I have to say it again! One of the best final shots of any television series. Ever. -- Thank you for giving this series the time, attention and appreciation it deserves!! Looking forward to watching more of your reacts :)
I watched an interview with Scott Ryan where he was asked about doing another season, but he said he'd lived with that character for 16 years and didn't want to have to do that any more!
People didn’t like the ending… I thought it was perfect… The fact he didn’t kill Freedy felt like an attempt at ending his lifetime in a dirty profession on a “positive” note. Idk… good series. 👍
I think also Ray felt like he didn't need to kill Freddy. Why stain his hands and conscious when Freddy is a dead man from all the debts he's got anyway. By that point Ray is out of the game and Freddy and worth getting back in
Thank you for your great, insightful reactions to the whole series. It was really good watching it again with you. The way Ray looks right into the camera smiling at the end and then you get "RUN" was like a cherry on top.
Tissues for Dave, definitely needed them myself for the first time watching, as i loved the bloke. Scott Ryan has gone on record that he has had enough of playing Ray, and that this felt like this was enough for him. However, with the overwhelming acclaim the series has garnered, we can hold out a bit of hope for a forth season. Alex is still out there, Freddy has some making up to do...not that i think he's ever going to be forgiven. The Magician is the same character, almost 20 years younger. This show was an absolute gem, i hope Australian cinema takes notes and delivers some more bangers like this. Growing up in Sydney, myself makes it that much more enjoyable for me. I've literally been to almost every place featured in this show, it's nice to see my city in a show of this caliber. Run.
Liked the Dave character, he was a "lovable rogue" type. Never realised until recently that he was in the third "Riddick" film with Vin Diesel, playing "Daddy Johns" the father of the original bounty hunter killed in "Pitch Black" whilst bringing Riddick in.
There's literally nothing to imply these guys at the end were hitmen. It was just two random dickheads much like any of the random dickheads ray has encountered during the show.
Great to watch your reactions to a great Australian series. I can't remember if I've recommended this movie,but The "Proposition" With Guy Pierce starring and written and composed by the one and only Nick Cave is truly an epic tale of family bonds set in the outback of Australia.
I tell you what was interesting.. at the start of this reaction series, you questioned the need for violence... we agreed there is good violence. I smiled at your reaction today, because when Ray was trapped in the abandoned cabin, you did two things.. 1. Are there any weapons or chemicals Ray can use, 2. When the guy was set on fire, your face lit up & looked happy!! 👍
The Magician is indeed the same character. Its premise is that its a documentary of the life of a hitman only to be shown after his death. p.s Alex is the Biker VP who ran into the bush when they were digging up his cash. He's the one who put the 2 punks on Ray at the end.
There's no evidence Alex or the guys at the end are connected. Why would two hired blokes not just off Ray when he didn't suspect it? It was just two random dickheads
@@imnottellingyoumyname3050 The two random dickheads that Ray just happened to pick up from a Bikie clubhouse? Just a couple of psychopathic murderers who decided to randomly knock off a cabbie for sport one night for no other plot reason than to end the show?

@@imnottellingyoumyname3050 Two 'random dickheads' he just happened to pick up from a bikie clubhouse? So you're saying that to end the show, the writers just decided to add in a couple of psychopaths looking to randomly murder a cabbie for no reason?
@@ray.shoesmithprecisely. - the entire show is ray meeting random people and having conflicts with them. The two lads who knock his daughter, the two guys at the crossing, the junkies hired for a hit by Freddie, the guys who steal the car he's in the boot of. That is the show. This is the final scene, a homage to the entire series you've just watched. I don't really understand how you can watch the entire show then be sceptical at the notion of the final scene being a random chance encounter when the entire show is littered with them. - consider this, let's say the two guys are sent by Alex. We can assume, if this is the case, they will be aware Ray single handedly killed two of Alex's gang who ambushed him when Ray wasn't expecting it. They will also know he is likely armed. Why then, with this knowledge, would the two guys then antagonise Ray in advance by messing with the radio then announce in advance that they are about to attempt to kill him? It makes literally no sense. The only way it makes sense is if it's two random guys who believe they're about to rough up a random, unsuspecting cabbie
Subbed when I saw you were covering this show. Not a fan of reaction channels, but as someone who's new to it, appreciated your takes. Shame this show only got three seasons and how much it progresses between each season. Have read how people have compared this to Barry and how this is a better Aussie version, so I'm yet to get started on Barry.
