*Episodes on the second Patrons Only Google Drive for those who have issues with WeTransfer

**As of 7:15pm, 3x02 is currently uploading to the Drive and it's gonna take a bit (for whatever reason, my internet's fast so it must be a Google thing), so Drive users should probably wait until later tonight or tomorrow.

Comments

Is the Drive still up? How do I find it? WeTransfer is very slow. I know I'm here very late...thank for your excellent reactions!

Help me! I have tried multiple times to download Young Royals Forever, but I doesn’t work.. I have managed to download and watch all of the episodes, but the Forever doesn’t work.. Dors anyone knows what might be the problem?

Kristina

Seriously? i woud be sat listening to that video essay about this show whenever you get around to doing it Brittany - because you're insights an experience are so valuable to understanding storytelling. Your reacts are like a masterclass in and of themselves.

I think Rojda taught Lisa a lot about how to make this show. I don't think YR would be what it was without her. She chose so many of the great cast and crew and even the director for the last 2 episodes of season 2. She has a clear vision of what this show was and she took Lisa's writing and made a great piece of art. Season 3 is slightly diferent toanally but I think she laid so much good groundwork that eveyone knew what they were doing in the 3rd season. Rojda's ideas to use diverse, mostly female, swedish music for the soundtrack that contrasted with the world but made it modern, was perfect. You're right, she doesn't get as much notice because hse hasn't been involved with promotion since season one except for this documentary.

Dionne Lakey

Thank you for these

Dionne Lakey

Finally got around to watching season 3 yesterday and just knew I had to see your reactions. I'm so glad the show got the amazing ending it deserved!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and insight! It was a blast, wasn’t it. As you predicted at the end of S2, I was ended at the end of S3. Yes, it should be studied, and it has plenty of originality, but some credit also goes to SKAM from which Young Royals got inspiration (on multiple levels). If you really haven’t seen it yet, I think you will enjoy it. Each season can stand on its own, it is Season 3 that you might want to watch and a version with a good translation (subtitles) can be found here https://skamenglishsubs.tumblr.com/tagged/season3/chrono Thanks again for sharing!

Hay Vee

I absolutely love the 1 year anniversary idea you had! This series means so much to so many people, all the extra stuff is very welcome! <3

Susana del Mar

Anyone know where to find all the songs in S3, a list of them

Leslie

I truly believe that Lisa and the director intentionally placed the lake scene on the very last day to get the most emotion out of this important scene. If you then consider that Omar and Edvin's dialogue was completely improvised because they knew their characters so well, it makes the whole thing even more impressive

miniadler

Dang, you should've asked us for the file with the swedish audio, I would've gladly shared it with you. You should've watched it in italian for the lulz. 😆 Oh well, next time! I honestly feel like Rojda (creative director Seasons 1&2) doesn't get enough credit. She came up with a lot of the tone and vision that distinguishes Young Royals from so many other shows. It's also why I think S3 tonally feels a bit different from the past 2 seasons: she wasn't a part of S3 😔. I leave a link to a lovely and more in depth interview with Rojda https://youtu.be/MfU2EISWxBc?si=ZFTFGdgERjlZ0ke0 (this channel also has interviews with the writer and showrunner Lisa, the cast and even the Intimacy Coordinator)

Susana del Mar

AHHHHHH I LOVE YOU THANK YOU <333

Brittany Diamond

When I mentioned to Lisa that I had noticed that, she wrote back: "😭❤️❤️❤️😇😇"

Edvins playlists for Wille are on his Spotifyprofile.

Emma Axner

Ooooo good catch! I'm *deeply* excited to rewatch the series all at once now that I know where it's all going.

Brittany Diamond

It was a capital R the whole time and they fooled us into thinking it wasn’t for like 45 minutes

Leslie

Brittany, with your talent for dramaturg (or, in the case, cinematurg) I'm guessing you haven't missed one of Lisa's signatures. Simon's line at the end of episode 5, "I can't do this anymore." is what Wille said in season 1 when he breaks it off with Simon after Erik's death. Echoes.

Dennis Verner

Thank you for this wonderfully honest emotional reaction. I'm so glad you loved this show. I look forward to seeing your reaction to the documentary. I also recommended the cast question and answer session from the live screening of the final which is on Netflix Nordic you tube channel.

Jayne Riley

I love that not only is Omar an actor in the show but is also Young Royals biggest fan. He seems focused on his music and business atm but I hope he does more acting in the future.

Kaly

Can we please highlight Simon's heart of gold? What the poor guy had to go through especially this season and then he writes a farewell song in which he gives his "ex-boyfriend" tips on how he can find himself and inner peace?! This third season was a real rollercoaster of emotions and, in my opinion, the best of the entire series. This also applies to the acting of the entire cast, but mostly Omar, especially considering it was his first work in front of the camera!

miniadler

I was sobbing throughout ep5 and 6. Im so devastated that it ended but so happy with the way it ended and how we got our own closure with these characters. The last scene where Wilhelm breaks the fourth wall and looks at us got me crying for the next 5-10 minutes. He looked so happy and he is so happy and following his story throughout the seasons and getting here to that moment made me feel so many things at once. Im so happy I got to watch and be there for this masterpiece all these years. I'm so glad I got to watch this all over again with you, just bc its a pleasure to watch this with someone who truly gets all the perspectives or views of the characters which was so well written. I'm gonna miss them so much but I'm happy we got to see the ending of their story.

