New TV Show Poll

it's that time of year, good luck and don't kill each other in the comments.. ps: hxh is coming out tomorrow and mr robot on sunday

Comments

Also, the slang is tough enough for a native English speaker to follow, let alone someone for whom English is a 2nd language. I'll encourage them to not get frustrated with the slang.

Michael M

I would say Sangatsu no lion/March comes in like a lion is GREAT, sweet and has many female characters. And I'm with all of you who don't give up on them reacting to MONSTER someday

Doeyi Tokki

lol I didnt even think of that, their face blindness is going to make this interesting.

stay

Oh what no Peaky Blinders? 😢

Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen

Would it be worth sharing this character chart with them? Maybe slightly edited for spoilers? https://imgur.io/a/KIyuJ

space1999

Agree so hard! Would it be worth sharing this character chart with them? https://imgur.io/a/KIyuJ

space colon

why would u write this? So fcking unnecessary.

arr f

OMG thank you! I can't wait for The Wire. I think you're going to have a great time with the reviews.

jveezy

Has Neon Genesis Evangelion ever show up in a poll before?

Donovan Jeffery

MONSTER

Doeyi Tokki

I would love It!

Camelot B

It's an homage to the original Coen brothers' Fargo movie

Evan

Absolutely agree!!

Naya37

Demon Slayer is the perfect amount of episodes, like less than 50. One Piece has over 1000, it's the best. Their loss but 2 episodes a week isn't going to cut it for OP. Demon slayer is so f'ing good. I was wondering why their manga was selling so much, I was only familiar with the first two seasons. But what was going one was basically Avengers Endgame type stuff with an 80 percent casualty rate. I think they're going to have to release a few theatrical movies for upcoming arcs. I definitely see a billion and a half in worldwide gross if it's at least two movies. (Infinity train made 500 million worldwide) Of course, they still need to release TV series too. But the beginning where Muzan appears, and the very end of DS should be theatrical films.

J Steak

The issue I have with Fargo is it's fiction. Why do they have to say 'based on a true events.' Everything is made up why not try to have a show based on it's merits of their fiction.

J Steak

The thing about the Wire is it didn't age well. It was fascinating at the time it aired, but don't think nowadays Big cities would put all that effort in solving crime and catching criminals at this level. It's all about defunding the police. Even the change of pace season that deals with the issue of 'unions' seems kind of dated. But definitely worth watching at least once.

J Steak

Hi sorry this is really off topic from this poll but does anyone know if they're planning on starting Stranger Things up again? I know in their ranking video they said they planned to continue but I wasn't sure if that meant on their own time or during reactions 😅

J

SpyxFamily you two need some wholesome comedy! :)

Hennessey

It's so disappointing to see so many votes for The Wire. So overrated.

wrnrbro

Please react to Kimetsu no Yaiba: Demon Slayer, a great anime with one of the best animation ever, I'm sure you will love it. You should watch One Piece, I know it has so many episodes but really it's worth it, once you finish HH you'll see the number of episodes it's not a big deal

Juaney Castanedo

Fargo is amazing an every season very distinct, like the wire

T0ast

mad men is god tier character writing

T0ast

Can't speak for other people but every time I've tried to watch Fargo I've found the pacing to be completely screwy to the point it's unwatchable - and I liked Devs, I can cope with screwy pacing. Like I said can't speak for others but me personally..

Martin Nicholls

Fargo's a good call. I'd like that on the next poll

Isaac

Why is Fargo always so underrated? It's amazingly well written and never too heavy. I'd put it a smidge behind Mr. Robot and Attack on Titan but seasons 1-3 are absolutely perfect. Plus it is an anthology series so every 10 episodes you get a new cast, setting, etc. although they tie into each other a bit.

Evan

I watched the first episode and it's so good

Cortega

RIIGHT!!! hope more ppl recommend it too, so LM agree to the idea

Mrs.Portgas

Violet Evergarden is GREAT you just know they gonna love it

Mrs.Portgas

I strongly support they reacting to the One Piece Openings! Nice idea!!

