WOW, what an absolutely fantastic premiere!!!! This episode was so good, the flow and story telling was incredible seeing everything from Rick's side being in the CRM and learning he's attempted escape 4 times. Getting more detail on the A's and B's was really awesome!! Next episode will definitely be Michonne's journey to then finding Rick, then remainder of Season is them fighting back against the CRM and potentially getting more people to join their fight!!!
@NocBroNation I think AMC, the producers and everybody involved, especially Andrew Lincoln made a great decision to produce The Ones Who Live. I thought all along that they should've just made the Rick story a show instead of movies, but I understand what they were aiming for. My opinion it would have been great as movie form, but we all know 2020 changed everything. I think the shutdowns stopped and delayed a lot of projects that were in progress out there. Just like the strike this past year did. Next thing you know years passed by with nothing made yet. I'm just thankful that they were able to round up all the troops to get it done and done right. I think they all knocked that premiere episode out of the park. I thought it was a damn near perfect episode in my opinion. As much as I like Daryl or Carol or Negan, Michonne, Maggie, etc and the other spinoffs. Rick has and will always be the GOAT of TWD period. It started with him and he snuck in right at the end of S11 to start his extended story. In my opinion Andrew Lincoln has always killed it as Rick Grimes. His acting was always so spot on and perfectly believable, especially those emotional scenes. He was cheated out of so many awards during the shows run. Like I said I loved the episode and think it was pretty much perfect. The only thing I would have changed were maybe had it extended a little longer than it already was. Maybe add another 15-20 mins and show him landing hurt in the helicopter and pull a little bit of him reuniting with Michonne in episode 2 into the premiere. But hey I'll always want more and will take a much as they give to us. We've all waited "Years" and it's great to finally see the GOAT back.
@@Barqsmug that scene with Jadis and Huck was amazing. We got some real insight into Jadis's mind and character. And Pollyanna's acting was top notch too!
Worth the 6 year wait fellas! that episode was as close to perfect as it gets, was like a movie. It had everything, I laughed, got jump scared, almost teared up multiple times. If you're someone like myself that has seen every episode of every show in TWD universe, that was a euphoric experience, Bravo to amc
I mean Rick cutting off his own hand is great writing in my opinion, it's unexpected and show's how desperate he is to get home, that thick metal wire wouldn't cut with an axe like that lol.
This episode felt like the writers sat down for a while and gave every detail in-depth thought, which the main show lacked for a while. It was a breath of fresh air and I hope that the writers are able to put this kind of product out each episode.
The A's and B's make complete sense to me. They want to raise leaders from within. Bringing in people like that with independent experience creates a lot more uncertainty and chaos. It's not ideal, but it's so much simpler and way less risky than trying to adapt A's to the city
GUYS--did you notice when Okafor handled some books to Rick and Thorne that the one on top was THE ART OF PEACE...of course that is MORGAN'S book. I think a huge clue Morgan shows up in the end.
Is it? I may have missed this in-lore reference but I basically saw Ouroborous, the snake eating its own tail. While the show makers may have something particular in mind the symbology itself is very common or old. But curious to see if he will!
@@Unknown-ek1ox Well, Alpha wore the Ouroboros symbol on her belt. And since they acknowleged the nukes going off in Texas, as well as Morgan himself saying he’ll go find Rick, it is very likely that Morgan will appear at some point - either in the series finale or future seasons
Andrew Lincoln is an amazing actor. I got that impression as soon as I watched the first episode of TWD. It shameful that the Emmy’s exclude actors from niche series. Lincoln deserves 3 or 4 Emmys for his performances.
Danai wrote and was showrunner for episode 4, which many claim is not only the best episode among the initial 4 but the most emotional. Where the heartfelt conversations ultimately happen between the two. With that information, I'm speculating that Rick & Michonne reeaally get to engage during episode 4.