The only real comparison is that Ray and Barry are both hitmen, Barry is in essence a comedy. I will say that the episode 'ronny/lily' is the funniest single tv episode I've ever seen in my life. Worth watching.
Thanks Chrissie, the series has been brilliant; even more so with your top notch commentary. Perfect ending with Ray grinning at the two guys who are about to realise they've just made a huge mistake - probably the worst mistake of their lives in fact.
Here in Australia you can get your dimsims/dimmies, steamed like in the last episode or deep fried like in the other episodes. Really enjoyed rewatching Mr Inbetweener with you 😁
@@macdac9861 Mate, dimmies from the Queen Vic markets look just like that, only fried. There are different types of dimmies than the frozen shit you get at the corner takeaway.
Im grateful for your positive spin on the last episode, i was pretty sad and left wondering what happened.. but like you said i guess he wasnt scared and we know how it would have played out. Thanks again for taking us through your reaction to a fantastic series❤
Chrissie it's been so fun watching this with you and I'm so happy you enjoyed the music!!! Scott Ryan definitely grew & aged perfectly into this character from The Magician days, I'd love to know what you think!!! Cheers!
Dumpling and dym sum are the same thing as far as I can tell. That’s what he is eating at the restaurant. The ones he gets from the fish and chip shop are called dim sims or dimmies and are an Australian variation.
Excellent ending to a great series. Nice little "Butch searches for better weapon" Pulp Fiction reference in there too. Cheers, Chrissie, it was enjoyable watching it with you.
You are the best reaction for this series on UA-cam. Keep watching the good stuff. I’d recommend something but some of your fans already have you covered.
Couple of recommendations of Aussie series for you if you're up for it. Not crime series, just something different: "Colin from Accounts", a quirky rom com written by a real life husband and wife. Very funny. also "The Newsreader" about Australian news in the 80s and the weird cast of characters trying to make their way in Australian news at that time. A couple of notes about "Mr Inbetween." A lot of the situations actually happened to him. The story about the teacher berating and bullying him for "dragging his feet" was real, as is the very last situation, which actually happened to him while driving cabs in Echuca.
I echo the sentiments of greypossum and it was the fact that you were watching Mr Inbetween that introduced me to you. Unlike numerous North American "reactors" you don't feel the need to incessantly interrupt just to interject the sound of your own voice. Americans are very strong in their ability to talk, ability to listen doesn't rank so highly. I agree that they could have easily made a 4th season. Fortunately, Australia and New Zealand are blessed with a population that is generally happy to accept the appropriate ending to an epic series and look forward to seeing a new adventure. I am pretty confident that American audiences would too, if only they were permitted. I obviously leave soap opera audiences out of this comment, because they are generally happy with a serving of tripe every day for their entire lives 😂 We don't generally have the suits in a position to demand more and more unless it's on commercial TV which is now largely irrelevant. Look forward to continuing to support your channel and enjoying your reviews.

Great ending. Leaves you thinking who was in trouble! They were put up to it by the bike gang. The guy in the back 'a bit of this, a bit of that' struck me as being a young Ray.
Well, this has been a hell of a ride Chrissie. Thank you. I've really enjoyed your authenticity, not an easy trait on social media. After watching your reaction through the whole series I've subscribed. Looking forward to wherever you want to take us next. ❤
I may have all this wrong but recall via interviews that Scott Ryan was actually a cab driver in Echuca for 10 years and something like the last scene happened to him IRL. He thought his dream of seeing the series made was dead and so went and got a ‘real job’ out in the bush driving cabs. The last scene was one of the things that went down when he was on the job. Absolutely crazy to have it woven into the series like that.
