So much tension, so little time...

TENSION. This is the thing that Young Royals has that Heartstopper doesn't. You picked the right term. 🙌
yessss ugh it's insane how well they do it too
i wouldn't say there's no tension in hearstopper - its just a lot more subtle and less dramatic than in young royals - both do it well in a way that fits the tone of their shows.
stop put down heartstopper to uplift other, heartstopper is best
@@digjayanatanagarakaka7045 says to not compare two shows… then compares them 💀
@@digjayanatanagarakaka7045 for teen 8-13
I love how Heartstopper cast and Young royals being good friends to each other like you can see their interaction on Instagram. It’s just too cute.
There was a twitter exchange a few days ago between all four of them that just basically killed us 😂😂
I love hearing when casts like this are close with each other
WAIT REALLY? THATS SO CUTE
@@fireatwilliam yeah they keep telling Netflix they want a crossover episode
One thing I will tell you about this show is that your impressions of people will change throughout the show. People you thought were great turn out to be not so great. And people who give you a terrible first impression end you being one of your favorites. And some people just can’t help being terrible 🤷🏼♀️.
I really want to talk about what you say about Vincent after you watch episode 5. Because it’s actually quite significant.
And your reaction to the kiss is exactly why we wanted you to watch this show. The tension you can cut with a knife and the chemistry.
Sweden is very open with marriage equality and since Young Royals came out, the monarchy has explicitly said that same sex marriages are not an issue for Swedish royalty.
THISSSSS!
oh wow thats cool of the swidish monarchy to actually do
@@hyungwonniebebe6576 the Dutch monarchy also said same sex unions are not an issue for their royals either.
@@hyungwonniebebe6576 and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden actually won the Hetero of the Year award at the QX Gay Gala last year. She is very beloved by the lgbtq+ Community in Sweden. Side note- this year’s Gay Gala was last week and Young Royals won Series of the Year and Omar and Edvin won Duo of the Year!
@@jenniferbrinks6552 thanks for the info!! thats so fuckin cool and congrats to the creators of youngroyals and omar and edvin for winning!!!! its well deserved!
This happy giggle when their fingers met during the film is just so cute.
haha I couldn't hold it in xD I loved that part
The thing is that he Wilhelm doesn’t have a problem with himself being gay it’s that him being in the Royal Family a prince has to have an heir for the throne and when your gay there is no blood heir. And his mother and father will then get press that is unwanted by the Royal Family. Just wait for it with further episodes…. He is being monitored and all eyes are on him. And August is like his “body guard “ of sorts… August has to protect the Royal Family. You have to keep in mind Wilhelm is a Prince but not the crowned prince.
The thing about all these characters is that they are so complex and nuanced. They all have flaws and they all make good and bad choices. Every character could have a spin off with how much context there is to their characters. They are so REAL. None of them play just a stereotype, they are complex and they change and often you learn they are not who you first thought they where. It’s all a huge credit to the writer, the director and the actors working so flawlessly together. The writing, directing/cinematography(man I could talk about some of the shots, editing, music for ages) and the acting of this show is sooooo freaking well done. It’s really really well executed. While I could see some things coming (and they wanted you to see them coming) there where still a lot of shocking moments I never expected and I genuinely felt certain characters could have gone either way when making certain choices and that was so refreshing to experience.
Plus the music/soundtrack is freaking genius and now I have a bunch of new artists I listen too.
The sequel tension between wilhem and Simon is crazy like wow
I can't even begin to describe the chemistry they have lol
I enjoyed your reaction. I've watched a lot of reaction videos for Young Royals now...it's actually the first show that drove me to check out reaction videos to begin with. But it's so fun seeing others react to the show I love for the first time. The tension and connection between Wilhelm and Simon is just ELECTRIC. Their chemistry is insane, and I was rooting for them from Wilhelm's huge smile in episode 1 when he heard him sing. Me too, Wilhelm, me too. :) Looking forward to seeing you react to the rest of the episodes. I'm binging all your reactions for Young Royals now!