Maria

This both devastated me and filled my soul with joy. That’s how you end a series. That’s how you run a series. So many tears. So, so, so many tears! There are parts of this that could be turned into graduate degrees. The red light symbolism alone tied to the red rope light in Wille’s room, is enough for a PhD. Those lights tell the entire narrative. From day one! Kudos all around. Still crying. Thank you so much for reacting to these. It’s like watching with a like minded, sappy friend. lol 💜

MuggleMeTrue

A pleasure to watch alongside you this phenomenal show. So happy you're one of few reactors, if not the only one, that recognizes this show for the masterpiece it is 💜👑💜

Susana del Mar

Yeah I'm pretty sure she didn't notice

Susana del Mar

I fully agree with the other comments, if you haven't seen Skam, you absolutely have to watch it!! It's a masterpiece, and that word doesn't even cover it. And same can be said for s3 to s7 of SkamFrance.

Anne M.

Thank you for getting these up. And thank you for the finalé tonight and crying with me.

Dennis Verner

btw wasnt sure if u noticed but the choir sang simon's song from s2 (the one that the school didnt allow to be sung in the s2 finale) which is why simon and wille were confused at first. such a touching moment (:

Roj

well...i was crying with u watching the finale. its so beautiful

Roj

and the rest of the cast was even in the audience for support!

Yasmin P.

Just because you've mentioned before that you really like Simon's singing - Omar did a performance with the Hillerska Choir as part of promotions for Young Royals around season 1 (if you'd like to check that out): https://youtu.be/BgJ8KGBmjbM?si=KbnAvFEkNPfF2nys

Yasmin P.

Ugh, god. People suck

Susana del Mar

can you react to skam france season 3! I only watched season 3 so I don't know if you'd like those seasons but please watch season 3!

Justin Gil

Yeah in the Teen Vogue interview last week - she took the comments from speculation about Edvin and Omar's private lives

Dionne Lakey

Omg yes please, I absolutely love SKAM!! And while it’s true that only the third season is the queer centric one, the same characters are in all of the seasons so the main character of season 3 is still in all the other seasons as well, even though they don’t have as big of a role in them.

Helmi

kind of a spolier?

WARNING: Have tissues ready for eps 5 & 6

Susana del Mar

Since you like young royals, I imagine you will like the Norwegian series SKAM. I think the tone and storytelling in young royals is influenced by SKAM. The whole series is not queer, only the third season but watching the whole thing is such a treat. I really think you might enjoy the storytelling choices and the pacing…etc When SKAM was airing it became a true phenomenon and got remade and adapted in a lot of different countries.

Yowela M

You have to react to the behind this show! It’s called young royals forever and it’s amazing!!

Maria Truedsson

Holy shit, are you serious?! Lisa said that???

Susana del Mar

Lisa's writing always echoes. So, with episode 5, watch for the echoes.

Dennis Verner

I read an interview where the writer mentioned she pulled negative comments to use under Simon's posts either verbatim or paraphrased from things people wrote online about the cast members, which is... ouch.

Rowan Cannell

well at least you're willing to give it a shot! that's a lot more than most. good luck 🍀

tova~

Yes, thank you for that. I am trying to learn Swedish (because of YR) but it's slow going. We Americans are very English-centric, I'm afraid.

Dennis Verner

yes, the Swedish "i natt" could be translated to both "last night" and "tonight" depending on context, but since the verb for "dream" is in the Swedish past tense, it makes the "i natt" mean "last night" (hope that makes sense haha)

tova~

I was glad to see your translation of the last line. Google translate gives , "armed and strong, tonight" I'm sure it's a context thing and thought that the correct translation that makes sense would be "last night." A Swedish speaker would know that. Thank you.

Dennis Verner

I can´t watch on transfer, were can I find your reactions on google drive? thank you :)

Anna

Saw that right away. Another touch by Lisa. The ending stanza makes my heart hurt. And the Queen says "Sluta!" to Wilhelm for the second time. She sees him only as a child.

Dennis Verner

Wille put up the opening stanza of a well-known Swedish poem by Karin Boye (a queer writer mentioned last season as well) on his wall towards the end of ep 1, along w a picture of him and Simon. it was only a quick shot and obviously wasn't translated in the subtitles, but it put a smile on my face when I saw it, so I wanted to share a translation of it here too for anyone who might be interested: I dreamt of swords last night. I dreamt of battle last night. I dreamt I fought by your side armed and strong, last night.

tova~

$120k is life changing for me, but then I'm also not a divorced mom with two kids, this is true.

Brittany Diamond

Don't have access to WeTransfer or the second Google Drive? Neither? The Drive was likely still processing the file, the time it takes them can vary.

Brittany Diamond

Google Drive may have been processing the file at the time. Since it's been a few hours, give it another try? If it still gives you trouble let me know exactly what it's telling you and I can help. <3

Brittany Diamond

I can't watch it?! Neither on we transfer or Google drive 😔 And I love your reactions! Have to settle for YouTube for now I guess

Erika

::FLAILS::

Maria Lima (aka chickwriter)

Love your reaction as usual! Can't wait for the rest (except I can because your health comes first, but you get me :P)! This season is...a lot. But when is it not.

Elliot

coming back to say i loved watching your reaction and i missed you! haha

jazz

You seemed shocked at the 1,2 million compensation, and I don´t know if you realized that that is 1,2 million in Swedish kronor which is only about 120 000 american dollars.

Cecilia

i haven't been managing to keep up with reactions this year, but i'm back for young royals! it was watching your reaction videos last january that got me into the series and it's been my main fandom since then. i've even gotten to a point where i can read a bit in swedish! <3

jazz

I don't have access.
