Each season is filmed slightly different because it’s from the main character’s pov. Even other characters might look or behave slightly different because that’s how they are perceived by our current main character. It’s really fascinating to see if you watch all four seasons. 😊
Isak’s locker is a metaphor for his struggles with sexuality. Sometimes it opens easily and at other times he can’t get it open. Very subtle detail - but it says a lot about his current mental state! :)
Yeah exactly- the name for locker and closet is the same in Norwegian. So when he’s struggling with opening his locker it’s like he’s struggling with opening, or rather, coming out of the closet
The teacher thing is intentional! You were right with Isak hyperfocusing on it, but another reason is that the creator of the show wanted all the focus to be on the teenagers and how they view the world, so you’ll notice there are very few adults actually shown side note: i’m so happy you picked up on the romeo and juliet thing so quickly!
Skam means shame in Norwegian. As we follow Eva (Season 1), Noora (Season 2), Isak (Season 3), and Sana (Seaon 4) we see how shame is shaping their actions, and their journey in starting to overcome shame. Isak lives in a collective (flat) with Eskild and Linn. Noora used to live in the collective too, but is currently in London with her boyfriend William. That’s who the group were FaceTiming in the first episode. Isak is 17 and in his second year of Nissen, while Even is 19 and is repeating his third year and has transferred from Bakka to Nissen. We’re given more context to why Isak doesn’t want to live with his parents throughout the season, and the mystery behind why Even transferred to a different school isn’t really revealed until the fourth and final season. But like I said, many of this can be answered by the title of the show- ‘shame.’ Also Baz Luhrmann’s directing plays a big part in the season, so if you’re a fan of his work especially Romeo + Juliet keep an eye out for any parallels. The time 21:21 is very significant too, so any mention to that, you’ll know something big is happening/ a turning point is about to happen. Hope this adds to your viewing experience!! ❤
The soundtrack for SKAM was like another character. There's so much subtext if you pay attention. For instance, the final shot of episode one, where Isak, Emma, and Even are sitting together, the song that plays is called Threesome. 😃
Isak (Tarjei) and Even (Henrik) are terrific actors - particularly their facial expressions - for their ages at the time this was made . Glad you’re into SKAM !
I´m norwegian and yes some people move out when they are high school age for different reasons. Usually because of distance between your home and the school, but sometimes because they don´t want to live with their parents anymore.
Yes the teacher is supposed to be headless haha you'll notice that there are only few adult faces shown in the series. To emphasize that the series is about the teenage experience, adults are relegated to minimal roles
I don’t know if anyone has sort of explained how Skam works for you guys, but each clip starts with a date and time because that’s when the individual clips were released and then on Friday, the whole episode with all the clips would come out. Also, the characters all had Instagram accounts they’d update throughout the season and you can find sites with translated text messages etc between all the characters. I’d just hold off on looking for the extra content outside the show until the season is done as it likely has a lot of spoilers for future episodes. But yeah, Skam was like a whole immersive experience. Really unique, I loved it.
Did you pick up on Even’s comment “we can’t go back now” supposedly because of all the spices he put on the sandwiches, to which Isak says “no we can’t go back,” after looking adoringly at Even.
yeah. SKAM each season is mainly focused on a main character, this is isak season and most of the things you see is through isaks pov and his perception of the other characters and surroundings.
Love your reactions so much! Norwegian upper secondary education and culture surrounding it is really something else, whenever you're baffled have a peak at previous episodes' comment section ;) Some facts: Detention isn't a thing in Norway. :) The boobs is intentional, the teacher is credentiated as "puppedama/tits woman". Lots of Bas Luhrman hommages this season
Some informations about the previous seasons for a better understanding of s3: - S1 was Eva’s season (the redhead girl who hosted the party in ep1) and her, Jonas and Isak have been friends since middle school, Eva and Jonas used to date but *SPOILER* broke up and Isak was kind of involved in the drama regarding their break up and at the end of S1 Eva found gay porn on Isak’s phone and it was hinted that Isak had a crush on Jonas. Also in S1 Isak was still living at home with his parents but he didn’t have an easy situation ‘cause his dad left and his mom didn’t cope with it really well so he also left. - S2 was about Noora (the blonde girl they were facetiming last episode and is now in London) and well her story is a lot and not really related to Isak so there isn’t much you need to know EXCEPT she used to live in this apartment, this a students shared apartment and Eskild and Linn (Isak’s roommates) are older and are probably Uni students, Noora also didn’t have a good relationship with her parents so she lived there, when she moved to London with her boyfriend basically Isak took the opportunity to leave home and take her room. I think this covers the basics regarding Isak in past seasons 😂
I find it weird because you guys watched SKAM, young royals and heartstopper in the opposite order I did... I can't believe SKAM didn't change your brain chemistry in 2017
I love that you saw right away it was a Romeo and Juliet thing. It will be a thing the rest of the season :)! And Isak moves out because of trouble with his parents divorce end of season 2.