@@thatgirlwearingglasses Hey know-it-all who doesn't know SHEIT.... she ran THAT episode which was part of the show, as stated by Gimple himself. If you want to dismiss Danai's contributions, for whatever ODD reason, then you'll have to bring a LESS Petty and MORE Substantive point. ;) Ciao
The reason why they went with him cutting off his hand, was to show how desperate he was wanting to escape and to get back to his family. This was just for the fans who criticized on Rick not doing everything to get back. Now we know what lengths he went through on trying to get away. Not many people probably not even 1% of people would cut off their hand to get away. That’s my take. Sure he could have cut the cord , but it wouldn’t been impactful. Great reaction to the both of you. And this episode was just as great as the pilot of the original series
Agreed however I'm sure he would have preferred to cut the cord than his hand my guess the axe would have no or little effect on the cord. High tensile steel no doubt
You've obviously never even seen a steel wire up close, much less touched one or tried to cut it. It's nearly impossible. You would have to use a chainsaw and then MAYBE it would do some damage. And it obviously would draw attention that Rick couldn't afford
@@AlejoConejo-vb8ln look I have no idea why I’m getting blasted! I was making a comment on what NocBroNation said in the video on why Rick didn’t just cut the cord! If you didn’t like my comment, just scroll down
It may not be as iconic as the comic, but I think him losing his hand during an escape shows just how determined he is, how low he was, how powerful the CRM is, and partially why he has been gone so long (after so much triage and recovery periods). I think the function works quite well for the story beyond bad guy does bad thing.
rick cutting his hand off does make sense. he's been attached to that wire for years whenever they'd go out. they wouldn't put a wire on him that could be cut by any weapon, let alone an axe that they give him. in a move of desperation, he cuts off the hand. he cant escape when he's back at the base and he couldn't escape when they went outside of it. so off with the hand. anything to get back to his family. and the place he was in mentally furthers the reason.
LFG!!! Incredible first episode. Honestly one of the best TWDU episodes ever. Well worth the 5+ year wait. Incredible acting. It looked like a damn movie. It needs more than 6 episodes!! RICK GRIMES IS BACK!! I'm so happy we're finally getting comic book Rick with the one hand. I don't get why people are upset with it. He was the only one leashed because he kept trying to escape.
Red light has a lower wave frequency. It's harder to see from a distance, which means less likely to attract walkers, and easier on your eyes, maintaining your night vision. That's why scouts, military, etc all use red lights at night.
@@Iletyoulive no of course not however she never should have left them especially her son. Only a parent like me would understand that. As for the katana sword striking ricks arms I was distracted because of everything that was going on. The scene of the helicopter crash,soldiers dying & the realisation that it was michoone that shot down the helicopter was overwhelming so yes easily done to miss her trying to cut into ricks arm ok
I have never felt so emotional and so unexpectedly euphoric and with a very real feeling to relive a moment of seeing Andrew and Danai return together.😭😭😍😍
One of the best walking dead universe episodes. Rick going from a sheriff to a crm military commander who can fly a chopper 😂. The fact that Rick has spent more time with Okafor, Thorne, Esteban, and Beale than Daryl, Michonne and Carol is crazy. I WANT MORE
I just wanna say, when I watched the series "LOST", I got so invested in it, I thought I could never get into another series again, because it was THAT good, it was a lot, like a lot of time invested and well worth it fir me) Then The Walking Dead came along with all of its spinoffs; I watched them all and enjoyed them all. Each, somehow, connected one to the other. The fact that Major General Beale is played by Terry O'Quinn did everything for me. It came full circle because he also played John Locke in LOST, who happened to be one of the main characters and I LOVED him in LOST. So the only 2 "bigger" series I watched all the way through (with captions on so I didn't miss a beat on both shows) has one of my favorite actors and i couldn't be more excited. Full circle 🔄
It actually wasn't Okafor in the Heli in the finale, bc the person in it says "it's like HE told you Rick, there's no escape for the living" so the person was REFERRING to Okafor, at first i also thought it was him bc i forgot about the "it's like he told you"
@bladepvpz3015 yeah that could be true as well if that phrase is originally from Baele, bc the scene we got in this episode where Okafor says that is clearly not the first time that phrase is said to Rick, someone told him that before he lost his hand, and obviously before his escape attempt in TWD finale
OMG This was absolutely amazing. My heart was pounding as I sat on the edge of my seat. I also loved the nod to Hershel when his friend asked to touch his hand.
It was wow just wow and so worth the wait. That reunion was everything. One of the best premieres to a series ever and seeing Rick again was just fantastic, everything was done so so well, story telling, the score and even the dream of them together, Rick keeping Michonne alive in his dreams, just beautiful. Great review guys, see you next week 😊❤
I absolutely loved this episode!! I'm kind of happy with the hand, as it's a callback to the comics and most importantly, it showed how desperate Rick really felt about his situation. The prosthetic with the knife is also pretty cool! I'm excited to see the rest of the CRM plot play out. Thank you for your reactions, I always look forward to them after each new TWDU episode!
