Sloan Lofton
Desperate for her to watch Bojack Horseman. Or has she seen it? She seems like the perfect audience for the conversations in the show.
dolo
Why why why why why... WHY PB losed this poll.
dolo
Oh yeah thank you a lot for that...
AFLO
Breaking Bad is such an amazing show.I wonder has she seen it already?
Azullis
I'm curious if you'll check out Loki Season 2, not sure if she said anything about it or taking a break from the marvel shows but I thought it was a really good second season to an already decent first season.
Nick Mo
Another possible, though there are a ton of episodes and it is a major commitment and Natalie may have already watched it in "real life"......BUFFY the VAMPIRE SLAYER.....Just a real fun show.
Nick Mo
Just want to put this out there, it is one of the best TV shows of all time (at least for me and many others)....THE WIRE!!!!
Meg B
Oh great, thank you for letting me know!
Rich House
She is starting it alongside whatever wins this poll
Meg B
Are you thinking of watching House of the Dragon season 2? :)
Brett
Any of the above!
jamie jones
Well, The showrunner of 97 literally said you needed to have watched the old show and referred to it as season 6.
Chris Guerrero
the way it kept going back to a tie but i think at this point in the week she might have already filmed the first episode of the winner.
Erin Olson
A couple suggestions for shows are Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul! Both S tier shows or maybe Righteous Gemstones 💎 for something more comedy centric.
Kevin L
really hope The Bear/Barry wins one of these polls one day
Aldo Gonzales
The Perfect Mix are wrapping up Breaking Bad this weekend, but they won’t be doing Better Call Saul right away. They wanna give other shows a chance first.
JD Shick
Man I hope that Barry wins one of these polls at some point , such an amazing show. Really shows Bill Hader’s range as an actor. Also really hoping you return to finish off season 3 of Daredevil at some point!
Rey
Pretty sure shes said shes seen it
Rey
Barry is one of those shows i think natalie especially would appreciate having worked in casting. I hope one day she just makes an executive decision to check it out
jamie jones
People saying start on season 6 because “i like it better” are funny. Why not just start breaking bad on season 5 as it’s the best season?
Rey
Facts! My friend went in only have seen the movies and she loved the show and was amazed how much cooler rouge was in the show than anything
Rey
Holy shit xmen in the lead🙌
Chris Biebel
If I might suggest a show not on your list that I'm sure you'll love how about: Farscape! Jim Henson Productions doing a serious Sci-Fi show. Just think about it.
Rog
Bravo perfectly said 👏🏽👏🏽 but I’ll add that some of the confusion is on purpose. We were all confused at certain times watching it .But it’ll all makes sense after your done with the season.They re-explain the lesser known characters during the season . And FYI Nat there a post credit scene for season 2 after episode 10 if it does win the poll.
Tylor Butzin
Literally just joined to see if there was any talk of X-Men 97 and to vote for it if possible. Glad it's in the running. I think I might have even broken the tie, for the time being. Also, I very much second the notion of Severance, and while I'm at it throw out The Rehearsal as a future rec.
Erik Stevenson
People demanding Nat watch dozens of hours of content so that she can "fully enjoy" one season of a show are so funny.
LittleGalaxyBoy
I don't get why people think you NEED to have watched the original X-Men series to understand or even enjoy X-Men 97. The series very much stands on it's own and does an amazing job at filling you in on past events without relying on those events for important story plot points. I've watched X-Men 97 with so many people, all ranging in X-Men knowledge and they loved the series and found it easy to follow. This includes people who have never read or watched any past X-Men media. X-Men 97 is very much designed around being friendly to returning fans but also people who have never watched the original series. Most people going into X-Men 97 have never watched the original series and the reviews speak for themselves on how well these people were able to follow the series without past knowledge and attachments to these characters. If X-Men 97 does win the poll and you do feel lost after the first episode you could always react to a short recap of the original series before watching episode 2. There's some really good recaps online going over all the important stuff. I personally think you'll be fine and adore the show for it's more comic accurate version of characters you know from the films while also introducing you to characters you've yet to meet while putting respect on certain characters who never got the chance to shine in the films. It's just a really good show that perfectly captures the soap opera feel of the comics. For people expecting a Wolverine focused show than you'll be disappointed as it's very much X-Men focused. There's no better slice of X-Men media outside of the comics. recaps are great but going into X-Men 97 100% blind would allow you to be more surprised with certain elements. It's up to you but I'd at least watch Ep1 first and if you feel lost or confused then you can watch the recap before going into Ep2.
