Mr. Robot! The show first appealed to me as a tech and cybersecurity enthusiast in the first season, but the overall plot of the show shifted more towards mental health than I'd initially realized. It's a great watch!

2025-02-07 04:20:36 +0000 UTCI second the recommendations for Hannibal and Mr Robot. Lots of great content in both of those shows for you to comment on.

2025-02-06 17:39:22 +0000 UTCHannibal (the show) would be great! It follows a criminal profiler who thinks "differently" about the cases and a psychiatrist "helps" ALSOO Interview with the Vampire (the show) has so much to talk about, power struggles, toxic love, being a VAMPIRE lol both have a lot of mental health topics :)

2025-02-06 11:47:00 +0000 UTCI would recommend Band of Brothers, Chernobyl and The Mentalist!

2025-02-04 09:22:42 +0000 UTCOr the trapped in a freezer scene. Honestly the restaurant would go a lot better if they put some of the restaurant budget into therapy.
Joe
2025-02-04 02:06:00 +0000 UTCYeah I agree with The Bear, I would love to see Stus reaction to the Dinnertable scene
Ludo
2025-02-04 01:23:38 +0000 UTCDefinitely thinking about Mr. Robot here. That show hit me like a truck back then

2025-02-04 00:25:32 +0000 UTCAs others have mentioned, Movies are also a great idea potentially, you can get a lot of content out of an isolated 90-120 minutes.

2025-02-03 23:09:37 +0000 UTCI think your audience will properly guide you toward this type of content with polling, but, I'll list some examples in different slots. 20-30min Anime(Serious): Attack on Titan Death Note Neon Genesis Evangelion Cyberpunk Edgerunners Code Geass Stein's Gate 20-30min Anime(General): Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood One Punch Man Mob Psycho 100 General Animation: Avatar: The Last Airbender Invincible Pantheon Blue Eye Samurai Arcane Season 2 : ) 40-60min: The Sopranos Hannibal Dexter The Wire Breaking Bad The Leftovers True Detective I'm unsure about 20% of these in terms of modern day popularity, or viability for reaction content. A lot of these are just on the Mount Rushmore of shows people tend to always be willing to rewatch/seek out reactions for from what I've seen. You could do some analysis on how many views reactions get for these, how many people are reacting to this show, their imdb votes, current fandom subreddit activity, etc. My direct suggestion would be Cyberpunk Edgerunners since it's short, excellent, fairly character driven, and popular. Though I voted for Death Note in the poll. Would you expand on what you mean by "it running out of steam"?
Harris
2025-02-03 22:52:25 +0000 UTCDo you have any specific other shows with huge fan bases with more explore or and unique subject matter - that’s what I’m asking for. My concern is it’s going to run out of steam pretty quick if that’s the focus of every show as the reality is there will be far more similarities than differences. I’m also guessing though that that is what people want, instead of more general reactions that most other reactors seem to deliver who aren’t in specific roles like lawyers and doctors etc.

2025-02-03 21:15:58 +0000 UTC‘Blade Runner 2049’ is a pretty good film. Themes of humanity and identity
Matt Sturgeon
2025-02-03 21:14:48 +0000 UTCI was going to say the same thing
Thomas Cheetham
2025-02-03 19:58:11 +0000 UTCThe medium doesn't matter to me, I'd just prefer whichever media has content which'd be meaningfully explorable by you through the psychology lens. For instance, a while back the idea was mentioned of a Daredevil s3 reaction. Daredevil is a good show in general, but, there are dozens of other shows with huge fanbases with more explorable and unique subject matter, IMO. It seems like these shows would play to your strengths while also allowing for more channel growth.
Harris
2025-02-03 19:46:02 +0000 UTCUnderstandable. Dark or The Man in the High Castle may not be directly related to psy/mental health topics but I would say that the more complex the plot is the more thoughts you have to put in and then things can be seen through a psychological standpoint. Like why this character did this or that or what would people do in general if they were in that position. Now they are for sure more popular shows at the moment. Talking about Severance, coping with trauma, our relation to work/subordination/obedience, memory, identity are interesting topics. I won't elaborate more since it's "mysterious". But a psychological analysis would definitely be great !

2025-02-03 19:10:38 +0000 UTCIf you need a break from big series and just want a very good movie that is beautiful, trippy, funny and heart wrenching, Everything Everywhere All at Once is an incredible movie to check out. It deals with regret, love, depression, and family in a fascinating way. It's the sort of movie that's great for jumping into blind.