I truly enjoyed your overall reactions to this quite excellent series. I’ve already watched it twice and now three times in your company.., which was great fun as I anticipated how you’d react to various scenes. The episode with the child being kidnapped is still the must chilling for me. That image of him going into the locked room with murderous intent… I agree, the ending is just top notch. The glint in his eye… 😂 sometimes you think you’re a wolf but unaware that you’re stalking a grizzly bear. Glorious stuff. Best greetings from Germany
Thanks again for watching this awesome show Chrissie, i loved your reaction to each episode. I don't know if westerns are your thing, but a mini series called " Lonesome Dove " starring Robert Duval.. I loved it and I'm sure you would as well . 😊
Great to watch along ! You would be hard pressed to find another show that is this good from the first episode all the way to the end. Only Ray can go from 3 with weapons to 1 with none , and give you the fight he did 😂 🔪🔥💥😳🧙🏻.
Definitely one of the best endings I've seen of a tv show and that song choice over 'Run' is so perfect. I really wish they had continued on with another season or 2.
That final glance at the camera just encapsulates the whole concept of old age and treachery. He found it comical that these kids were even attempting this with him. Ray is a voice for a generation that deals with this on the daily 😅
Thanks for watching this. It introduced me to your channel and it's been a fun ride. Your reactions are very entertaining and it's difficult to say that about many other channels.
I linked the two guys at the end that way towards Ray for his mate in the farm house because he was the Pres of the bike gang after old mate disappeared. Glad you enjoyed this show, its definitely one of the best written Aussie shows (Tried to avoid spoilers for anyone that reads comments before watching)
I LOVE how this show portrays cover and concealment. I can't think of a single other show that shows how your car door is gonna do fuck all against most bullets like this one does.
Probably the best ending to any series ever! It is still open ended but I felt as though they couldn't really continue even if they wanted to as Ray broke the fourth wall. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on The Magician.
That subtle breaking of the fourth wall and AWOLNATION's Run...Awesome way to end the series! Such a shame we haven't seen more from Scott Ryan in recent times!
Series was a lot of fun, thanks Chrissie, An oldy but a goody that you might enjoy if you havent seen it is The Following with Kevin Bacon. So underrated that series I feel.
Thanks for sharing. Hope see you enjoy more Australian content. We make some good stuff. Again, Animal Kingdom movie and series It's a Date highly recommend Oh and He Died With a Felafel in His Hand is a favourite also.
Chrissie, this has been such a blast watching along with you and gauging your reactions throughout with what I felt when watching Mr Inbetween first time around. The ending is so understated but so rewarding at the same time, the maniacal look to camera is brilliant - I'm amazed Mr Inbetween hasn't got a larger following. Still can't work out the sex tape filming service story line though? Was this originally a larger story piece but got edited down in the final cut? Anyway love watching along with you, cant wait for the next reaction. Would you ever consider TV series or music video reactions?
This has become one of my absolutely favorite series, right along with The Wire, Deadwood, and Ted Lasso (lol..!). And I have rewatched it many times. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it through your (never having seen it before) eyes. Your reactions to its various plot elements and twists were truthful and invigorating, and reminded me of those I’d had upon seeing it initially. My takeaways included that Ray, although a genius in his field, still ended up in the only place he realistically could: Victorious yet ‘dangerously alone’. He is, without doubt, one of my favorite anti heroes, right along with Al Swearingen of Deadwood, and Marlo Stansfield of The Wire. Thx Chrissie. Your commentary and commitment to the series were wonderful. t.
Huge fan of this series, enjoy watching other people's reactions to it, and I must say, you're a delight to waste time with! I hear Scott Ryan recently sold a big script to Hollywood, let's hope it's as great
Chrissie thank you very much for watching Mr Inbetween. It is a show that i love and was nice to watch it again with someone. Im an Aussie guy who literally has zero friends left to even have a conversation with they all died or disapeered or went to jail. Life is so lonely i can't even share a tv show with someone cause there is no one. So it has meant so much to me to be able to watch the show again with someone really awesome and cool. even if its just on youtube. Thank you Chrissie you made my days a little brighter when you released a new video. May i suggest next trying the Australian crime series Underbelly next. Each season is a dfferent story
Thanks for sharing, Dave. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling at the moment 🤍 I remembered discovering reaction channels during lockdown and it really helped me as well! I'm glad we could enjoy this show together :) Take care 🤗
This show tells me that we have to learn how to take care of ourselves against evil people outside. No resting no peace. Thanks for picking this kind of rare jewel like that. Maybe you might check Shogun and Chernobyl later. Take care lady.