I love this channel man. You guys are the goats. This episode was probably the best since heres Negan episode. I'm so glad to see your guys reaction to such a great episode.
Wanted to put my thoughts here before I watch the reaction. I watched the episode last night. Kept my expectations low so I’d be prepared to be blown out of the water. It was so amazing to see Rick back on our screens. The ambience of the episode was interesting. Gave a clear insight into what the world looked like where Rick had ended up. Dark, gritty, unfamiliar. Obviously this is a Rick we’ve not seen before. Surviving without his family and friends around him. But holding onto that little bit of hope that he can make it back. I’ll post another comment after I watch your reaction NocBro Nation. Thank you for your video.
Yessss! Been waiting on this to drop since they announced the show lololol I absolutely loved the 1st episode!!! Lets see whats in store for us during the next 5 episodes!
Amazing episode. I had the same reaction when I saw the katana. Was waiting for you all to post the reaction video love them. Can't wait for thw next episode
I heard something earlier that made sense…Okafur mentioned the “summit” in a years time, and wasn’t this show going to be called Summit at one point? Just seems as if it could be linked…maybe that’s an endgame scenario? Or one of them? And I liked Okafur! Sad to see him go so soon. He wasn’t perfect but could have been a huge help even though Beale was on to him. Shoot, maybe it was even Beale who shot them down, we don’t know yet. I know michonnes people are there but….u never know. Also, the lack of music and sounds during the moment Rick/Michonne see each other makes it so much more powerful. Just my opinion though haha
I loved it... I actually watched Ep2 before Ep1, some twonk actually said it was the first and when I watched that I thought 'damn this is too damn fast' but after watching the real Ep1, I'm happier. I'm so glad we got the reunion early and didn't have to wait.
What an amazing premiere! Even better than I had hoped for. My theory is Michonne is with the group from Portland that evacuated after the finale of World Beyond. That's why they're fighting the CRM
enjoyed the episode and the reaction. in regards to your question regarding red lights its for combat purposes its not as easily visible to enemies from a distance and it also helps better than other colors of light with night vision
I was intrigued by something that Thorne said....She was serving on a sub with the South African Navy and that she was 'found in the Atlantic Ocean'... what were CRM doing out there, so I'm beginning to think that the theory that they are links to the Pouvoir Du Vivant group in France could be true. And talking subs...there was mention of Philadelphia...which is the same name as the sub from Fear The Walking Dead... admittedly that Easter egg is a bit more tenuous...🤔
When Rick was running trying to escape from the fuel tank..he looked like snake to me..crazy how he completely brought back Rick like he never left..oh and Okafor was reminding me of Denzel Washington lol
I personally loved the way they went with ricks injury, i love how he did it himself and i think it being for "no reason" isnt really true, i mean yeah for us its that way but it really shows how desperate and eager he is to take any opportunity he can get to escape. I also think it being a dumb move was kind of on purpose if that makes any sense, like rick in a clear state of mind would have never made that decision purely based off of how outnumbered he was and how many soldiers were around, he knows he would have never made it but he was so desperate he just did it without thinking, if that makes sense. I personally really loved it.
Hi guys I was just wondering... those books that Okafor gave Rick and Pearl, us the small white book with the circle on it the same book Eastman gave Morgan? I think it was titled "The Art of Peace" It looks familiar to me. Anyway this episode was OUTSTANDING. The Legend is back 👌👍♥️
Absolutely loved the episodes, wish we could have got a bit more from when he left on the helicopter but still an amazing episode. Love your reactions cant wait for the rest of the season and then the Daryl show in the summer this year.
Please do a review of this episode!!! There was so much in the background that I need you guys to break down shot by shot! I watched last night and couldn’t wait for you guys to post your reaction!!! You guys are my faves!!!❤
I wasn't sure how I felt about this first episode, until Michonne showed up at the end. I didn't expect to see her so soon. That scene was impactful and made me care much more about this story.