Mike Hell
Oh wow PB is tied with X-Men now! Interesting. Maybe do another poll with just those 2?
addnid07
please guys vote for x-men 97. it's a short show. we can watch this one first and then watch peaky blinders pretty soon anyway.
djKENTO
It essentially just throws you into the 6th season of a TV show with very little context for what's happened and it's BANANAS.
djKENTO
tell that to the writer Beau DeMayo, the head writer and show runner who called it season 6.
djKENTO
there are currently 3 or 4 react channels doing Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul. The market is crowded.
djKENTO
She started season 3 of Peaky Blinders and went back... maybe she'll do the same here?
djKENTO
It's one of the best marvel projects because it builds on 5 years of story telling. It doesn't stand on it's own.
Raphael
I don’t know who your followers are.. but not voting for Barry should be a crime💔
Heliastein
Hopefully you can one day react to the crowded room with Tom Holland! It's incredible.
Aldo Gonzales
I voted for X-Men ‘97, but The Bear is definitely a must watch. My sister and I recommend it. On a side note, I’m gonna get The Perfect Mix to watch X-Men ‘97 this weekend. They’re gonna want a new show to react to. Who’s in?
Redrum Ritual
If she hasn't watched Breaking Bad yet, DROP EVERYTHING. Breaking Bad is your new show to watch
Rich House
While season 1 of the bear is the strongest I would say season 2 has the best two episodes of all 3 seasons in it
jamie jones
Starting a story on episode 77 of season 6 makes sense.
AdmiralZhou
Would love to see your reaction to the show Severance. Please add to the next poll. It’s such an amazing show and season 2 is coming next year
addnid07
I think she'll enjoy it. since some people says it's one of the best Marvel Project.
Mike Hell
I watched the first episode of 97 and thought "okay not bad...but I don't really feel nostalgia for this show anymore" and I didn't watch anymore, just didn't feel like invested. And I fear Nat will feel lost and confused...
Mastervodo
I am kind of with you. If you haven't seen the original cartoons, or have not read any of the comics the material is from.... even though this is super-hero fun - there's no nostalgia, there's a lot of questions with no answers, they have nothing to do with any of the movies, and it's really more kid friendly. Thankfully, they are short and it will only take a month to get through if X-men wins.
RawrSaur
No Hazbin hotel? Would be a perfect show for a theathre kid like yourself and since it's got two songs per episode that people love seeing reaction to it would get people to join patreon. I know I would.
Mike Hell
lol X-Men? Hmm she might need to watch a catchup video on the previous seasons. For some reason this feels like a potential Avatar live action situation to me, but we'll see
UngawdlyJish
Wow, x-men is winning? Alright. Not bad.
Walter Lopez
I never seen the OG Xmen 97 but this year's Season was incredible!
Walter Lopez
Don't give up on Barry, NAT!!!!
Michael Bergeron
Star Trek is great, and if you are going to get into Star Trek I think you should absolutely watch some of the original series. But you should absolutely not watch the entire first season. There are some amazing episodes in the show, and some amazingly bad episodes as well. There are probably 10, maybe 15 max, episodes of the original shows three seasons that you should watch and then it would be the 6 movies that follow that crew from the original show. That’s probably the best way to view the stories of the original crew now.
addnid07
I don't think it's really season 6. I didn't watch original x-men tas but still enjoyed x-men 97 a lot. and some other people did too.
Heliastein
So we're going to watch the 6th season of a show without watching the first 5 seasons but won't continue on a second season of a show we haven't finished the first yet xD This is the weirdest poll results I've seen here so far.
Chris Guerrero
Gravity falls would be good if she really got into the mystery and clues but she don’t got time for that.
