if you love this show and still haven’t watched Ruby Red, this is your sign! 💌
haven’t watched Ruby Red but heard a lot of people talking about how it is rlly similar to maxton hall. Now that you said it I think I gotta watch 🤭😋
I will 100% do it if you can sum the chapters and make it more easier to know what happens. And speak it in English to us all please and thank you
Yk what's funny. A few weeks ago, I was literally looking for Ruby Red😂
i love ruby red!! and im so happy that more ppl get to watch it
Yeah please watch Ruby Red, I absolutely love it! 😍 But the books are even more incredible!🤩
He drew HER HOUSE while he was waiting for her outside 😭❤ that's why they were looking at each other awkwardly after the sketchbook fell
i focused too much on his smiles to notice this! this is an insane detail!!! 👀
I think part of the reason the romance feels good is that it's all chemistry and tension, instead of lust. It takes SO LONG for them to even have their first kiss, and it doesn't matter.
its the natural chemistry that made me love the show so much! i thought it was going to be cringy but i LOVED it so much!
facts!
I also expected it to be cringe because normally I'm not into ahows like tsitp but it's actually so good
All I can think is... "honey, you got a big storm coming."
I’M SCARED, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 👀🫢
It took only 8 hours of my life to finish this masterpiece. Im out of wordsssss.
can’t wait to finish the show 🤭
"I have a crush on him. I don't even like blondes" Felt the exact same way there XD
This episode is one of my favourites because both actors can truely show all the emotional range in their play. So much going on in that one. The stair moment in the dress reminded me of that Delena moment from TVD.
So beautiful! Also the pool and car scene broke me! And then the music started and I was an even bigger mess!
Mortimer, the father, is my least favourite person...Obviously!
Just finished the first book and I am so happy that the show is so book accurate! Happens rarely these days!
We need another season! Onto the next book now ^^
Regarding the spicy: there is definitely some development there but in the book there is definitely more.
However, all the more intimite scenes in the show are done very gracefully imo. You will see!
I think they found the perfect balance to make it watchable for more or less all audiences.
Damian and Harriet do a phenomenal job!
Also yesterday I saw a video where they mention that Maxton Hall is No. 1 show in 68 countries! That's mental! What an absolute success for the German author Mona Kasten and everyone involved in the show!
Anyway, enough talking!
Can't wait to watch the rest of your reactions ! :)
omg, i’m obsessed with your comments! 🫶🏻
i’m so excited to read the books, even more if they have at least a little bit of spice 🤭 what’s a girl gonna do?
OMGGGG! this is so sick, i think it guarantees S2! they slay hard, but also Prime is so good with their PR, and how they really market the show in every country! 👀
also have fun reading the rest of the books! 🤍🤍
@@reactswithria They heard us and just confirmed S2 today!!! So happy about it 🥰
Congratulations!🎉
I loved this episode. It was my favorite of the 6. Their rlsp dynamic progressed so much but it didn’t feel rushed. It flowed so well.
The pool scene was perfection. That death glare he gave Cyril. How gentle he was holding & comforting her. Her being vulnerable and explaining her trauma around water & her dad’s accident. And yes he did shed that one tear bc he just doesn’t know what to do. He knows his dad won’t approved and he can’t protect her but he doesn’t want to let her go either.
the pool scene could’ve been so typical, but they did such an amazing job with it! OBSESSED!
i re-watched the car scene while editing and him crying broke me…
My heart just literally hurts for them after the ending scene! The ACTING!! He was definitely crying 😢because he's a gentle soul and we are all here for it ✋This episode was the definition of the roller coaster and I can't wait to watch with you the rest of this beautiful story ❤
i re-watched the closing scene while editing, and HE IS ACTUALLY CRYING! 🫢
i love them so much already, it hurts… thank you for being here with me! suffering is better with a company…🤍
@@reactswithria ❤ Thank you for sharing your reactions with all of us!! I'm definitely not OK after this series and I need mental support group to survive until season 2 😆BTW, I totally agree, that everything is progressing so fast, but at the same time doesn't feel rushed! Every episode is just the perfect amount of emotions, beauty, vulnerability and great music!