Kizaru

they would DEFINATELY love One Piece, is right up their ally, but they need to at least change their schedule to at least 6 eps a week (3 eps per reaction) to catch up in almost 3 years, but i don't think they would do that any time soon, so i recommended at least a reaction to the openings, might excites them to watch it later on

Mrs.Portgas

i would love if you'd watch Violet Evergarden 🥺 +a reaction for all one piece openings, just the openings, so maybe in the very far future you'd give it a go, and by then you would forget about the openings (there are enough openings for a reaction, trust me, these gains a lot of views) pretty plleassse girls!! just the openings! i'd die to see your reaction to them😭😭😭

Mrs.Portgas

@komikall monster is actually winning poll in Filmbuff Patreon. His audience knows and understands his taste tho so they keep him recommending one gem after the other. Let's hope monster also gets picked up one day by LM. Although if i remember correctly, both fmab and Vinland did not have polls. If we keep pushing it in comments eventually monster may also get picked.

Vivasvan Gautam

I also love Demon slayer but not for any story reason that is mostly just meh not bad but not special but the damn animations and fight scenes are so goddamn crisp. However saying that just so you know Demon slayer has already been cancelled by the Patreon community so won’t happen.

Melkor

Saw another comment saying Lola watches it already in her own time.

DaftBasterd

Moribito is perfect for them. I think it's like 30 episodes. I watched it three times. Definitely has a female lead. But I think it could be a rip off of Avatar. I haven't seen Avatar yet. But that director seems to borrow a lot of popular concepts, but I watch all his work. And that was when I was very primitive when it came to anime. I think ten years later I decided to build a solid base of popular anime knowledge and binged on every episode of Naruto, Dragon Ball, One Piece. Then moved on to Hunter X Hunter which is kind of a mid size one and one of the greats of course. I think Demon Slayer is perfect for them. I read the manga after season two, and these arcs get better and better. And lot of money reaction episodes. But future seasons are going to be great and then add to the fact that the animation studio is one of the best.

J Steak

I hope you add succession since it's ending soon

Freddyfingers26

I'll miss you Tom :)

Dustywood

MadMen is One of the modern great shows That nobody has reacted to... maybe You could consider for Next time.Knowing You i think You would Love it 😎💐 The wire is great too. LFG

John Bishop

are they going to watch shadow and bone season 2?

Vikifromnowhere

i'm excited for the Wire

BobJ

Don’t bother explaining simple logic Dante. So called King Armin surety must have understood you meant the general online discourse.

Melkor

Not as long as they place extremely known shows on the polling lists beside Black sails sadly. For example someone here suggested Tge Sopranos which is very good but it’s also not a fair thing to place with Black sails as then the same thing as now would happen and there are many other really known shows that would have the same affect. Don’t keep your hopes up ok definitely not.

Melkor

I have my own idea of a an anime I think they would enjoy but it doesn’t follow the female main character criteria but I feel it deserves a mention anyway. Cowboy bebop is one of those classics that hasn’t aged poorly at all and is still very rewatchable (obviously I’m talking about the anime) and is a anime I think they would like. It’s also not extremely long. Idk maybe bad idea but I think it deserves a mention.

Melkor

The amount of people wanting them to watch monster is really getting my hopes up this time lol.

Komikall

Second Violet Evergarden. It's just a very different type of show to the usual.

Camzeee

Robert just like me frfr. I'll have to think more on a short list to present for after Vinland Saga. I've also been wanting to give them more female options

Isaac

Fruits Basket!

David

@Orr Malus Monster after the show after Vinland Saga I also see 100%! Monster is so good. I recently started watching it again and I'm still amazed at how this thriller squeezes so much story into so little time. Also, the world design by the mangaka is just awesome. Those little details were perfect even though he hadn't even visited the country.

Robert H.

@Ninaly I had rewatched Steins Gate a year ago, and I'm sorry to say but Steins Gate is really bad. It does have a large female character cast, but they are just a harem for the main male characters and have almost no character depth. They serve as objects that are permanently and repeatedly sexualized by Rintarou and Itaru. In addition, the dialogue is for the most part incredibly poorly written and is mired in clichés and weirdness. I feel quite badly about idol Faris and her moe culture, the sociophobic Moeka, who is at the same time a secret agent (Please what?) and trans girl Luka, who is constantly rejected by Rintarou for her innate gender while penetratingly repeating that she is a boy. Ultimately, the basic idea and big plot at the end being good enough to give the series its hype, but by today's standards, I would put Steins Gate very very low.

Robert H.

Clearly, I meant in the general online discourse. Of course, comments here are going to be about it because most people who have seen it are very passionate about it due to how good it is and it isn't winning the poll. Way more people have seen The Wire so naturally it would always win.

Dante

Moribito would be a nice respite for them from Vinland Saga. Then after they had their rest they can finally start watching their future new favorite show: Monster.