Chris Guerrero
X-men 97 fans this is our moment 😭 and please guys remember it’s short so we can get to another soon
Jason Gillman
I legit kinda assumed she’s seen it already. A show about a Jewish NYC comedienne I imagine would be right up her alley.
addnid07
X-men 97 is really short too. so you can just watch two episodes a day so you can finish it and watch other shows again.
addnid07
what makes you think she won't like it?
addnid07
please watch x-men 97. it's been so long since this good came out from Marvel.
Rog
X-men 97 LFG
Chishiya
If you watch Alice in borderland and address me as the most annoying Patreon member you have I can accept that
Chishiya
Neither of those…. Watch Alice in Borderland. You’re missing out on an actual quality Netflix show.
Mauricio Morales
Star Trek OG is a tough vote. Not a whole lot of people have paramount+ and no one is watching ads on Pluto tv service. can you imagine trying to sync up with 4 ad breaks in between a 30 min show. Maybe replace it in future polls with a show that is accessible to most viewers.
Hertzweil
TRUST ME the Bear is soooooooooooooo good
Spidey Productions
I hope you watch My Adventures with Superman such a good show and helps you get to know characters that might appear in the new Superman movie next year
djKENTO
I'm feeling this way about most channels. There's a huge switch to TV shows across all reactions. 2 or 3 shows at a time, and it's like... I don't even really like most TV. I don't like watching TV shows multiple times either. It's a commitment to content I don't want to make.
TanNerd
Same
George Roybal
You'll really regret not watching all 6 seasons of Peaky Blinders. Also the Bear is awesome.
John Kim
Agreed Discovery is a Hot mess not horrible but a easy pass and the story is purposefully divorced from the greater star trek universe
MJ Eid
ugh super hero stuff
dieselbeast
Shit that would be something lol I just wish she would do more films and less shows smh sigh
dieselbeast
Basically lol she's something else good grief 🤦
dieselbeast
I wish that too but she won't lmao, she has stuck to her niche audience absolutely travesty
Natalie Gold
bahaha right!?
Tay Schumaker
can't even imagine how much she won't like X-Men 97. I almost hope it wins to watch the train wreck
Max
I agree. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a great starting point. It is by far the best of the modern Star Trek shows (post-2015) and works well as a standalone. Yes, there are some references to what happened in Star Trek: Discovery, but I feel like they are not at all essential to enjoy the show.
Modders
SICARIO MOVIE recommendation
James Fisher
I need your help getting Natalie to watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel . If you have not heard of this show it's an American period comedy-drama television series. Amazon Original that has won multiple Golden Globes and Critic Choice awards. And you should see for your self.
Inhale Burrito
It's what goes next to hotd. It's not going into the bin. Otherwise that's two shows with no choice in the matter and that'd be against some of these tiers we pay for.
calum1
Yeah it’s so weird imagine loving a series and then stopping at 1 season, shouldn’t even be an option who likes getting cucked on a series if it’s been chosen just watch the thing
Kraackin
None of these. So much better things to watch. Maybe I will leave and comeback in a year
Daniel McGuinness
Lemme just throw in another Star Wars: The Clone Wars recommendation while we’re at it 🫣😌 i know Star Wars isn’t your favourite genre but the show is good enough to singlehandedly reignite a passion for it tbh 🥹 it’s so rewarding Also voted for X-Men 👁️
Heliastein
This is 6 episodes per seasons... She hasn't done that for almost every shows she's watched... It just doesn't make sense IMO.
carlos
I just don’t get why S2 is even an option like if she’s enjoying than she should continue reacting to it
Modders
Don’t let her just watch one season of peaky blinders……
Joey Johansen
🐻
Yoda I am
Put The legend of Vox Machina back. New season this fall so it could be a great time to watch it.
Erik Stevenson
Going with Peaky Blinders S2 here, The Bear S1 is the best of the three seasons but it drops off from there IMO. X-Men is fine, but feels tailor made for folks who have a lot of nostalgia for the original series, idk that it'd make great reaction content.
Amir Gunn
Three way tie is insane
Kristine Friling
I second this!!
Daniel Vezina
Orphan Black, Vox Machina, Castelvania.
Raieldon
I suspect a lot of people didn't watch X-men past the first episode and don't understand what the rest of us in that giant voting bloc now know. I'd be super excited if you were jump into any gaps you have in that golden age of prestige HBO like Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Rome and Boardwalk Empire. Definitely fits your palate and intellect.