Yes, each season is from the main character's point of view, which makes for an interesting change of pace. (The first 2 seasons were from girls points of view, so now we're seeing all that "bro culture" that surrounds Isak but he just doesn't get. Will he understand gay culture?) Isak's story starts in season one where you find out about his living situation. I believe Evan was held back a year (?) which is why he is older. Love that you were able to spot the Romeo & Juliet references, etc!
I'M LIVING FOR YOU GUYS REACTIONSSSSSS ON SKAM S3 LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!! (the way you both were so shocked that even had a girlfriend was LITERALLY me the first time i watched it lmaooooo)
I just love how this show is able to both get you so puzzled about some stuff, AND so invested at the same time. Loved your observation about the conversations between everyone around Isak actually being how he experiences them, not necessarily how young people "just are nowadays". Hadn't looked at it like that until now. Can't wait to watch the rest with yous with this in mind. Is it next Wednesday already? :) Enjoy, darlings!!! Thanks for making me smile so much :)
Oh gods this was such a solid watch. Your reactions to even!! I noticed you guys were talking a lot about how the show is shot, and i think Skam France is a good choice after the OG because unlike the other skam remakes, it sets out to do its own thing cinematographically. Skam OG is reminiscent of furious youth and elbows bumping into one another -- all jagged lines and stark awkwardness. Skam france, while centered around the french versions of the OG, is about minute detail and emotions bursting forth from scenes shot like paintings -- all poetry and prose, but still coming from a shaky foundation built around youth. Skam france is one of the shows most popular remakes, often competing with druck, the german remake. Both are incredibly different but exquisitely beautiful. You guys def dont have to film the experience. I just hope you give it a chance even if privately. Skam og, gave me a good slap in the face while Skam france made me sob, but also made me thankful for it.
Hyped!! Immediately smashed the like and subscribe button. Loved how invested you guys became after this episode. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for posting!
This is great, as a swede, i watched SKAM When it came in the 2017 and i Was amazed over the performance of these guys. You are in for a ride. Love you reactions.
Yay! I love that you caught the soundtrack thing! I loved that so much when I first watched that slow-mo Even scene (owned & played the R+J soundtrack so much back then and it´s kinda burned into my brain, lol) it´s such a cool detail 💛
I know that live reactions are a lot of work and you guys have actual jobs and all, but I am really loving these Skam reactions! It's an ideal show for you to react to live because it's full of intriguing and unexpected turns. Really looking forward to the next one!
A little late but regarding 14:20 - yes, in Norway if you live too far from your high school campus its common to have a flatshare set up with other students.
Have to say I loooove your reactions guys! Came across you as I needed more heartstopper content and i'm really enjoying your reactions to Skam now, as it's another long time fave show of mine. it's such brilliant acting/script considering sexuality, mental illness etc and such a wonderful rep of a deep/sincere relationship for the gays in Even and isak. also you're both hilarious, i'm cracking up, esp 'my gaydar is FUCKED' hahah. much love!
The friends talking about getting laid is partly reflecting his POV and how he doesn't care, but also in this show all everyone ever talks about is sex
Thanks, now I can rewatch it again ❤ You are right about many things, I wish you watched S1 before that so you could have seen more backstory of Isak, so this is definitely not the first time for him to question his sexuality. I think by s3 (the current one) he knows that he is gay, but still doesn't want to accept it.
I just discovered your channel and I wish I found it when ‘Heartstopper’ reactions were dropping because I love it! I’m waiting for the Season 2 Reactions. P.S. Both of you are cute haha
Yes, 2021, Sweden (19.0 years) recorded the lowest average age of young people leaving their parental home, and Portugal (33.6 years) the highest. In Stockholm the average is a bit higher (22), than the rest of Sweden, due to a lack of apartments. In the EU, the average age of young people leaving their parental home was 26.5 years. I don't have any figures for Norway, but I think it's similar to Sweden. It's not very common to move out when you're 16-17 as Nora and Isak did, but it's not uncommon either. Especially if you live in the countryside, and it's far to the high school you want to attend, like if you want to go to a one that has a speciality that you're interested in.
@@hluck87 honestly same like I didn’t think I’d like the others but skam France easily takes the cake and yes Evan and isak is cute and all but Lucas and Elliot are hot asf and have so much more passion like idk maybe I’m biased cause of French men but I do still like the og lol
I am exited for u all to watch the full show. And so glad u caught onto the Romeo and Juliet thing. Even and Isak my beloveds. Their so hot. Also the whole cast is hot ngl
Hi guys, this video came right when I needed it❤ Btw, it's not pronounced as "scam", "a" is like kArma "a", ant the translation is "shame", so there is nothing similar to svindel, hope it helps, thanks for video😊
@@patrickkobes3853 They don’t even know if they are going to stay friends. I wouldn’t mention anything until the end of the season or they already watched the moment. But it’s up to you.
That was a spoiler. I always try to be careful about not giving away something, that will happen later. Best to stick to plotwise talking about the current episode put out maybe with references to earlier things, or overall things they need to know to understand it better, without giving the plot away.
I don't know if I said it for the previous episode but I'm a 99 like Isaac's actor and his character's age in this series and I was very impressed to learn he played that when I was in highschool I'm pretty excited to see anymore notice of similarities between Romeo and Juliet and this season