Their chemistry kills me ...😢❤
2:35 I don't know if you realize this but it's her house that he drew, that's why she reacts this way
OMG! I DID NOT! 🫢
What?????😱, eu assisti essa serie 3 vezes ja como eu n percebi isso, assisti pulando as cenas
i’m obsessed with this show, i need another season and more than 6 episodes 😭
When he started kneeling I- see the thing is I’m watching this every other day too (cause exam season) so I get it ITS SO TOUGH and the show is so stupidly good 😩❤️
so we are suffering together then! 🫂
I'am 52 years old and you describe exatly all the feelings I have watching it. It's so intense. And the leading actors' chemistry is insane. They express so much only with their eyes. How they put the story together...it's pure magic. Soundtrack, setting, storyline...perfectly done. Hope, they take their time for season 2 and don't rush through the story. Thank you for your videos.
thank you for watching with me!!! 🤍
same, we can wait if s2 gonna be as gorgeous as s1!!
Oh, this episode... I could write an essay about the way that James looks at Ruby alone, with an annex about that feral look he thrown at Cyril. Those eyes need an acting credit of their own.
So glad you talk about the music! The original soundtrack and the music choices fits so good (thinks about the build up to that dancefloor scene), I've already add a few tracks to my playlist.
Since you ask:
***Caution, might be a SPOILER***
Yes, there's a high level of spice ahead but quality over quantity is the best way to put it.
ps: Mortimer sucks and Alistair needs to lock up her sister
you are the real one for the spoiler warning! 🫂
omg, i’m so excited to see it all now! also hardly agree on everything! idk if some other episode’s gonna top this one 👀
"Those eyes need an acting credit of their own." 🤣🤣 I know - the guy can act, right?
“IT WASN’T A WATER BED” 😳
OH BOYYYY 👀
This ep is def my favorite of the season and I was so excited for you to see it!! 😄 their chemistry esp during the dress-up scene and the pool scene......unmatched truly. Can't wait for your reaction to the last 3 eps!!
i’m scared to react to the last 3! 🫢
I was looking forward to your reaction to this episode. There are so many great scenes, and you had all the same responses that I did. I'm glad you mentioned his acting and the emotion in his eyes. I think that's what makes the progression of their relationship so believable.
awww, it’s so adorable that we are twinning with the reaction! 🤍
Love your reactions!❤ This is an amazing show I love the chemistry
thank you for watching! 🤍✨
the show is SO MUCH better than i expected it to be 🫢
In the book their relationship develops over months but I don’t think that it feels rush in the show, even though there their relationship only develops over a few weeks I think
Ps: can i just say, i am loving this floppy hair trend - it is so retro 90's .... like if you ever go back and watch 'My So-called Life' from the 90's... Jared Leto as Jordan Catellano! ❤❤❤ Now we have Conrad, Cole, and now James all rocking this hair... and it looks so good on all of them!
YES! i’m obsessed 🤭
I cannot get enough of that hairstyle!
FAV EPISODEEE AHHH THE DRESS? THE VIBE? THE CHEMISTRY???? OMG love ur video btw xxx
THEY SLAY SO HARD!
thank you so much!! 🤍
by far my favourite episode. Just hits all the right spots and leaves you completely captivated. Also, no one saw this coming...
Wow, love your reaction as always😂i was giggling with you the entire time, it seems like i was watching the show for the 5th time again ahahah
thank you for watching with me! 🤍
The lighting and fits in your vids are always immaculate 🎀🩷🫶🏼
AWWW! thank you so so much, i’m glad i don’t do all the prep for nothing! i really appreciate it!! 🤍✨
OMG IT’S SHUCH A GOOD SHOW! 🤩CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU REACTION TO THE NEXT EPISODES ❤🤭
This fact that this show is more accurate to the school for good and evil books than the actual movie adaptation is, really says something lol
i haven’t read or watched it, i remember tuning in for the movie, and the cgi just scared me away it was so bad 🥲
@@reactswithria you should read the books so good! Agatha and Tedros (in the books only lol) definitely have Ruby and James vibes
I luv how he jumped in to save her ❤
it happens so fast, but it feels so good - yes, you said it right!! ❤
helluu,
so I read the books when I was 17 and I absolutely love them. Mona Kasten is just a great author for writing classic romance stories in which clichés don't feel like clichés. Her writing style, at least in German, is great which led me to read nearly every book she published. She is the queen of comfy, very round romance stories.
Maxton Hall is one of the best romance book adaptions I have seen in a while. Somehow I can really sense Mona Kasten as an author or more likely the vibe of the book in the show. Some parts are of course a bit different but over all it is just great.
Honestly, I was surprised by the spice level they showed. Maybe I´ve been watching too many k-dramas lately but I felt like I wasn't supposed to see this much intimacy.