Michael Kemmet
Just going to ask that Legend of Vox Machina returns to the polls. I think it had a couple 2nd place finishes. Season 3 releases on Oct 3, so it would be a good time to give it a try.
PrayTellCaesar
Also og star trek has some of the best scifi episodes ever and some of the WORST.
khaliqtessi
I'd suggest going back and seeing the 90s XMen before 97, but it's all up to you.
PrayTellCaesar
Honestly, I've really been enjoying peaky blinders and hope you continue it
Aythius
Seasons 1 and 2 of Barry would be so good, particularly from Nat, especially the acting class scenes. Though I am really liking Peaky Blinders and I am hooked on that. X-Men '97 is just terrible.
Ernesto
The Bear would be so great! Phenomenal series that is a fast watch! Also, Star Trek Strange New Worlds would be a better fit as it is a shorter series but still feels like Star Trek. The biggest issues with that series and TNG is just how long they are for your to commit to. 20+ episodes a season is a lot.
Gary
The Sinner!!! For the love of god !!! plzzzz
Oliver
It's a shame but also there are better shows out there, I feel like Barry dipped in quality after like season 2. And tbh the only reason I want a Barry reaction is ti get her reaction to one very particular scene between old army friends
Mastervodo
DJL: One can certainly acknowledge the foundations upon which sci-fi rests, while also looking at it objectively and pointing out it's shortcomings. There are SO many better things I would like to see Natalie watch. Why fill her time with lesser offerings? And this, after all, is just my honest opinion. I would rather Nat watch a 2-hour documentary, once, to be informed on TOS and dive right into TNG rather than have her spend hours watching even 1 season. Again.. just my opinion.
Rogier Oude Heuvel
She is doing it 1 season at a time, so that she is not stuck watching a Long Show every time. So if she likes a show she will put the next season in a Poll for us.
John Kim
Star Trek Strange New worlds it's technically the prequel so is a better launching point
Mike Hell
I agree on The Americans but it'll never win a poll, not enough people even know what it is, but yeah it's awesome and I want to watch it now...
Kevin Farrell
gotta remember that this is her job and source of income. She can't commit to an entire show if the views aren't there.
Rey
Sould peaky blinders even be on here since your already reacting to it while reacting to the boy's ?
Dan
BSG would be a treat - maybe if/when it shows up again on a streaming platform? I would also love to see Nat dive into The Americans.
Tay Schumaker
Barry will never win a poll unfortunately
Michael Patrick
I’ve tried to like the bear..it’s okay but verrry overrated
Michael Patrick
I hope we eventually get LOST to win a poll
Mike Hell
She specifically said when she started PB that it was for S1 only, not committing to the rest of the series. She added it here to see if anyone wants to see her continue it. Makes sense to me. Personally, I'm not really digging the show that much, but would continue it if she did. I've heard S2 is very good. I’d rather she watch Barry finally or start something else like The Bear. But we’ll see.
Darryl Low
Show some respect Vodo ha ha 😂 Bear in mind that there would be no Next Generation without the original trailblazing series and it's movies. Just like there would be no colour movies without the ground breaking black and white silent movies that came before them. They are a part of history 😊
BettleBug
Idk if this would ever be a show you’re interested in but if you’re looking for something short and fun, I recommend Gravity Falls on Disney Plus. There’s a lot of renewed interest in the fandom since a new book just came out but it my also be fun for Natmare season
Thats MR. Baldamort
"Peaky fookin blinders" gets my vote. Tbh, kinda of confused why continuing a show you started is in a poll but I'll keep voting for it until it's finished.
Jason Gillman
I’ll continue hoping for Severance someday and vote for X-Men for now. Would love Trek but start with TNG. Nat would LOVE Barry btw
Tiger Chu
What We Do In The Shadows
Pickupthepieces76
Come on Trekkies! 🖖
Steve
I suspect another perspective could be that she has limited hours in the day and a need to be sure there's an excited audience for her content. The stuff I'm excited for rarely wins the polls either. It's a bummer, but I find folks need to find ways to get more comfortable with things not going their way.
Jordan
Peaky season 2 is so gooooood imo🔥
Brian Leonard
For All Mankind will get me back as a full subscriber. Also, Loki Season 2.
