Westworld’s time!!!

TallTyrionLannister

Yeah, season 2 is a huge improvement. Almost everyone but the rage-tubers can agree on that. Still has its fair share of issues, but I’m actually looking forward to each new episode. But aside from what I think, I just think S&P would enjoy it—especially by the time things get rolling in season 2. And the longer they go without watching, the more basic spoilers become unavoidable.

Kate

2nd season is so so good. Trust ....I agree about 1st seas. But they really do a great job in 2nd season

Mandala Meditation by Gabrielle

I don't speak for them so take what I say with grain of salt, but I'm not sure they have time to do it right now between main show slot, two limited series slots at 1 per week, and keeping their movie schedule going. It'll be awhile before another limited series slot opens up since its 1 per week. They do make room for now airing shows on occasion but it has to be a mix of their own personal interest+assumed demand and views being sufficient to warrant watching something while its airing as opposed to later on. At least if its the first season of something and not a continuation of their prior reactions.

SuddenImpulse

I haven't seen the second season, in fairness, but the writing was pretty awful in season 1.

SuddenImpulse

Torn between Squid Game and The Haunting Of Bly Manor. Both are such good shows and I think you’d enjoy both.

Jiraiya

Each season covers a different book and the show is skipping around the books instead of doing them chronological.

SuddenImpulse

THIS. Watchmen is phenomenal.

AvatarJordy

Agreed. I don’t love the show (although it’s getting better), but I think they would. I just want to see their reactions to it, and for them to spend more time in Middle Earth.

Kate

RINGS OF POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SnorlaX

Are there any plans on reacting to The Batman spinoff series The Penguin? Its live dropping every week since last week and its also only 1 season

Pablo

What about The Ring of Power? You guys loved Lord of the Rings so much, and you gotta watch the show. It's so damn good!!!

Mandala Meditation by Gabrielle

of course!

CpaSpartan Pudgey

I hope you watch Squid game subbed!

AvatarJordy

Dang I’m so torn between squid game and bly manor… I say bly manor because it’s still spooky season. But squid games is really good

Malorie

Squid Game. Hoping you chose to watch the sub 🙏

Chris Mcbrayer

Squid game is good. But Manor would be good for another spooky series. West world season 1 is good too. Haven’t seen Reacher series.

Allaiya

You guys haven't seen Squidy? Oh boy, guess I'll be re-watching it for the 5th time

Dale Tucker

You also can't watch just one season of reacher

E T

i guess im renewing my patreon

Augustine Lee

Hope y’all do Bly Manor after HOHH, as it is a very good sequel

Brian Clancy

Katie Thomas

Alex

West world is so good but squid games is too big to lose

TitaniumShinbone

Westworld, it’s our time; let’s go. “If you can’t tell the difference, does it really matter?”.

BigTim86