Orr Malus

Violet Evergarden is fantastic! They would love it

craftmania

Man, they would love Black Sails, maybe one day.... :(

Tuomas Halkoaho

they should react to steins gate, its basically 1 dude + 2 female main characters. its also nearly the only non-shounen among all the popular animes

Ninaly

Question: For the next anime poll, do we want to take only anime with female main characters? I just have to think about the Vinland Saga Reaction, where Lola and Milena discussed seeing more male and boy filled shows on the channel. I think it would be cool to bring some variety in here. With Violet Evergarden, A Place Further Than The Universe and Moribito, I can think of 3 that they would enjoy.

Robert H.

Jjk would go in the Vinland Saga slot, so push for a poll to include it when Vinland is almost finished

Isaac

one piece is undoable for their type of reactions

Sosa

You come at the king, you best not miss.

Michael M

I mean you wouldn't say this if you didn't want to provoke a response considering they have reacted to anime for a while XD

tom

hope they react to Barry someday

x

I think its honestly because The Wire isnt as good as a reaction type show as Black Sails. Granted i have not finished The Wire either but it feels a bit more procedural than something like Black Sails if that makes sense. I only saw S1 of The Wire tho

MOB12

Off you go

MrChicam

Narutooooo

Berkay Arguden

I believe one day The Sopranos will be in one of these polls... DOOON'T STOP, BELIEEEEVIN'

enchantertim

Lola watches it already :( Would love an asymmetrical reaction one of these days - where one of them has seen it and one hasn't. Would be interesting and this show would be one of the best to pick.

Camzeee

yes. next Mr Robot on Sunday. we might get both final episodes if we're lucky (probably not though)

Kara

They both have said they wish they could erase their memories to watch it fresh again because they loved Leftovers so much. I agree with the Barry suggestion, amazing show!

DaftBasterd

I’ve been planning on trying to watch The Wire again, so I’ll pick that.

Thomas De Peña

My brotha 🫡

Yuyi Anaya

Same !

Jojotes

maybe they can react to the final season

ReeNo1500

in their rankings vid from about a year ago Lola said she's seen it and loved it

Max Carter

Hows no one talking about, literally half of the comments about it

terrier

lol except its the exact opposite, sam planned out the major beats of story beforehand

T0ast

I mean they loved the early season sof BCS and many poeple say they are a bit to slow

T0ast

one of them has already seen it

T0ast

I was kind of embarrassed in season 2 for the low ratings, not because the show wasn't popular. I watch low rated shows and cheer for their renewal, like say 'The 100'(of course I didn't watch last season. A show LM reacted to.) It was that they were doing these live reaction shows with the cast and extensive theory show following new episodes of Mr Robot. So every week they'd get these lower and lower rating. I kind felt bad, because they're doing recap shows, that they do for Walking Dead and breaking bad, on a show that no one watches and won't be renewed. There were only a few recap shows folloing Mr. Robot, the big one was the season two premier, a few after that. Also by the end of season two I thought there was no master plan of the show and they were making it up as they went along.

J Steak

I hope one day Succession will be on here

Donovan Jeffery

According to their tv time accounts, they have both seen a good chunk of Ted Lasso

Bryce

I’m still hoping to see Stien’s Gate

K_How

I'll shift my vote to the Last Kingdom for ya, because I haven't seen either 3 of these series - my vote is up for grabs. Got your back now.

Dustywood

I haven't seen any of these, so I'll be interested. Just happy there's no anime on the voting list, because anime sucks. (Personal opinion before any anime-fanatics freak out)

Dustywood

Lola has seen. Mentions it quite often

Isaac

IMO the main point in JJK's favor is its well-developed female characters which in anime isn't the most common thing. I'm sure they'd appreciate that. However I do think that they may only like but not love it, I think the first season is uneven story and pacing wise. I think its tone varying so wildly doesn't quite work as well as it does in something like FMAB, but it has lots of cool stuff– I just don't know if it's the type of thing that they'd be super into or not. I could be wrong, we'll see!