At first I was annoyed at the alternative meeting of michone dreams. But thought on it more like he was thinking of her holding onto hope that he will see her again and then he had to give up and move past it then the dreams stoped. Them boom just when you give up hope! She's back 🙌🏻
Scott, Danai and Andrew worked on every episode together, if I'm not mistaken - with Episode 4 being written solely by Danai, as well as placed as the showrunner.
Amazing reaction guys. Incredible storytelling, what an episode! Okafor has to have had one of the most impactful performances for a character that only lasted one episode. Maybe only Eastman can rival it! Pumped for episode 2 and seeing Michonne's story!
Now we know why Rick's group was a problem for everyone. They were all As damn near 😂😂 Rick Daryl Michonne Carol Glen Maggie Negan Rosita Abraham Gabriel Connie Yumiko Ezekiel Carl Judith Morgan Sasha It's probably a couple more but y'all get the point 😂
Yeah he would have already tried before realising he couldn't then took off his hand which had the most incredible impact I've seen in the first 5 minutes of a show
Red lights in the dark help protect someone’s night vision, helps keep the pupils open to allow in more light. Gives the CRM soldiers an edge in dark fighting
That'll happen if you bring back your lead and make something actually good, which they've forgotten how to do for years lol. I just hope the whole season lives up to this, fingers crossed!
@@Kiddlow2x The Daryl show was solid, and a step in a much better direction. But I mean something like really good similar to WD during it's earlier peak seasons, where it was *must watch* TV. This felt similar to that imo, I just hope it doesn't fall off.
WOW, what an absolutely fantastic premiere!!!! This episode was so good, the flow and story telling was incredible seeing everything from Rick's side being in the CRM and learning he's attempted escape 4 times.

Loved it! Thought that was how they would finally find each other! Love y’all’s reactions!
25:41 I was the same way, the second I saw that katana I knew who it was. I'd know that sword anywhere, it's hanging on my wall.

Let me know what u think of the start of episode 2, already seen a mistake on the timeline
This episode was a 10/10. The highest quality of writing I’ve seen from The Walking Dead in damn near a decade and the production was absurd
They sound like fireworks.
True
I watch it twice. Yesterday Morning and evening
That goes to show Rick and Michonne have been missed for years
Wait till episode 2! It’s even better, I’m not spoiling anything don’t worry 😁
Jadis knew that Rick was an "A"... she referred to him as a "B" for his own protection, most likely.
And so she could get back in.
Yep! This was confirmed in World Beyond by Jadis!
@@Barqsmug that scene with Jadis and Huck was amazing. We got some real insight into Jadis's mind and character. And Pollyanna's acting was top notch too!
@@csi2448agreed
She did… she mentioned that to Huck in World Beyond

Did y'all notice that Okafor gave Rick the "Art Of Peace" book when he was talking to Thorne and Rick? Same book that Morgan had.
That’s the one he got from the cheese maker correct 🤔
Yes@@Milothew1zard

No otherwise he would have tried or maybe he already tried before. Yeah I think the burning question now been answered is why rick didn't return home.
This episode felt like the writers sat down for a while and gave every detail in-depth thought, which the main show lacked for a while. It was a breath of fresh air and I hope that the writers are able to put this kind of product out each episode.

You notice how his new hand protected it from being hacked off by Michonne’s katana.
Oh, the irony.
No! I didn't see michonne try to take off ricks arm just lifted his helmet that's all

When Okafor said "No more Omaha's" I think he meant no more losing cities and settlements. Can't tell if Okafor knew the CRM did that to Omaha.
If Andrew Lincoln doesn't get awards this time, I'm going to riot. Such a phenomenal actor ❤❤❤

Yeah, I’m sure if Rick could have chosen any other way than cutting off his hand, he would have. He probably tried to gnaw the wire off lol

Fantastic episode and fantastic review!! So looking forward to the next one.
What a great start to the show. Great video guys keep up the great work as always 👌🏾
Much appreciated!
Wanted to put my thoughts here before I watch the reaction. I watched the episode last night. Kept my expectations low so I’d be prepared to be blown out of the water. It was so amazing to see Rick back on our screens. The ambience of the episode was interesting. Gave a clear insight into what the world looked like where Rick had ended up. Dark, gritty, unfamiliar. Obviously this is a Rick we’ve not seen before. Surviving without his family and friends around him. But holding onto that little bit of hope that he can make it back. I’ll post another comment after I watch your reaction NocBro Nation. Thank you for your video.