Much love Chrissie,thanks for your channel....going to miss you doing reactions to this series.....I actually first saw you doing the once were warriors reaction .I saw this film in nz when I was 17.....your raw emotion is so powerful....thanks Chrissie......it's weird when I first saw you it's like I've meet you somewhere before.....interesting aye
We have dumpling here too , the dimmie he was eating was a home made steamed dimmie , there come all shapes an sizes hahaha fried and steamed , cheaps factory made or yummy home made
For me the ending was great because you could draw your own conclusions on the outcome. I've always felt those 2 guys were sent by Freddy to finish Ray off. Why else would Ray have left Freddy's house that night without killing him? Ray's eventual revenge would be a small glimmer of hope that the show returns at some point.
I subbed your channel for this show. Was a great run. Don’t know what you’re into watching next but I highly recommend The Expanse. A great show for reactions. Would love to see you go through that one. The women in it particularly are fucking badass and they earn that rating. So good. You’ll latch on to a few of them as they’re some of the best characters ever written imo. Oh and Amos in the show and the magician would be great mates in the same universe.
Ray fucked them up soo soo bad, those two would off screamed terribly in that small car space as he's viciously "dealing" with them! The song choice for the ending scene is just awesome pure gold!!
It's a shame that there won't be any more of Ray for us to watch but it's such a great show and it's just an absolutely perfect ending. Thank you for letting us share your journey with this fantastic series. You're really a pleasure to spend time with. PS. Has anybody suggested that you watch Severance yet? That and Mr Inbetween have been my faves of recent years.
Really enjoyed the series/reactions. It wrapped up really well, for an action/thriller it was really nicely understated, the final scenes with Brittany, Gary and Freddy would have probably been really overblown/milked in lesser hands, especially the scene with Ray and Freddy. Also, kinda hoping I see Ryan turn up in - anything really, great actor, but seems to have disappeared??? :/ 10/10 Series, glad you switched me on to it. What's next?
That final murderous look to camera with that grin - so satisfying. What a way to end it.

The gunfight was truly brutal. I'd seen the series before, but watching your reactions has been a lot of fun.
Yeah they didn't hold back on the kinetic force certain weapons have in this series. This and the van ambush scene shocked me with the close realism.
Perfect ending.... leaves it open for Scott to step back in to the role in future if he ever wants to revisit the character.

He thought his dream of seeing the series made was dead and so went and got a ‘real job’ out in the bush driving cabs. The last scene was one of the things that went down when he was on the job. Absolutely crazy to have it woven into the series like that.
I truly enjoyed your overall reactions to this quite excellent series. I’ve already watched it twice and now three times in your company.., which was great fun as I anticipated how you’d react to various scenes.
The episode with the child being kidnapped is still the must chilling for me. That image of him going into the locked room with murderous intent…
I agree, the ending is just top notch. The glint in his eye… 😂 sometimes you think you’re a wolf but unaware that you’re stalking a grizzly bear.
Glorious stuff. Best greetings from Germany
Thanks again for watching this awesome show Chrissie, i loved your reaction to each episode. I don't know if westerns are your thing, but a mini series called " Lonesome Dove " starring Robert Duval.. I loved it and I'm sure you would as well . 😊
Great to watch along !
You would be hard pressed to find another show that is this good from the first episode all the way to the end.
Only Ray can go from 3 with weapons to 1 with none , and give you the fight he did 😂 🔪🔥💥😳🧙🏻.
So loved watching this series with you!!
Definitely one of the best endings I've seen of a tv show and that song choice over 'Run' is so perfect. I really wish they had continued on with another season or 2.