Myeh

Fitting cuz it's following Mr. Robot. The other GOATed but underreacted show

Isaac

Damn why is the Last Kingdom so low? Its such a great show. Alexander Dreymon and David Dawson killed it

Jay

Yes another Mad Men supporter! If I'm keeping count, that's 4 so far, including me. I think it has a good shot on being on one of the polls.... maybe a few years from now hahaha.

tom

Well, your thoughts on Mr Robot aside (I think the fact you were embarrassed to watch a show because of its low ratings speaks for itself on where your opinions come from), I'd like for them to watch Mad Men in the future so I'll just note that there's one more person who is considering it. Hopefully we can make enough noise to get it on a poll in the future (though The Sopranos being first would make sense with the lineage and all)

tom

You guys never fail to disappoint with your empathy and understanding of character motivations as well as general themes I know Lola loves The Newsroom and The Westwing, there’s a lot of overlap between Sorkin’s shows with The Wire in terms of themes, values and character beats

space colon

This is such a treat! The Wire should honestly be shown in Highschool classrooms everywhere even outside of the US. Every aspect of a single city is broken down for the audience and we get to see why so many patterns of suffering and inadequacy emerge

space colon

OMG, The Wire... is this real!?! The best show that almost no one reacts to!

Chibi Sphere

A Google spreadsheet of all the shows LM have seen, is probably overdue at this point. Lol

Steven Jeanrolus

The entire LM Reactions community right now: https://imgur.io/gallery/AwWzeTG

TeaDrinker3000

Damn. When, where? What did they say about it?

Sauli

I've heard a lot of good things about Mad Men. But if it doesn't end with the line "The real Mad Men were the friends we made along the way" I'll be severely disappointed.

TeaDrinker3000

And I think they'll really like the ending, so its probably gonna go even higher on their list.

Guilherme Cardoso

I voted the wire and haven't seen the other shows but when it comes to classic great shows I think mad men would be more to your liking.

Aaron Morris

Black Sails is so incredible and few people know it. Can't argue with people voting The Wire though, one of the best shows ever.

Eric

@Farbod It's just a different take dude. Like I said, it's not a bad show and if you really dig it then that's cool. I personally prefer a story that focuses on 2 or 3 characters rather then a dozen. To each is there own ✌🏻Peace✌🏻 💓Love💓 ✊🏻Respect✊🏻

slipHAZARD

they've seen leftovers in their personal time they said

ODIS

Agreed. LM will put the best Wire discussion and analysis on YouTube in their sleep.

Michael M

United States Of tara is an amazing show also

Justin Spencer

My Top 3 are Breaking Bad, The Wire, and Sopranos. I'll vote Sopranos for you next time, brotha.

Michael M

Do you think they'll like JJK? I don't think so.

Anto

I agree with the "Barry" suggestions, great show. Leftovers is also tremendous. Season 1 is quite slow but it gets much, much better. A show that much lighter viewing -- "Nathan For You" If you're at all into cringe/awkward comedy.

Steven Jeanrolus

More HxH lol

David Salazar

By the way, are we getting Mr. Robot as a 2 episode special or are you going to space them apart?

Ekaj Ex

Bob Dylan is the epitome of overrated.

Rileymetal

Black Sails is more interesting than those shows IMHO

Rileymetal

If I could downvote you I would.

Rileymetal

Wow someone with The Wirr on their list 😎

NamelessMonster

I was hoping for The Sopranos, the greatest show of all time.

Yuyi Anaya

Mr Robot then The Wire? Greatest reaction run that includes two of my top 5.

orlanmop _

i personally wanna see more adoption papers signed, so im praying for Haikyuu!! But for now, The wire will have to do.

Lightstrick

The Wire is up there with True Detective S1 but it's a long series and can be a bit slow

J.J

It's such a slow burn

Tom Evans

I haven't seen any of em but will likely watch The Wire at some point. Ngl, the comment sections of these polls are easily the most entertaining of the bunch

Myeh

I think your view of audience-ratings of actual people viewing the show is flawed at best. They've said Mr Robot is one of their fave shows, and while it had pretty bad live viewership, it was always critically acclaimed for a reason

Myeh

To be fair a few react channels have done Black Sails (Blind Wave, Normies, Nikki & Steven, Jimmy Macram) and not many have done The Wire, maybe just the Normies. Still I am a little bummed that Black Sails is going to lose out to the Wire here.

Tom Evans

I'd love to watch Barry alongside you girls. High on my wishlist. Maybe next time.

Camzeee

Sigh. Someday, Black Sails. Someday 🥲

cosmotron

not sure when the anime poll is but JJK PLSSSSSSS!!!!!

BOBBY

I didn't think much of Mr. Robot either after 2 seasons. But I'm watching in full now alongside L+M and I've changed my mind. It is not a mediocre show. It is a very good show. Ratings have no bearing on the quality of the show. It deserved a bigger viewership but being on USA Network hurt it.