The gay thing isn't the problem, but that a prince(ss), especially a crown prince(ss), isn't allowed to choose anyone they want. Many do so anyway, and are excluded from the line of succession to the throne. It would take a long day to explain all that. The point is, little princes can't just do what they want, and certainly not in public. The higher in the line of succession, the stricter. August eg. is far from the throne, despite his kinship to Wilhelm. He can allow himself a lot more freedom because he will probably never repress the royal family.
The fact who's funny is, they are only Will who can be king, so technically he could do what he want, nobody can kick him. And if the Sweden is the most friendly countrie of Europe for gay people, Will can use that for....i don't know, doing something for change the things.
PS : sorry for my pathetic english XD, i'm french and i try to make conversation with english-speakers.
That’s funny, cause In Sweden, The royalty IS allowed to be lgbtq+ because it’s nothing we can do to change, the monarchy have said if Estelle (the next crown princess, the crown princesses daughter) is turning out to be a part of the lgbtq, then that’s okay, and she’s allowed to be
That was a general response to royal families. Because I've read quite a few stories of skipped inheritance because the respective royal offspring was excluded for the sake of the love affair they chose. From Europe to Japan.
Some of them shouldn't have been that long ago. So if the wind of change suddenly blows in the last few months or maybe a year or two, that's great, of course.
In England there were also some things that people didn't like to see. Kate was questionable as a commoner for a while and then Harry came and wanted to marry a notorious American woman, where they had reservations again and he wasn't even crown prince. But since the Queen had personally married a man who was questionable in the eyes of everyone else and saw what would happen if she forced her son into a marriage, so to speak, to a woman he apparently never loved, she then gave in and gave her blessing.
This is all harsh and pretty short, but you know what I mean.
The thing is, if a king or queen can't produce offspring for whatever reason, that line is compromised. Let's take the fictional form of the show. So if Erik were to succeed to the throne and could produce offspring, everything would be fine -at least for Wille, as long as he avoids scandals. If Erik didn't exist and Wilhelm was the only one and he would now (allowed to) be gay, there would be no offspring and the crown that is so important to the Queen would go to some other line of the family. Surely that wouldn't be a problem either, since the royal family doesn't rule anyway, but it's about these damn values and expectations that aren't that easy to circumvent.
@@appletinitwoappletinis7249 this is a really interesting scenario tbh. a lot of gay couples nowadays opt to have biological offsprings, so the royal line can continue. if they choose not to have offsprings, maybe some cousin from a juvenile branch of the family can be designated as heir. or they could look elsewhere since most European royal families are related. The British Royal family has a list of the next 100 people in line to the throne if in case the worse happens, Sweden probably has a similar list
Have you ever watched Skam? If not you should consider reacting to that too. Season 3 in particular. That’s the season that follows the gay character :)
Yes!! Skam season 3 is the OG of this holy trinity. Skam crawled so Young Royals could walk and Heartstopper could run.
I've seen a lot of people watching Skam, and I see there's different versions of it as well? Is it kind of like each season has it's own story that's not connected to the previous ones?
@@RickyReviews Each season follows a new main character, but the secondary characters are mostly there for all four seasons. There are plot points that do carry over from one season to another, but usually minor ones. You definitely can just watch one season and it would generally make sense to you as each season is a fairly standalone storyline, but I’d recommend watching all four seasons. That really makes seasons 3 & 4 that much better, which are the best two season imo.
@@RickyReviews yes and no. All the seasons go together but you don’t have to watch them all to follow what happens in season 3 which is the recognized by pretty much everyone as the best season. I’ve watch all four season though and they are all great.
And there are several different versions in other countries. They’re all very similar but each of them have their own twists. Like season three is a same sex couple in every country’s version but one has a transgender character. One has more heavy homophobia than the others. I’ve watched all seasons of all versions. The best version and season for me hands down is the original version, which is the Norwegian one (usually called OG Scam) season three.
@@RickyReviews skam is amazing! a beautiful and amazingly written show i strongly recommend reacting to it in order seasons 1-4! The original one (Norway). I'm sure you'll love it
I think the "I'm not-" is foreshadowed in ep 1 when Simon asks why Wilhelm didn't say anything about the tax evasion/welfare stuff. He says "I'm not- I'm not allowed to speak on political issues". To me that means he was going in the direction of "I'm not allowed to like boys (you)" rather than "I'm not gay".