Yessss! Been waiting on this to drop since they announced the show lololol I absolutely loved the 1st episode!!! Lets see whats in store for us during the next 5 episodes!
The best premier I have seen in a long time. Brava!!
Amazing episode. I had the same reaction when I saw the katana. Was waiting for you all to post the reaction video love them. Can't wait for thw next episode
All these years and Rick had to take off his own hand just like Merle that's full circle
Was totally blown away. It was definitely worth the wait.
I love how authentic this channel is and how y’all respond to the show. I hate spoilers too and I couldn’t wait to see y’all’s reaction!
Might I add that this episode was everything!!!!!!
You guys are the best 😂🤝
I heard something earlier that made sense…Okafur mentioned the “summit” in a years time, and wasn’t this show going to be called Summit at one point? Just seems as if it could be linked…maybe that’s an endgame scenario? Or one of them?
And I liked Okafur! Sad to see him go so soon. He wasn’t perfect but could have been a huge help even though Beale was on to him. Shoot, maybe it was even Beale who shot them down, we don’t know yet. I know michonnes people are there but….u never know.
Also, the lack of music and sounds during the moment Rick/Michonne see each other makes it so much more powerful. Just my opinion though haha
I loved it... I actually watched Ep2 before Ep1, some twonk actually said it was the first and when I watched that I thought 'damn this is too damn fast' but after watching the real Ep1, I'm happier. I'm so glad we got the reunion early and didn't have to wait.
Episode 2 got leaked?
How good is it to have Rick back! and you guys too, of course x
What a reaction! Glad you didn't see any spoilers. I wish you guys would meet up on Sundays to post this Sunday night.
What an amazing premiere! Even better than I had hoped for. My theory is Michonne is with the group from Portland that evacuated after the finale of World Beyond. That's why they're fighting the CRM
Absolutely worth the wait for the episode and I've been waiting all day for your review 😂 well done boys, keep up the fantastic work x
rick and merle are "hand brothers" hahahahaa... darryl and rick are "apocalypse brothers"
Pretty sure the leash wire at the beginning is a metal cable and not a wire. He would have to do a hell of a lot chopping to get through it.
enjoyed the episode and the reaction. in regards to your question regarding red lights its for combat purposes its not as easily visible to enemies from a distance and it also helps better than other colors of light with night vision
Title screen HYPE! Wow I could not have predicted that ending. Chills. Blown away 🤯❤❤❤
I LOVE seeing y’all’s reactions! 😅😅😂😂😂
Watched the episode last night and just been waiting for both of your reactions to it since 😅
When yall said no more Omaha, Rick and them already knew that there was no more Omaha.
Was it just me or was Okafor doing his best Denzel Washington impersonation the whole time? 😂
Someone said he sounded like Idris Elba and I was like nope, that is 100% Denzel😂😂
Damn I thought I was only one who noticed that lol. Great actor though.
I was intrigued by something that Thorne said....She was serving on a sub with the South African Navy and that she was 'found in the Atlantic Ocean'... what were CRM doing out there, so I'm beginning to think that the theory that they are links to the Pouvoir Du Vivant group in France could be true.
And talking subs...there was mention of Philadelphia...which is the same name as the sub from Fear The Walking Dead... admittedly that Easter egg is a bit more tenuous...🤔
When Rick was running trying to escape from the fuel tank..he looked like snake to me..crazy how he completely brought back Rick like he never left..oh and Okafor was reminding me of Denzel Washington lol
Great review of the episode. I can’t wait to see these next 5 episodes.
We already know. It’s gonna be six episodes of flashbacks to get back to episode 1.
I watched it before this but I can't help it I love your guys input an knowledge on twd that I might have missed
I still cant believe Andrew Lincon has not won an award for his acting skills in TWD or this show.
In the military, they use red flashlights because its harder to get spotted at night time than with a regular light.
I personally loved the way they went with ricks injury, i love how he did it himself and i think it being for "no reason" isnt really true, i mean yeah for us its that way but it really shows how desperate and eager he is to take any opportunity he can get to escape. I also think it being a dumb move was kind of on purpose if that makes any sense, like rick in a clear state of mind would have never made that decision purely based off of how outnumbered he was and how many soldiers were around, he knows he would have never made it but he was so desperate he just did it without thinking, if that makes sense. I personally really loved it.