Camzeee

Is it possible for you to watch Barry someday ? a great show from HBO the last season will be soon on TV

noredine allel

Are you insane? Mr Robot season 3 and 4 had minuscule ratings. It was a joke. Look up wikipedia. I was posting the ratings in real time when the show was flopping. I think I gave up on season 2 because I was kind of embarrassed to still be watching it since the ratings were so low. Not that it should matter, I quit watching because the show was a trainwreck. I'm talking about the TV viewer ratings, extremely low for being an a popular cable network and time slot.

J Steak

Wait, how can you say a show that almost never gets talked about and never wins polls is overrated 😂😂 do you know what that word means? I can guarantee you haven’t watched it if you’re calling it overrated.

Dante

Are you just talking out of your ass right now? You do know that season 4 of Mr. Robot has the highest ratings out of all the seasons right? And season 3 is almost the same.

Dante

From that list of shows The Wires is the clear favorite. But is it right from them. I'd say one of the top modern drama TV shows. Think Sporanos or even Mad men could be more univeral reaction material if they're viewing 'top modern TV dramas'. They actually watched all four seasons of Mr Robot so they have high tolerance for completing even mediocre shows. I watched first two seasons of Mr Robot, took a while to get through season two. I'm sure that last two were okay, but they really had extremely low ratings, so tough to have popular reaction if no one familiar with it.

J Steak

Black Sails is a legitimate masterpiece and its so unknown/underrated.

MOB12

I think black sails is overrated, "The Wire" all the way

terrier

When the wire wins, it'll be a nice return to them going "jimmy, my boy!"

Riff Michaels

In 2 months

terrier

Choosing between Black Sails and Last Kingdom is a tough choice for me. Hope y'all do both eventually!

DalyDose

Yes for the Wire! I'd love Mad Men on a future list as well.

Avery

Yeah I have to second that. Amazing show that never gets the votes somehow

Teddy S

The Wire is indeed overrated.

wrnrbro

Relax lol. The Wire is one of the best shows of all time. Give it a try!

Spencer

THE WIRE LET'S GOOOOOOO

Riff Michaels

Well, thats true. But I think they would love the show

Kizaru

Lol, calling The Wire "decent" is like calling Bob Dylan a "serviceable" songwriter.

Larry David

Wow. The Wire. For my money the best show ever created. Then Sons of Anarchy and Mad Men. SOPRANOS and GOT. And The expanse

PamRenea

Don't get me wrong I did love the wire but The Last Kingdom where it's at for me. I think overall especially to react to it would be much more enjoyable and fast paced. It also much less know and always a bit sad it dosent have the recognition it deserves!

Lachlan Smith

Why no Sopranos?

Orr Malus

didnt expect to see the wire on here but happy to start it. wonder if they would ever do more prestige tv from that era like mad men or sopranos

Sebastian

OH HELL YEAH THE WIRE LET'S GO BABYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

TeaDrinker3000

I hope that’s what happens - I’d been hoping for that to happen this time too though. 😩

cosmotron

The Wire is amazing

BobJ

just to know, is there any estimate to when the next anime poll should be?

Jjj.

Black Sails shouldn't have to win a second poll after this ... you should just add it to your reactions as soon as a slot opens.

Rileymetal

Bizarre take. Breaking bad is the overrated show. A couple really amazing acting performances and the rest forgettable throw away characters. The Wire is much more interesting and a much more expansive and detailed story. It has a dozen interesting and layered characters, not just 2 or 3.

Farbod

Oh yeah make sense, forget we have two ended show this week

Nezumis

we weren’t gonna do a poll, its replacing the last of us, we didnt have time to film it before

LM Reactions

Personally i've always found The Wire extremely overrated. I'm not saying it's bad or anything it is still a decent show in it's own right. But i've never understood how some put it up there with shows like Breaking Bad. My vote goes to Black Sails, very underrated and under appreciated, amazing writing and characters.

slipHAZARD

Noooo hahaha

cosmotron

You've cursed it, Black Sails gonna lose to Van Gogh in the next poll now

Kara

I predicted this outcome in the latest The Last of Us comment section. I hate when my fears come true.