The actors are really great casted, even tho I initially wasn't 100% happy with both main leads. As soon as I saw the first bts pictures of them in character I was on board. I only knew Damian Hardung (James) before the show and he is honestly really interesting. He is not only a great actor but also studied medicine on the side and graduated faster than the estimated regular study time, also he is into climate change/environmental activism. Like wtf.....
AND HOW YOU RECOMMENDED RUBY RED ahhhhh, ruby red and the insane crush I had on Gideon reigned my early teens..... :)
oh, thank you so much for sharing this with me! 🤍
i can’t wait to read the books, but i’m so scared the translation will be NOT GOOD 🥲
but have read one of her books a few years ago and like it!
YES! if i’ll succeed in showing Ruby Red to new people, my job - ✅
10:33 same girl i will bring up taylor-and right now ruby is in her so high school era
Thank you very much for watching it in the original language with subtitles. I am german and the subtitles are pretty accurate, but the synchronization
isn't, so I'm glad you did it this way.
will always prioritise originals with subs! 🤍
I'm so happy that you know Ruby Red bc when I watched Maxton Hall I felt the same as you, there are so many similar things.
Ruby Red is my personal classic 🤭
YEAH "he is blond" and we are Team James, Team Cole and Team Conrad !!! so excited for the next ep !!
we are screwed, babes 🥲
I love your reaction! Your comments reflect exactly all of my thoughts when I first watched this series ❤ I'm gnawing at my enclosure waiting for your next video fr
thank you for watching!! 🤍
Second season is confirmed 🥹🥹🥳
I cant with your swiftie way of talking😂 this is sooo me❤😅
i love how i find my people (swiftie crackheads) this way! 🤠
@@reactswithria oh you definetely do😁
I loved this Episode so much. Especially the whole party.The way he saved her is much more better then in the book... And I have a huge crush on him as well but I normally don't like blonde boys... I can't wait for the other reactions. It will be emotional and spicy👀💚. Oh and there is an official playlist from Prime Video with the soundtrack on Spotify🫶🏼
can’t wait to finish the show and read the books! booked and busy, am i? 🤭👀
oh, literally just added the playlist, idk why i haven’t done it before, thanks for reminding me!! 🫶🏻
PLEASE DO MORE I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! (especially since i don't have prime, so i can't stream it. I HEAVILY rely on your thoughts!!)
I felt that he cried at the end for being guilty , every time she is with him she suffers for something … we have to think that also was a party where probably He was under drinks or drugs too 😂we all know that At night after a party everything feels different . 🤷♀️ more intense maybe , but that is the freaking good acting they all have in this show !
OMG I love Ruby Red and the other two Movies smm (btw I love your videos, they‘re so comforting 🫶)
I’m gonna re-watch Ruby Red the first thing after I’m done with all the reactions for the month!!! 🤭
and THANK YOU! 🤍
If I remember it correctly, the pacing in the book is slower. They put events together and stuff. Originally the ball was for Halloween, so it’s a little slower
reading the books as soon as i finish reacting to the show, so i’m excited to find out 🤭
I usually dont like this tyoe of show but I'm really enjoying it so far.
I also dont like blonds but I literally fell in love with him and then read all the books in a single weekend😂
Phenomenal Video Ria Keep Up The Fantastic Work
I can not wait for episode 4 with you - i think you can not get out of swooning 🙂
awww, it makes me wanna work faster, ‘cause i know someone’s waiting for it! 🤍✨
@@reactswithria Indeed I do. I can´t tell you how big a fan i am of your channel. I live alone and I can also get suuuuper excited when watching cute TV shows. So usually I sit alone on the sofa and squeak like a guinea pig with a pulse of 180, but no one there to share the hype with. Until I´ve found you. Over-reacting together from now on.😀
@@Joelina456 i am myself a very lonely fan girlie, so this is why i talk to my camera with a hope of some company to mumble about all of this! i guess we a match! 🤭
I just found your account and I LOVE every second of your reaction. That's exactly how I reacted when I watched it for the first time and it feels like I finally found a friend to share all of my emotions while shipping them sooo hard 😍
this warms my heart, thank you! 🤍
i need all 3 episodes tomorrow please xx
Ahhhhh!! I love this show so much. Already watched it twice.