My favorite one is the gay bar song after Eva and Noora find out he likes guys, lol
Isak (Tarjei) and Even (Henrik) are terrific actors - particularly their facial expressions - for their ages at the time this was made . Glad you’re into SKAM !
I´m norwegian and yes some people move out when they are high school age for different reasons. Usually because of distance between your home and the school, but sometimes because they don´t want to live with their parents anymore.
I think it’s pretty cool! Kinda like uni living :)
Ah, yay! I think you two are the first reactors who understand the Romeo & Juliet references from the beginning! Thank you!😊
Yes the teacher is supposed to be headless haha

Once again SKAM NORWAY just literally teen show masterpiece
yeah. SKAM each season is mainly focused on a main character, this is isak season and most of the things you see is through isaks pov and his perception of the other characters and surroundings.
I cant begin to explain how much I love your channel!!?? Didn't know I needed LGBTQ reviews of LGBTQ shows but now...damn, can't stop watching!
Love your reactions so much! Norwegian upper secondary education and culture surrounding it is really something else, whenever you're baffled have a peak at previous episodes' comment section ;)
Some facts:
Detention isn't a thing in Norway. :)
The boobs is intentional, the teacher is credentiated as "puppedama/tits woman".
Lots of Bas Luhrman hommages this season

Aw my poor Isak, that must have felt terrible. But that was so fun to watch. Episode 3 is a blast, waiting for it.
oh there's gonna be draama alright. 😅 The things that are coming I've not expected at all when it first came out. Looking forward to your reactions!
Skam is in my top 3 and I’m living for your reactions!!!

Oh gods this was such a solid watch. Your reactions to even!! I noticed you guys were talking a lot about how the show is shot, and i think Skam France is a good choice after the OG because unlike the other skam remakes, it sets out to do its own thing cinematographically.

Yes, in Norway we move out from ours parent’s house, when we’re 15-16 for go to high school.
Well, one percent or something like that

Love it!! You could also react to the story of Gallavich from "Shameless"
Watching Romeo + Juliet: I like Dic- (COUGH)- Sorry, DiCaprio.
Scandinavian people explained us that they move out early, around 18. So maybe there is something here.
Yes, 2021, Sweden (19.0 years) recorded the lowest average age of young people leaving their parental home, and Portugal (33.6 years) the highest. In Stockholm the average is a bit higher (22), than the rest of Sweden, due to a lack of apartments.

@@Asa...S yes. Thanks for the precision.
Pretty sure Scandinavian/Nordic young adults move to their own apartments when they are very young compared to the rest of Europe(and the world).
Y’all need to react to skam France s3 next please obvi same storyline but it’s a whole different vibe 👀🤌🏽

Hi guys, this video came right when I needed it❤
Btw, it's not pronounced as "scam", "a" is like kArma "a", ant the translation is "shame", so there is nothing similar to svindel, hope it helps, thanks for video😊

ahhhh new reaction of skam!!! 🙌
how far are you guys on patreon?
getting so fun fffffuuuun
"skam" means shame. shame is the name of the series.(:
Watching Leo and Claire in Romeo + Juliet is the ultimate test of which side you're on. I still can't decide between them.
This episode if best in France, but good here, just wait, many, many twist to come!
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Just a reminder that bisexual people exist :)
And pansexual.
Love this show…
Hope you also watch the other remakes of this show🤞🤞🤞
