#Netflix #Reaction #Smiley
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS Finally someone reacts to this little gem of a series! I don't know why it's so non-existent here. So looking forward for more from you. :) Also, this was originally a theatre play, that's why it may feel "stagey" at times. :)
Finally someone’s rediscovered this show. I can’t wait to watch your reaction. Sweet show, I love Carlos Cuevas. You’ll have to watch him in Merlí, which is even better!
omg yes i fucking love merli, such an incredible and deeply underrated show, at least overseas cause in spain and latin america was very popular at the time!!!
I started watching just for the main couple (alex/bruno) because that‘s what the show was advertised with, but by the end i was almost more invested in all the other couples tbh. Really great show!
It definitely pulls you right in on all of the relationships
the christmas episode was EVERYTHING, 10/10 series
Bilateral fan from the US here 😜
Loved this series and it’s representation- You’re both a joy to watch
So glad you’re doing this- do watch him in Merlí too
I love Merli so much!! I have a couple episodes left of the sequel series Merli Sapre Aude. Carlos is just an amazing actor!!
Noo, not Merli.. Why do you like it? They absolutely ruined it with the sequel.
@@nataliakaryaka6529 It's possible to still love Merli after watching the sequel series. I don't like Sepre Aude as much but the performances are very strong!
omg i’m so happy ppl are recommending them Merlí cause it is an incredible show and very underrated overseas, in spain and latin america was very famous but i haven’t seen many people from other countries talk abt it? id give anything to watch merli for the first time ever that tells u all
This is one of the most intelligent, corageous, honest queer shows ever, just like many other spanish ones produced by Netflix, both series and movies. Definitely in my list since the day it came out❤ Great reaction from you both!
This was so well presented, written and acted - from the first minute to the end it was fun, mesmerizing and so true to life as any other series on this subject has been presented before. It wasn't too over the top and it was clean, loving and showed wonderful emotions we all go through but one different levels. It so believable and the relationship between Alex and Bruno was so typical of two people who resist and end up just about regretting it. Sometimes vulnerability can save us and make us truly human. Great production, and am sure everyone had a great time on set... Congrats. Thanks, gracias...
Nice to see you two [re-]watching this show! Also really enjoyed your Young Royals reactions 🙂 [sorry, boring smiley I realize]
I'm only two episodes in, but I've been enjoying the atmosphere and the representation in the show so far, and Alex is also really good eye candy, lol. I liked how episode 2 went with Alex and Bruno too.
(Also, Josh is adorable; you two def have fun energy together 😄)
I literally don't watch the queer shows a second time and just wait for you to post reactions so I can rewatch them with you :D
My husband and I watched this around the holidays and we absolutely loved it. One of the best LGBTQ series ever! We first discovered Carlos Cuevas, the main actor, in the Merli series, which is also very good.
I watched the spin-off series to that on netflix but could never find the original!
If you haven't seen Merli, I recommend it. But start from the beginning, not the one on Netflix. Love your reactions
but merli starts with the show that’s on netflix… hello? that’s the only one and then there’s the sequel sapere aude so…
seems that a season 3 of Merli Saper Aude will not be!!Que Lastima!!I really wanted to see how Pol and Axel got on- especially as the last episode takes place 3 years after the great Symposium episode!,
Oooof my face hurts every time you post!!!! You two make me smile everytime. Thanks again for the wonderful content!!! 😁
The red-headed office co-worker Ramon is played by Ramon Pujol, who stars in an excellent 2019 film directed by Lucio Castro: Fin de Siglo (End of the Century). His romantic/erotic chemistry with co-star Juan Barberini is terrific. Unlike this charming series, End of the Century is definitely an "art film" -- and definitely worth seeking out. Beautifully shot (again) in Barcelona, one of the most photogenic of cities! (Note: I believe Pujol played Alex in the original play that Smiley is based on.)
I have been so excited to watch this with y’all!! This is such a great show ❤
I'd totally recommend Donde caben dos, which features both Miki and Carlos, and the amazing Alvaro Cervantes
YESSSSS!!!!!! I've been waiting MONTHS for someone to react to this series!!!!
Yes!!!!!!!
I loved smiley and I love you. This is going to be so much fun
The Netflix series is adapted from a (successful) play by by Guillem Clua, and uses much/most of the same cast. Perhaps bits here and there do seem a bit "stagey".
Love you guys! I love to see your reactions :) Hi from Mexico
I think Smiley was originally a play! Love your reactions cant wait for more! Carlos Cuevas is hot af in my opinion!
I love this series. There are so many stories included, so many things to reflecting. And so many hot scenes. Enjoy it!
I really enjoy the actor who played the bartender- Alex? He was even better in a series called Merli.
Another one that will,have me waiting for your next episode 😅 great series and looking forward to seeing it through your eyes now
Netflix is producing so much great international content. It is sad that most Americans miss anything that isn't American.
This show is amazing!!! So excited you both are watching it! 🥰
The pool scene was so beautiful and innocent! No egos
I can't wait to see both of your reactions to episode 2 cause ooff ❤️🔥
It was indeed a play first. So you guessed right.
This is the first time I've ever seen you two and I'm dying. You're so fun to watch.... I love your humor and chemistry together... I subscribed. Can't wait to watch some more. I also loved this show, but I was lazy and turned on the English dubbed voices. Sometimes I just don't want to read the dialogue.