If you want to say Simon's name right, say "Sea-monster", but drop the "ster" at the end.
lmao i've never thought of it that way
Thank you for this! I've been saying it somewhat more along the lines of "Symone" but more of an 'e' sound in the beginning. I was close! haha
i hate august so much it's insane
And why tf is he always everywhere.. Like that ticks me off sm omfg🥲
@@LivsWings_ he has a spidey sense for interrupting wille and simon like😭
@@MarianaGuerra-x1p LMAO I'm right there with you -_-
Fr
I'm literally just from watching the first episode you've done on this series... Yay, they're coming out so fast lol... Ly
so excited to see the reaction 😄
The prince of Sweden is very restricted : he is not allowed to express an opinion, and he is certainly not allowed to live a romance, to be in love. Love in not part of his life as a prince.
That is why he has a panic attack. He reads in the board about "legacy" which takes him back to his duties to have an arranged marriage.....So the issue is not being gay/unlabelled/pan...but being a prince.
Yes you are right, August want to break their bond because he s elitist and it is unacceptable for a prince to be close to a working-class person. And he is jealous, as you said too.
Is that true though? Cuz the Swedish prince and princesses have had boyfriends and girlfriends. The crown princess Victoria dated for example a guy when she was in high school.
@@LinosaLi Yes in the real life. But in this fiction, the writers wants to impersonate a "restricted person who is not allowed to love", and they chose to impersonate this restricted person by a royal.
They didn't say the fiction represents the reality, it is a fiction. The part which is real, according to the writer researches in these school, is the students don't admit being gay. They don't talk about it even if people imagine there are queer persons. Former students were interviewed.
They want to point out the difficulties for certain persons to live freely their love, for other reasons in real life, like countries where queerness is illegal.
Do you see it?
@@openedtodiscussion I know it’s fiction and that Willes problem is that he’s a prince and not that he’s gay. What I reacted to was that you wrote "he’s not allowed to express an opinion and to live a romance" because I don’t see it being that hard. I think he can express opinions, and that he could potentially have a love. The problem is that he grew up in a different enviroment than you and me, and his opinions are based on that. And the whole monarchy is about giving birth to princes and princesses. And that’s kinda a problem here. If he would have liked Felice I think it would have been just fine. I can actually see him trying to like her in S2.
@@LinosaLi
I disagree.
They ask him very clearly to not give any opinion in politic matter for instance.
The queen explained to him that Love is not a matter that is taking in account for a royal life. He can fall in love but they don't care.
The writer clearly explained in interview that her subject was "How a restricted person is capable to love?"
So yes Love is an issue. I understand that it sounds crazy.
And of course Felice would be great, but they don't care if he feels anything, she has just the good status. Not a matter of love here. So yes they can force him in the future to have a political relationship with "a Felice-status girl" of course, for the same matter. He is not allowed to choose his partner freely.
I guess we will to agree to disagree, and it is completely alright.
Have a nice day.
Can't wait for more!
Determined to finish the series up by the end of the week! :D
This show is just so ACHINGLY romantic. *swoon*
If you want to know about how Sweden is when it comes to gay politics and the real royals, you can check out the video:
"The Crown Princess opens Stockholm Digital Pride Parade 2020 - English subtitles".
In 2021 they have made it clear that a person next in line to the throne could marry a person of the same gender if they want to.
Episode 3 is a game changer! Get ready for a major twist...
About to be up now! The amount of tears I shed...
vis a vis today?
You should watch the shows “Pose” and “The Fosters” react to them. 😊🏳️🌈
I've watched both already! I looooved Pose, I wish it got a fourth season
@@RickyReviews me too :) :)
😀
The real the Swedish royal family is just a symbol, they don’t have any power or anything.
The Swedish crown princess is married to her PT.
The other princess is married to an American and live there now l.
The price is married to a girl who was in Swedish paradise hotel.