Brian Leonard
This is why I say just watch a few important and popular episodes of TOS.
Josh Noe
Oof. Guess I should read. Thanks, my bad lol
Jason Olguin
Barry block is so underrated
Brian Leonard
I went with X-Men. I like Star Trek, but I don't think you need to watch the whole season. I have no interest in the other shows.
Jerry Gonzalez
As much as I’d like you to continue peaky, the bear is to good
Mike Hell
This is a poll for what show to watch alongside HotD S2
dieselbeast
That's one of her things lol, I've been waiting damn near three years now (idk I lost track) she reacted to Rocky ages ago and I assumed the rest will follow but she polled Rocky two and it didn't win but that should never be a thing, you can't not follow through with the rocky films lol 🤷
adrianR31
Continue Peaky obv. Definitely the bear afterward. I've heard good things about Barry. XMen 97 I couldn't sit through. The dialogue is so elementary. Meant to continue the original series which is its biggest strength and weakness.
Sunflower Mari
Omg yesterday i was thinking how i feel like you'd love The Bear!!!
My
If X-men 97 loses to peaky fucking blinders I’ll cry
Thomas Richter
The Bearry
Christopher Henderson
Come on X-Men ‘97 I need her reaction especially for Episode 5!
djKENTO
Just a heads up once again that X-Men 97 is essentially the 6th season to a TV show. You CAN just jump in and work your way through it, but it's 5 years of time travel, space aliens, government conspiracies, love triangles, clones and all kinds of other shit and it expects you to know most of that before starting. It doesn't hold your hand.
Christopher Robles
Battlestar Galactica needs to go back up!
Heliastein
It's a bit weird to poll to continue a show that you just started IMO >_> Those are 6 episodes season.... I feel like it won the first poll it should be watched all the way through not have to be re-polled every seasons?
Alex Le
The Bear first pick with Barry a close second. The Bear is much shorter both in number of episodes as well as episode length so easier to get through. Barry on the other hand is more lighthearted so a nice change of pace from all the other shows.
Josh Noe
No season 2 House of the Dragon?
Mike Hell
Damn I'd love it if she gave Sopranos a shot
Mastervodo
Please anything but ST:TOS. I have been seeing it on other reactor's channels, and man... it does not hold up. If we are going to start trekkin'... start with TNG. TOS looks like a high school play compared to modern Trek. Poor sets. Poor writing. Bad acting. And even the stories are not very intriguing. Forbidden Planet may suffer from some of that - but at least the story and sci-fi premise is A+.
Amir Gunn
HELP THE BEAR
LittleGalaxyBoy
Gotta go with more animation myself so X-Men 97. But all these shows are amazing.
Danishprince
Other than Peaky Blinders S2 there's not really anything on the poll that really pulls me
Agent September 🏴☠️
I have a feeling you’ll really enjoy Barry. But I think you should keep going with peaky blinders if you’re enjoying it. Season 2 is my favorite and the show only gets better with the introduction of Tom hardy etc.
dieselbeast
The sopranos
Darryl Low
I was finding it hard to choose 😂
UngawdlyJish
Oof! That's a tough one. I chose Barry because I need to see that one myself, and watching with Nat is good enough for me. My second choice is X-Men 97.
Daniel Alejandro Mozqueda
Peaky blinders s2 is Magnificent 🙌🏻
Brian
I selected X-Men 97, but my real answer is legend of Vox Machina.
Jenny Chalek
You'll want to continue Peaky Blinders. Go with it. (Jedi mind trick attempt).
James Zagame
The bear is a fantastic reaction show.
Skellyp
Can’t wait to see AoT in the future pole! That will be complete cinema!
Darryl Low
Happy Monday Nat. Hope you had an awesome trip and got back safely 😊 Stuck between more Peaky and some classic Trek. I don't know 😬 Ok, lets go with more Peaky Blinders to see what happens😊
Lukas Weimar
The bear
Andy Scotschdale
We must get Barry. It’s too perfect for this.
Joshua Hutter
I hope Vox Machina comes back in future polls.
Mike Hell
Beat DJ Low ;) Also! The Bear or BARRY!
Darren P
on my hands and knees for the bear 🙏😭