You should totally read the books and do a vlog about it!! 😍
will do this upcoming week!! 🫶🏻
loving your react videosss the show keeps serving
thank you for watching!!! 🤍
Love your reactions ❤❤. The whole episode I was just smiling 🥰🥰.
🤍🤍🤍
I LOVED THIS SHOW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS UPLOAD QUEEN
🤍🤍🤍
that why is my favorite episode in this show because alllll whole is so beautifully!!!!
same!! 🤭
i don’t think something else can top it, but will see? 👀
@@reactswithria I'm so excited for you for the rest of three episodes left because this is gonna be so good- 🤭
always love watching ur reaction vids and this one especially, literally giggling and kicking my feet with you heheh
awww, thank you for keeping me company!! 🫂🤍
Omg now that you've said it, the dressing up scene does indeed have some parallels with the one(s) in Ruby Red! I also love these movies so much🥰
omg, THANK YOU for acknowledging this!!
I really hope we get to hear and not only see Damian play piano next season. That guy is seriously a man of many talents.
i’m scared of him! 🤭
@@reactswithria there doesn't seem to exist much that he can't do 😅
Omg yes please do a reading vlog of the books!!❤
i guess we’re going this!! 🤍
first: i love your videos.❤❤ everything you say i feel it. like even if everything about this series was sh*t: i'd still watch it 5 times in a row just cuz of the soundtrack and the aestetic (or however u spell that🙄) and actually, elaine isn't even a big part in the books. yes the beginning scene is correct but after that she appears like one time and that's it. Elaine even being in maxton hall is not in the books. she already graduated and is not at all: don't u dare spending time with james our daddys decided that we are gonna marry when we were like 3. it was pretty much dramatized in the series😂
hahaha, thank you, babes! and SAME!
ohhh, i’m only started reading today, so i guess i’m relieved she’s not gonna be an issue!!! 🤠
Even though "The Bolter" is a cheeky, clap back song whilst Ruby's backstory is heart-wrenching, I will still add it to my personalized "Maxton Hall" inspo playlist just cuz that one first line of the song is too specific to be discarded and it gives teen preppy, angst vibes.
thank you for acknowledging this! i’ve been seeing The Bolter all over since episode 1 🫢
Loving your comments on this show, and in such agreement with you! I do wish they had given it more than 6 episodes though! 10 episodes would have been perfect! I mean, my life with the walter boys for example was 10 episodes, but i thought it should have been less, because some of the episodes nothing really happened. I guess netflix gives shows a bit more leeway than amazon prime! I hope that when they do the second season of MH that they extend the number of episodes....and they will definitely give us a second season, i have no doubt about this.
Also, can we just talk about the chemistry ❤... i mean, it is off the charts! He is so handsome too, it is the vulnerability you see coming through which makes him even more appealing! Swoon!
I would definitely say to watch this show in german language with subs, because the dubbing is awful! I know they are trying to keep it real to the roots of the book by having them speak German, but i do think the show would reach even more people if they had spoken English! Also, what is up with the book not having english versions yet? Amazon have missed a HUGE marketing opportunity there! They need to get those books published in english asap! Thank you for your reactions fabulous as always! 😊
gosh, just sitting here agreeing to all of the things you wrote here!
i really hope we’ll get s2, ‘cause i see what they are doing branching out different departments of Prime Video, like with Culpa Mia in Spanish, it’s super cool they market them internationally tho!!! with the books tho… big big mistake on their part (idk who’s ‘cause Amazon doesn’t control publishers? i think?), but they really need to fix it!
thank you for watching! 🤍
❤@@reactswithria
yep, i think it is good that european languages are being promoted more internationally, for sure! And the whole enemies to lovers trope.....I am such a sucker for it! 😂it is the same with all the SKAM shows, I was addicted to those! The OG - William and Noora!😂😂😂
But the interactions in MH between the two main characters is on another level! So so good!
Also, i think with the amount of money Amazon have they could ring up the author and publishers to get the books out in english in seconds! I think they are just wanting to build up the demand factor with the fans! Keep them hanging on and max up the interest in the show as much as possible first @@reactswithria
Ria, we need your reaction for 5. and 6. episode - please! This is so good!!
coming your way friday!!! 🤍🤍
also would LOVE to see a reading vlog of these books since there is no english translation, so upset I can’t read it😭
it would be so fun for me to read them with you! 🤭
@@reactswithriayesss omg
I do not speak German and I’m usually not a huge a fan of watching stuff with subtitles or having it dubbed over in English cause I usually find it a bit weird to watch like that but I absolutely LOVED this show! I can’t wait for the next season ❤
i definitely get it!
for me it’s much easier ‘cause i’m watching everything with subtitles even now, since my english is not 100% perfect, so it helps to learn every day 🤭
Love your reaction ria❤ this is my favourite episode of the series. The dance scene was really cute. There is playlist available on Spotify of this series. And there are interviews of damian and harriet on youtube, going to watch them.🙌
thank you for watching! 🤍
i am slowly consuming all the content they release!