Totally agree. It was THE perfect song the go with that scene and end the show on 💯
That final glance at the camera just encapsulates the whole concept of old age and treachery. He found it comical that these kids were even attempting this with him. Ray is a voice for a generation that deals with this on the daily 😅
Thanks for watching this. It introduced me to your channel and it's been a fun ride. Your reactions are very entertaining and it's difficult to say that about many other channels.
Well said Poss
That's so kind, thank you!!
I linked the two guys at the end that way towards Ray for his mate in the farm house because he was the Pres of the bike gang after old mate disappeared. Glad you enjoyed this show, its definitely one of the best written Aussie shows (Tried to avoid spoilers for anyone that reads comments before watching)
Every time I watch this episode, as it ends I say the same thing - "I NEED MORE!"
Thanks for the reaction to the series. Definitely one of those missed gems.
Now! Let's make journey to peaky blinders or banshee. I sure you gonna enjoy it!
Love your reaction❤
I LOVE how this show portrays cover and concealment. I can't think of a single other show that shows how your car door is gonna do fuck all against most bullets like this one does.
It was a very satisfying ending to the series. I was hoping for more but I think they wrapped it up well.
Probably the best ending to any series ever! It is still open ended but I felt as though they couldn't really continue even if they wanted to as Ray broke the fourth wall. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on The Magician.
That subtle breaking of the fourth wall and AWOLNATION's Run...Awesome way to end the series! Such a shame we haven't seen more from Scott Ryan in recent times!
Series was a lot of fun, thanks Chrissie, An oldy but a goody that you might enjoy if you havent seen it is The Following with Kevin Bacon. So underrated that series I feel.
Wouldn't you love to get a taxi with Ray Shoestring behind the wheel ? Aussie T.V at it's best 🦘🦘🦘
Glad you liked the ending Chrissie.😊
Series was so good. Watching it for the first time was a true ride. Like the style of react too.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope see you enjoy more Australian content. We make some good stuff.
Again, Animal Kingdom movie and series It's a Date highly recommend
Oh and He Died With a Felafel in His Hand is a favourite also.
Best series I've watched and it was fun watching it for the third time with you Chrissie - all the best
The dimmies in this episode are steamed and the ones in previous episodes are fried. I prefer fried
Nah. They were dumplings, not steamed dimmies.
Chrissie, this has been such a blast watching along with you and gauging your reactions throughout with what I felt when watching Mr Inbetween first time around. The ending is so understated but so rewarding at the same time, the maniacal look to camera is brilliant - I'm amazed Mr Inbetween hasn't got a larger following. Still can't work out the sex tape filming service story line though? Was this originally a larger story piece but got edited down in the final cut? Anyway love watching along with you, cant wait for the next reaction. Would you ever consider TV series or music video reactions?
I'd always thought he died at the end ... but then it struck me ... they don't stand a chance, do they? They're already dead
I know how you feel. I loved how it ended but was devastated it was all over.
You might also enjoy a series called No Activity. Be sure to grab the Aussie (original) version, though.
You're the special someone reactor that makes me want to give it
Kes Kes Kes.
Be the 1st, be the best
Kes Kes Kes
We need more seasons
Thanks for the ride! It was very enjoyable!
Driving a taxi is a nod to Scott Ryan's years driving a cab when he couldn't get work as an actor and no one would buy this show's concept.
This has become one of my absolutely favorite series, right along with The Wire, Deadwood, and Ted Lasso (lol..!).
And I have rewatched it many times.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it through your (never having seen it before) eyes. Your reactions to its various plot elements and twists were truthful and invigorating, and reminded me of those I’d had upon seeing it initially.
My takeaways included that Ray, although a genius in his field, still ended up in the only place he realistically could:
Victorious yet ‘dangerously alone’.
He is, without doubt, one of my favorite anti heroes, right along with Al Swearingen of Deadwood, and Marlo Stansfield of The Wire.
Thx Chrissie. Your commentary and commitment to the series were wonderful.
t.
Run!
The magician returns.