2025-02-03 18:59:03 +0000 UTCSpinning out is very interesting
ZuzaaA
2025-02-03 17:46:24 +0000 UTCPLEASE watch good omens and the last of us, absolutely incredible
TaroGhostie
2025-02-03 17:37:31 +0000 UTCI'd suggest severance
TheKebabSeller
2025-02-03 17:13:31 +0000 UTCI think I’d enjoy seeing you watch Mr. Robot personally! Also really enjoyed your thoughts on episode one of Death Note and would love to see more of that, though it IS anime haha
Cherry
2025-02-03 15:43:40 +0000 UTCShrinking ! silo, Sweetpea, severance , the bear ,
Carol Grein Ericson
2025-02-03 15:35:39 +0000 UTCHaunting of Hill house is actually phenomenal from a therapist perspective. I actually usually avoid scarier content but that show was not silly jumpscares, it actually had amazing character development and plot and intriguing story line and thats what sticks with you and you forget you're watching that genre!
Cyber
2025-02-03 14:14:41 +0000 UTCOh I second the haunting of Hill house!
Cyber
2025-02-03 14:13:26 +0000 UTCSilo is interesting from a social behavior theory POV but I'm curious to see if you've done a breakdown of Loki seasons 1 and 2 or WandaVision (assuming you know anything about marvel, sorry I'm new here) from a therapist point of view.
Cyber
2025-02-03 14:12:45 +0000 UTCI think The Bear would have a lot to chew on from a therapy perspective. I also think Succession would be really interesting.
Joe
2025-02-03 13:45:56 +0000 UTCI am gonna saaay Interview with the Vampire! It plays on perspective a lot. The characters are very multi-dimensional too. A lot to talk about in every single episode.
nor
2025-02-03 13:44:06 +0000 UTCAlso an Australian show called The Newsreader is really great for exploring mental health issues.
miranda
2025-02-03 13:41:41 +0000 UTCNBCs Hannibal is a great series, I think it would be interesting to see your thoughts on those characters.
miranda
2025-02-03 13:38:36 +0000 UTCI think the general reaction would be fun but I’m sure there some things you could analyse since Sherlock is a very bizarre character and you’ll never know what’s going on in his head and Watson got some kind of trauma from his time in the army. But your right there’s probably not as much as in arcane to analyse.
Otto Eulenburg
2025-02-03 13:36:21 +0000 UTCKeep hearing good things about severance too. I watched the first episode of man in the high castle - seemed good, not sure if there would be much to talk about from a psychology / mental health perspective. But maybe everything doesnt have to be about that and I can just enjoy reacting to a show - not sure if people would want to watch that though!
Lenny
2025-02-03 13:25:49 +0000 UTCMy friends keep mentioning this to me that its really good. I really should check it out.
Lenny
2025-02-03 13:24:56 +0000 UTCTrue Detective season 1 would be very interesting indeed ! Many complex characters I'd like to understand more !
Sikan Kaosu
2025-02-03 13:23:56 +0000 UTCSounds intriguing!
Lenny
2025-02-03 13:23:37 +0000 UTCIve read some of the books but not seen any of the TV content. I think there might be a few - the Downey films, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jonny Lee Miller. I'm not sure if there would be much for me to specifically talk about from a psychology perspective? Or maybe more of a general reaction? Let me know!
Lenny
2025-02-03 13:23:06 +0000 UTCThe OA, first season.
Jehan Sandra@sandrasalem
2025-02-03 13:21:18 +0000 UTCSeverance is a must and currently the second season is airing. Dark, The Man in the High Castle are great shows.
Franck Seng
2025-02-03 13:21:08 +0000 UTCOoooh! I think I got an awesome idea, what about True Detective season 1 ? (Just the season 1, 10 episodes)
Leo Rover
2025-02-03 13:20:36 +0000 UTCThis probably doesn't count but there's this game called Before Your Eyes that's practically a movie with how little you actually "play" it—it's made to be played with only your eyes (uses eye tracking and blinking to simulate the passage of time) it's a beautiful game with such a powerful message about personal grief portrayed in a way that I've never seen before. I'm getting something from it tattooed I own the game out of support to the devs but I've never actually played it—I watched a no-commentary playthrough on YT and it served the same purpose so I think of it as a movie in my head

2025-02-03 13:20:25 +0000 UTCHaunting of Hill house
Patrick Dawson
2025-02-03 13:19:39 +0000 UTCSomething that almost never gets attention but is (in my opinion) one the greatest shows: The Leftovers It is purely about how people react to unimaginable loss and cope with it over the years
Tomi
2025-02-03 13:18:57 +0000 UTCthe last of us would be interesting
Nate
2025-02-03 13:17:28 +0000 UTCIt would be great to see you react to Sherlock. It’s such a great show and it would be really interesting to see you react to this “high functioning sociopath”.
Otto Eulenburg
2025-02-03 13:16:06 +0000 UTCI think The Last of Us would be fun :)