It is REALLY GOOD ❤
Yes, there is a spotify playlist ❤
Smh that I wished that they had done is have them speak in British since the main actors speak English. Also since it's set in The U.K. But ig I get why they did it this way bc the book is written in German. Other than that, I'm obsessed with the outfits in this show and the soundtrack!! I agree, I want to hear Taylor Swift so bad😭
i just heard Damian speak perfect English…👀🫢
but i guess German Prime Video needed to have their own production!
I still find it so weird watching German spoken in the UK but, it feels like an alternate reality where German is the universal language (not English.)
There is a English dubbed version where they speak British accents
i love that they speak german, i feel it wouldnt hit the same in english
I can say something nowadays shows make me cringe, but the show was different. It didn’t make me cringe one bit.
idk how they managed this, but they did! there’s a perfect level of everything!
Yeah, it is like the perfect adaption of a novel, they improvised things and scenes from the novel and end up making them more meaningful and emotional, it's just perfect.
Watching your videos feels like meeting with a friend for Friday Netflix😊
THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT EVER!
exactly why i do all of this, thank you for coming to these watching sessions at my place! 🤭🤍
5:42 yeah, I feel the same. In a short time, their relationship changed, but it's not seem rushed at all
Yes please you have to read to us the books 😊❤❤
guess we will!
I loved the show went to buy & read the books but no English versions yet 😢
this is a crime!!! 💀
You should watch SKAM season 2, its perfect enemies to lovers like here. Its a Norvegian series. very popular in europe. Definetly maxton hall vibes. Sorry for my english, and William in SKAM is a crush
was literally OBSESSED with noora and william! i watched as an OG, like every day a little piece 🤭
No but when she said do you have a second I actually just saw a little smile when he saw her
HE WAS HAPPY YO SEE HER!!!
@@reactswithria his smile was like a little grin but their tension and chemistry is insane .I can’t stop smiling at the part when they both have eye to eye contact then they start dancing
I’m waiting for book 2& book3 to be a yes
I'd love to see a reading vlog🤍
it’s coming! (hopefully soon 💀)
Please do the book I wish I could read German
will do!! 🤍
If you watched shadow hunters that's probably why the soundtrack is familiar
sure did! 🤭
riaaaaa
first off : LOVELY review
secondly, have u reviewed culpa Mia? if not WATCH IT NEXT PLEASEEEEEE
i am waiting for a good review onnit ❤
thank youuu! 🤍
ahhh, i watched it by myself last year! but i’m thinking maybe we could re-watch it together here? especially ’cause i’m planning to react to Culpa Tuya in December? 👀🤭
@@reactswithria riiiii pleaseeeee
your next vids (after maxton hall) SHOULD be culpa mia
❤️❤️
we’ll see, k? 🤍
i’ll try my best!!
@@reactswithria yup
Hola!!! En la proxima reacción podes activar los subtítulos en español??? Gracias ❤️❤️❤️
i wish i could, but the show is in German, I need the English subtitles to understand it myself 🥲
I think one criticism of the show I have is that we see exactly why James falls for Ruby but not much of a perspective of why Ruby likes James, she obviously likes him because she was anxiously picking her clothes when he showed up at her house but where did that come from?
i see what you mean here! 👀
i feel like it’s a lot to blame on the passing of the show, like from what i know, in the books the events take place over a couple of months! here it’s weeks i believe? we definitely miss some “forced proximity” feelings changes 🤭
@@reactswithria I'm nitpicky though, the chemistry between them is convincing enough to make me ignore some small flaws😂
omg you watched ruby red??? i didn’t understand, do you have reactions??? if yes, POST THEM
i don’t have a reaction, but they are my comfort movies!! 🤭
Madame Rossini = Tristan, there I said it
YES! SLAY! 🤍
The only bad thing is that it only had 6 episodes 🥲🥲
Thank you for watching the show in their original language! 🤍
absolutely always (if possible) 🫶🏻