Also, that was 5 years in. He had obviously already exhausted all other options
@@christiannunez6421 yup, super rad
Hi guys
I was just wondering... those books that Okafor gave Rick and Pearl, us the small white book with the circle on it the same book Eastman gave Morgan? I think it was titled "The Art of Peace"
It looks familiar to me.
Anyway this episode was OUTSTANDING. The Legend is back 👌👍♥️
Very strong first episode I'm glad they spent the budget hey did on this show and the story telling is def some of the best we have had in a long time
Him cutting his hand off shows just how desperate he is to get away
You should tell that to the Governor.
Absolutely loved the episodes, wish we could have got a bit more from when he left on the helicopter but still an amazing episode. Love your reactions cant wait for the rest of the season and then the Daryl show in the summer this year.
Please do a review of this episode!!! There was so much in the background that I need you guys to break down shot by shot! I watched last night and couldn’t wait for you guys to post your reaction!!! You guys are my faves!!!❤
This episode was masterpiece
Missed y’all!! Such a great episode, y’all will love episode 2 even more 👀👀👀
Fantastic Review. Did General Beale say that CRM started as the Pennsylvania National Guard?
Any wait to watch the reaction and TITLE SCREEN HYPE! WHOOOOOP
I wasn't sure how I felt about this first episode, until Michonne showed up at the end. I didn't expect to see her so soon. That scene was impactful and made me care much more about this story.
At first I was annoyed at the alternative meeting of michone dreams. But thought on it more like he was thinking of her holding onto hope that he will see her again and then he had to give up and move past it then the dreams stoped. Them boom just when you give up hope! She's back 🙌🏻
Scott, Danai and Andrew worked on every episode together, if I'm not mistaken - with Episode 4 being written solely by Danai, as well as placed as the showrunner.
Andrew, not Anthony
@@cleogriffith9921 Yes... my auto(in)correct is on FIRE right now. ;) lol
Effed up how they made the iPhones a literal paper weight 😂 Papyrus if you will 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing reaction guys. Incredible storytelling, what an episode! Okafor has to have had one of the most impactful performances for a character that only lasted one episode. Maybe only Eastman can rival it! Pumped for episode 2 and seeing Michonne's story!
Now we know why Rick's group was a problem for everyone. They were all As damn near 😂😂
Rick
Daryl
Michonne
Carol
Glen
Maggie
Negan
Rosita
Abraham
Gabriel
Connie
Yumiko
Ezekiel
Carl
Judith
Morgan
Sasha
It's probably a couple more but y'all get the point 😂
All star ✨ team
an axe would take like 10 to 20 swings against a hard surface to break that cable. Rick didnt have a hard surface OR time so.. hand it was haha
What makes you think he hadn’t already tried to hatchet his leash? It’s Rick Grimes?!!
Yeah he would have already tried before realising he couldn't then took off his hand which had the most incredible impact I've seen in the first 5 minutes of a show
I thought i wouldn’t like rick cutting off his has but i like it gives the feeling of how desperate he is
Agreed
Shame it was all for nothing
13:30 lmao that was also the exact same thing I thought when that happened. There’s no way they didn’t know what they were doing with that.
14:22 Rick is even starting to talk like one all of the sudden 🤣🤣🤣
Red lights in the dark help protect someone’s night vision, helps keep the pupils open to allow in more light. Gives the CRM soldiers an edge in dark fighting
I can’t wait for episode 2 and this episode was absolutely incredible.
Love you guys!
Thank you guys it the only way I can watch The ones who live in the UK 🇬🇧
Dude check the ratings the ones who live and the walking dead are getting a ton of people tuning in rn 🔥
That'll happen if you bring back your lead and make something actually good, which they've forgotten how to do for years lol. I just hope the whole season lives up to this, fingers crossed!
@@XxXDestroyerDaryl’s show was really high quality as well, i really enjoyed that entire season. This is just a whole different level.
@@Kiddlow2x The Daryl show was solid, and a step in a much better direction. But I mean something like really good similar to WD during it's earlier peak seasons, where it was *must watch* TV. This felt similar to that imo, I just hope it doesn't fall off.
Where can you check the ratings and viewership
What we’ve been waiting for! 🤘🏻 hyped for the boys.
this is the reaction i have been waiting for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