I really hope we get another series! And I highly recommend everyone gives it a go.
Why didn't you use the NETFLIX DUBBED version??? They did an excellent job with it. This series is a gem for sure.
i prefer to watch shows in the original language so i like that they watched it like this…
I love this show and am so excited you're reacting to it. You two are the best.
Carlos Cuevas is hot as fuck. But I really liked him more in 'Merli', so please Netflix I'm begging you, show the orignal Merli series too, not only 'Merli Sapere Aude', cause you can't get it by not knowing the whole series and Bruno & Pol are soo cute!!!!
Besides I think Sapere Aude is crap as a whole, except for some Pol (Carlos) scenes, I particularly liked him in the whole VIH storyline. But look, Netflix hasn't even promoted Smiley properly so, don't expect Merli on it, which is a real pity because IMO the first season of Merli is one of the very best ever. And the ending of the third and final was just lovely.
netflix in ur country only has the sapere aude??? damn, the latin american or argentinian netflix actually has merli, the whole show, or maybe it’s missing the first season which sucks but yeah, to watch the sapere aude it’s very hard so i just watched it on a non official platform🤷🏻♀️
@@darylridingamotorcycle666 Hi, thanx for your comment, Actually I can (and do) watch MERLI from time to time because I have access to TV3..But I definetely don't have access to in on Netflix. I must say that I think the first season of Merli is my favorite. I happen to know for certain that it was so good because the writer had been working on it for ages and when it became the huge success was given two more seasons for wich he had not much. That and David/Bruno quitting the show brought (IMO) a few poor episodes on the 3rd season. Anyway, that's all history now. I read that Smiley is finished. Netflix has not wanted a 2nd season because the first wasn't popular enough. I blame two things for that, one Netflix did NOT publicize it (for whatever reason) and 2 because it's basically about grown up gays which has a very limited public anyway. The key to success these days is to include troubled hot bisexual young guys who can't decide which way to go. This brings hordes of young girls to any show, like moths to a flame.
@@darylridingamotorcycle666 yes, so sad! I have only access to the storyline of Bruno & Pol on YT, but fell immediately in love with them. Really really wanna watch the whole series! 😭😭😭
Greetings from Berlin 😎
Yayyy I loved the show! So happy you’re reacting to this ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this series but I have been a Carlos Cuervo fan since Merli. He’s been in quite a few Netflix shows.
Thank god someone else knows him from Merli ! I saw this and was like "wait is that pol??"
Don’t sheet where you eat! 😂
It will make my day 🤣👍🏿
Suggestion: skam France s3
Looove you guys doing this reaction ❤
I definitely agree with what you guys said the show touches on different stories. I actually love the straight storyline the most surprisingly.
This does have "grown up" Heartstopper vibe.
Hopefully you can review Spanish teen drama Elite
I love this show! I'm so excited to watch it again with you!
I don't know if Carlos is gay but he can have chemistry with anyone or anything!! In another show he was holding something at a store and I was jealous of the way he caressed it!
He’s played a gay character in at least four-five movies/shows but I don’t think he’s confirmed or denied anything. But holy hell he’s beautiful.
@@graphiquejack It should be illegal to be as beautiful and talented as Carlos is!!!
“Oh, that’s my name” 😂
Can't wait for next episode's reaction!
I've only seen the first episode so far so I must catch up before you release more! It's fun, it's gay but it doesn't feel like it's forced gay that you see in some content.
Glad you're doing this series. I really enjoyed it. I was home alo e sick one weekend and binged the whole thing. It's weird to say it's wholesome because it's objectively NOT, but it's so wholesome 😅
Liked this series and casting is so good. Also Carlos(Alex) does a lot gay/bi roles.
I loved Smiley! Also loved the other show with the main actor :)
7:04.... hahahaha Oh it's you
pretty sure there is one still left..... am I wrong
17:52... anyone else thirsting to compare with Josh's abs - we know he works his pecks open shirt vid... so who votes for more Josh skin
Yes one of my fav shows!
I LOVE SMILEY IT'S SO GOOD GREAT VIDEO
Kisses on the cheeks is showing an affection. Someone here is allergic to an affection.
Nope, they weren't talking about public sex, it was just a little game they created... he was basically gushing how the game was their secret little pastime.
I’ve been wanting to watch this show…glad to watch with you but damn I need to work on reading faster….their dialogue is hard to keep up with 🤦♀️
💜
I agree Bruno's hot. If he doesn't want him send him my way lol
The book reading alone had me in love!!
@@k1988smith Couldn't agree more 😏
I love it ❤️🏳️🌈
Please watch Prisma.
It's weird that I watched this dubbed into English
Why are they watching Dora the Explorer? They already know Spanish. lmfao
It makes sense because here in Spain "Dora la exploradora" is dubbed and used to teach English to children! Just the opposite to the original version
@@josemariagonzalez9160 Oh, interesting! That's cool.
You are LATE to the party!
I'll watch it again just because you are reacting to the series and I love you. But, it's full of gay stereotypes ... Sorry for being a party pooper.
You only need to watch the first , second, and last episodes . Everything in between is boring as hell.