Melkor

I’m holding out hope for Midnight Mass someday too 😩😩 between that and black sails I’m always rooting for the underdog apparently

cosmotron

None of the above, but I will definitely keep my Patreon active on the off chance our paths cross again, post Mr Robot.

wrnrbro

Said it in another comment, but The Wire is very famous while the other two are more underrated gems (like Mr. Robot). So it’s a bit like…’choose your favorite artist out of these three’ but one of the artists listed is Vincent Van Gogh while the other two haven’t been heard of. It’s nothing against Gogh or about the quality of any of the artists involved. But Van Gogh would still win every time, because that’s the one people have heard of. Ah well. I’m trying to be happy for those really excited for The Wire, and LM will probably like it.

cosmotron

Honestly Ted Lasso would be the perfect reaction show. As much as I love the Wire its not something they would enjoy reacting to IMO...but I guess we will find out lol

red DevilMoe

You will 100% love Black Sails.

B11zzard1991

60 FUCKKKKKK Well I’ll have nothing interesting to watch for a long time. My day is ruined and don’t know if I should cry or laugh.

Melkor

Tho TLK imo is not close to Black Sail in quality but it’s still a decent show.

Melkor

Precisely this is pretty much an automatic loss or in other words sabotage weather people will admit it or not. It’s a giant compared to small barely known masterpieces. Not fair imo.

Melkor

Prayers won’t help us only kidnapping the phones of all the Wire voters and changing the vote can save us now. Unlikely sadly.

Melkor

Yeah unfortunately a lot of shows on “premium” channels in the early 2000’s up to 2010’s did that. They try to reach a bigger audience by presenting sex and action the first season or so but then writers are given a bit more free reign to flesh things out a bit without all the T&A. GOT was the big one around that time

Jed U

Not gonna lie of course The Wire is incredible but having seen all 3 shows I really think Black Sails and even TLK would be much more up LM’s alley and better for reactions. Yes I’m biased because Black Sails is in my top 5 shows of all time and it’s only 38 episodes.

Dante

If they do that instead of Black Sails next I will riot.

Melkor

The Wire is amazing, would be an interest choice.

Farbod

Sad? You should be furious over this Heresy.

Melkor

Not gonna lie wasn't expecting a poll but rather the s2 of Shadow & Bones. Have you dropped it? watched it on your own?

Nezumis

You mean I’ll have to wait at least 9-12 months? I will die. This has gotten me so mad that I’m getting child like behavior from my frustration. Lola and Milena if you read you have just created a personal grudge from me. I THINK THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE.

Melkor

😬...60

Isaac

Well that's a losing fight

Ulfway

NEXT YEAR? How long is the Wire?

Melkor

I’m trying to not be a little disappointed too - The Wire is very famous while the other two are more underrated gems (like Mr. Robot). So it’s a bit like…’choose your favorite artist out of these three’ but one of the artists listed is Vincent Van Gogh while the other two haven’t been heard of. It’s nothing against Gogh or about the quality of any of the artists involved. But Van Gogh would still win every time, because that’s the one people have heard of.

cosmotron

Second Black Sails 😩

cosmotron

That show is good but can’t compare in greatness with the other options.

Melkor

Mr. Robot on sunday means no Mr. Robot today and tomorrow, correct?

Slaizio

The comment above misspelled so I say Black Sails.

Melkor

RIP Black Sails. Maybe next time

Jake Port

The Black Kingdom

Michael M

Or never?

Melkor

I mean I understand why you would do that but I don’t respect it.

Melkor

First person to reply to my comment one of the options, I'll vote on. As I have not watched any of these lol

Ulfway

*Extremely underrated

Melkor

Yeah, I hadn't considered that this would be a poll option. Next year, buddy? 😔

Isaac

I know right? I’m losing all hope. THIS SUCKS. I’ve been waiting so long and I see The Wire in the poll which is sabotage against Black Sails. I am so fricking annoyed. lol

Melkor

We are never getting Black sails and it’s criminal. Such a good show not getting the attention it deserves but ofc putting The Wire in the poll makes things unfair for the others. YEAH I AM SALTY OVER THIS.

