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!

BigTim86

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

TitaniumShinbone

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

Alex

Hannah Walker

Ekaterine Kav

Me: requested Westworld some months ago Also me: wrote a whole essay on Bly Manor Im so torn 😭

Jeff Apperson

Augustine Lee

i guess im renewing my patreon

E T

You also can't watch just one season of reacher

Dale Tucker

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

Allaiya

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.

Chris Mcbrayer

Squid Game. Hoping you chose to watch the sub 🙏

Malorie

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

AvatarJordy

I hope you watch Squid game subbed!

Mandala Meditation by Gabrielle

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!!!

Pablo

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

SnorlaX

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

Kate

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.

SuddenImpulse

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

Jiraiya

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

SuddenImpulse

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

SuddenImpulse

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.

Kate

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.

TallTyrionLannister

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

SuddenImpulse

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.

K

Squid game! Aaaaah! Yes!

Ryan

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.

midothegreat

I'm so ready for squid game

Pablo

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.

NZ Hayley

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

Nicole Herd

Let the game begin

Julien

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.

Yusuf

S Q U I D G A M E !

KP

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

AkiZzu

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

Danny

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

JP

Dark

Hira Memon

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

FullMetal B

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.

Max Martin

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

momo

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

Jasper

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

Ana GG

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 🤌😁😁

FullMetal B

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.

Alvin Tsao

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

Stympler

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.

Olive_Sandy

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

Dale Tucker

I actually like the Dub for Squid Game...

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

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.

Apotheosis

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.

Matt

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

Kevin C

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.

Jermaine Lee

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

Hank Scorpio

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

Steffen K

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

Roxana G.

You should react to Alice in Borderland after Squid Games!

RedDevil

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

Julien

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

LazyCouchG3mer

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!

Dale Tucker

Hey goys, when are uploads usually?

Tommy Masters

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

spartanandpudgey

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

Kate

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.

Thomas

I think Spartan would enjoy Reacher a lot

BLY MANOR

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. 💖

Sherry Porritt

Midnight mass is greater than Bly manor

Fuzzy Dunlop

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

Felix Hayoz

PLease watch Reacher! Such cool 2 Seasons!