Melkor

Since Black Sails is also only four seasons it would feel right too go into it after Mr.Robot, but it doesn’t look likely now. I’m trying not to be too sad, though something like Mr. robot wouldn’t have won against The Wire either. Oh well.

cosmotron

Knew this would happen as I hinted. : ) 😭 Just gotta wait another few months it has to win eventually right Isaac… Right? :/ ffs I’m gonna be waiting forever. lol

Melkor

Okay, here’s my pitch for Black Sails for anyone who is voting and maybe hasn’t seen any of these shows. To begin with, Black Sails is only four seasons, so it’s shorter. It’s often compared to Game of Thrones, as it was coming out at the name time, but they aren’t really all that similar aside from in vague terms. (For one thing, Black Sails isn’t fantasy). Though, Both have very complex characters who often do terrible things. Both deal with the ramifications of leadership and politics for where the characters live. And both have a lot of really great actors. However, in my opinion Black Sails ultimately tells its story in a much better way. It’s writing is gorgeous - there isn’t a character on the show who doesn’t at least get one good monologue. The themes it explores would give way to a lot of discussion - it’s not another show that just takes place in the U.S. and deals specifically with its issues: Black Sails is set in the 1700s and was primarily filmed on location in South Africa. It has amazing practical effects including actual ships that were built for the actors to walk on. Okay, and this last bit is in ROT13, it’s a vague spoilers that doesn’t name who it involves or when, but IS something LM and a lot of people in this community would be interested in. The series cerggl tnl, obgu yvgrenyyl naq gurzngvpnyyl, jvgu zhygvcyr aba fgenvtug znva punenpgref.

cosmotron

Rip Black Sails.

Melkor

None of these shows interest me, so I've thrown Black Sails a pity vote. It looks like The Wire will win, though.

Merfhew

I usually watch anime but "the wire" is one of the few tv shows I've watched lol so it'd be cool to see it.

Komikall

Wire is great tv show, but it isn't anywhere near as interesting for reaction videos as Black Sails.

Kristaps Brown

Hoping the wire wins. It’s one of the best TV shows ever.

Jack SV

YES! We need Midnight Mass!

Bryce

Out of these three, The Wire is probably the best show, as it is widely regarded as on of the best of all time. That said, I hope you consider wachting Black Sails soon after. It has amazing writing and characters and I'm sure you girls will love it.

Jesse

I'm pretty sure at least one of them already watched Bleach back in the day, and One Piece is way too long. 2 One Piece episodes a week would take over 10 years to catch up LMAO

tom

Haven't seen The Wire so I'm glad I'll have a great excuse to finally see what the hype is about. Hopefully Black Sails wins next time...

Sauli

I love morally grey charecters so I’m biased but I honestly felt like flint was justified for majority of the shit he did through the show so I’d be exited to see their reaction

Ethan Durant

Last kingdom because of its pace and your love for Vikings.

Cation

I also love the Normies but I didn't want to listen to them seriously discuss The Wire for 60 episodes. This is actually gonna be so fun!

Kara

Aw man I was really hoping you guys would just go into Black Sails since it was second in the poll last time. It’ll never win against The Wire. :( Oh well, maybe someday.

cosmotron

Nice

Andrew

Black Mass! There's dozens of us! DOZENS!

HenryM

When you girls make a new anime poll, please include One Piece and Bleach!

Kizaru

The Wire!

redhawk

I know it's not on the list but I highly recommend The Peripheral on amazon prime. It's a really great sci-fi show and the first season only has 8 episodes.

Gangster Pikachu

Oml, the wire, lets goooo !

Malik

YES the Wire

Phil Wu

Never expected The Wire to be on here wow

HenryM

oh, right, how could i forget lol i was waiting to watch season 2 until your reactions. well, at least i know the wire is a good one even if i haven't watched it. i know many spoilers though. but still will watch :) one day it'll be black sails and midnight mass. i still have hope.

sand_fl

Curious how they’ll take to him whenever they do watch the show. I imagine he’ll be an Askeladd type character (for Vinland Saga ppl) where Lola will love him and Milena will appreciate but not quite love him. Anne is my best bet for their favorite character

Jed U

Black Sails always the underdog... One day Black Sails! Your time will come. Probably my favourite live action tv show of all time!

Sacha

honestly thought black sails would win this time we’ll first watch season 2 of shadow and bone and i don’t know after that, we’ll see

LM Reactions

I think Shadow and Bone is gonna take that slot.

Bryce

Big brain reactors watching Big brain show the wire I cannot believe it, it's like the universe is giving me something that i never knew I needed You'll be the best reactors to the wire ever and it won't be even close (I love the normies too but they are no match)

Mathias Lorétan

Dark

Siti Dee

Barry

Nathan Elkin

How about.. Ted Lasso?

T T T

Honestly idk any of these shows 😂 I'll gladly participate in the next anime one

MinaOrano

The Last Kingdom minority over here. It would be so great to go through all of Uthred’s hardship and sacrifice.

Pongphol Tangcherdchar

Couldn't agree more. The Wire is a perfect show for them.

Michael M

Couldn't find the 4x hxh p/w option 😅

TuiLa4

Same, this will be my first time through the show. All my friends say it's incredible and I love the other "best shows" from that era of prestige TV so I'm excited

Kara

Guess I'm gonna have to try and watch the Wire with you guys live. I tried getting into that show at least five times and I just couldn't do it for some reason. Doesn't help that I ran into a few major spoilers, either...On a sidenote, I feel like Barry should really be on this poll bro.

Tony

The Wire is such an amazing show.

Javen Turner

Thank God it wasn't in the last poll haha

Kara

oh great! xox

Krystal

The Wire is a big surprise. What a masterpiece that show is.

Rynsen

well, there goes another chance for black sails 💀 are you planning on watching another short one now that you've finished the last of us?

sand_fl

we’ll start it next week

LM Reactions

For me, watching you react to The Wire, bringing to it your intelligence, attention to detail, empathy, understanding of human desires, motives, fears, ..., I mean, this would just be, chef's kiss, so deeply satisfying to see. Character drives all.

Chris Oxner

Dang I feel like you ladies would love Black Sails but the Wire is too good to pass up voting for. I voted the wire, maybe Black Sails someday.

Nicholas

we will when we know the release date of season 2 so that we dont have to make a break between the seasons

LM Reactions

YES THE WIREE!!!!!!!

AGrumpyPenguin

It has to be The Wire but sad For All Mankind isn't in the poll. Maybe next time.

Damien Fenton

I'm dead, this is the funniest possible outcome. The Wire completely out of nowhere! I'm still manifesting Mad Men next time, maybe we can do The Sopranos too. RIP Black Sails fans I'm praying for you tonight

Kara

does anyone know if the girls said anything about Shadow & Bone S2?

Krystal

Yeah that’s the other thing the Wire is like 60 episodes so it’s gonna be that for like the rest of the year

My Toasty Toast

Voted for The Wire. Would love to see For All Mankind on a poll someday, too!

Samuel Mooney

The Wire and Black Sails are masterpieces in their owm rights... Black Sails has lesser episodes so u'll catch up sooner 😂 hoping for Black Sails to win!

c01d_h4nds

I mean at the very least it had a good/well-written ending. One of the shows where the writers did not drop the ball as it ended. Wire is good too, I just feel like Mr. Robot is thematically a little too similar right now

My Toasty Toast

The Wire is so good that a sitting president (Obama) invited the creator of the show to the White House and interviewed him personally. Obama called The Wire one of the greatest pieces of - not television - but art created over the last few decades.

Michael M

Yeah, that's just bad luck. Black Sails would have won against most, but the Wire is like putting Breaking Bad on a poll. I miss Silver and them, too :<

Isaac

Black Sails is mad underrated.. Overall better than GoT "according to me"... The Wire is great too...

c01d_h4nds

Sadly Black Sails will never win.. never stood a chance against the wire

Tyler Jackson

So just to be clear: you're still reacting to Severance seeing as how it's not in the poll but you mentioned this in one of your Mr. Robot reactions? It was the best new show of 2022 and Season 2 is coming out later this year.

Andrew

Black sails is so underrated and flint is a god tier charecter

Ethan Durant

Thought the exact same, hahah

tom

Alright whose dick do I have to suck to get Black Sails to win a poll.

Isaiah Cox

Hoping for Black Sails (well, really hoping for something not on the poll yet but maybe next time) but I think I know what will win

tom

Ow, I thought Black Sails would have it clean, but The Wire is a death sentence. Mr Robot couldn't have won against the wire lmao

Isaac

I know it's not on the list but as another commentor said: I also recommed Andor.

menofhorror

One day Black Sails. One day.

Tanner

The Wire is a show that 100% lives up to it's hype and reputation. Truly one of the greatest American TV shows of all time.

David Holmes

Black sails is such an underrated gem. The first season is a little rough, because I think it tries too hard to be “edgy” and “game of thrones,” but it gets its writing and character chops solidly down in season 2 and it’s one of my favorite sleeper shows! We also just finished Mr. Robot, so I kinda want a break from a technology-driven drama

My Toasty Toast

I only know of The Wire, so that.

Anto

The wire is awesome

Harry

I recommend Andor. It’s a masterpiece y’all would love it!

Jesse S

THE WIREEEEE OMG YES