Hell of a ride.
I like matt nable in this. I liked him playing the role of Mark standen
Huge fan of this series, enjoy watching other people's reactions to it, and I must say, you're a delight to waste time with!
I hear Scott Ryan recently sold a big script to Hollywood, let's hope it's as great
That's exciting! I'll watch anything he's associated with.
Chrissie thank you very much for watching Mr Inbetween. It is a show that i love and was nice to watch it again with someone. Im an Aussie guy who literally has zero friends left to even have a conversation with they all died or disapeered or went to jail. Life is so lonely i can't even share a tv show with someone cause there is no one. So it has meant so much to me to be able to watch the show again with someone really awesome and cool. even if its just on youtube. Thank you Chrissie you made my days a little brighter when you released a new video. May i suggest next trying the Australian crime series Underbelly next. Each season is a dfferent story
Thanks for sharing, Dave. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling at the moment 🤍 I remembered discovering reaction channels during lockdown and it really helped me as well! I'm glad we could enjoy this show together :) Take care 🤗
This show tells me that we have to learn how to take care of ourselves against evil people outside. No resting no peace.
Thanks for picking this kind of rare jewel like that. Maybe you might check Shogun and Chernobyl later.
Take care lady.
Much love Chrissie,thanks for your channel....going to miss you doing reactions to this series.....I actually first saw you doing the once were warriors reaction .I saw this film in nz when I was 17.....your raw emotion is so powerful....thanks Chrissie......it's weird when I first saw you it's like I've meet you somewhere before.....interesting aye
Just binge watched all these and subscribed:. Nice job 🎉
Thank you!!
We have dumpling here too , the dimmie he was eating was a home made steamed dimmie , there come all shapes an sizes hahaha fried and steamed , cheaps factory made or yummy home made
im gonna miss watching this with you i wish there was more
Amazing series, great ending with fantastic music.
For me the ending was great because you could draw your own conclusions on the outcome.
I've always felt those 2 guys were sent by Freddy to finish Ray off. Why else would Ray have left Freddy's house that night without killing him? Ray's eventual revenge would be a small glimmer of hope that the show returns at some point.
Great show,Soprano vibes.Hope you enjoyed it.😂😂😂😉⏰
I subbed your channel for this show. Was a great run. Don’t know what you’re into watching next but I highly recommend The Expanse. A great show for reactions. Would love to see you go through that one. The women in it particularly are fucking badass and they earn that rating. So good. You’ll latch on to a few of them as they’re some of the best characters ever written imo. Oh and Amos in the show and the magician would be great mates in the same universe.
Most older Aussies sang a completely different version of 'Waltzing Matilda'. The drunk uncle version.
😅
That Wahlberg shooter solitude hair growth though 👹
Ray fucked them up soo soo bad, those two would off screamed terribly in that small car space as he's viciously "dealing" with them! The song choice for the ending scene is just awesome pure gold!!
perfect end to an almost perfect series
Ur reaction to the shotgun scene...priceless !!
It's a shame that there won't be any more of Ray for us to watch but it's such a great show and it's just an absolutely perfect ending.
Thank you for letting us share your journey with this fantastic series. You're really a pleasure to spend time with.
PS. Has anybody suggested that you watch Severance yet? That and Mr Inbetween have been my faves of recent years.
Severance is one of my favourite shows!
@@chrissiereacts ah, fantastic! Roll on season 2.
such an amazing ending
I love how you know what a "root" is
The dude he's eating dimmys with plays Charles Manson in Tarintinos Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
He's also Dewey Crowe in Justified. He does a redneck Kentucky accent so well that Americans didn't believe he was an Aussie.
I enjoyed your reaction to Aus drama. Must be slightly weird coming from another Commonwealth Country.
Really enjoyed the series/reactions. It wrapped up really well, for an action/thriller it was really nicely understated, the final scenes with Brittany, Gary and Freddy would have probably been really overblown/milked in lesser hands, especially the scene with Ray and Freddy.
Also, kinda hoping I see Ryan turn up in - anything really, great actor, but seems to have disappeared??? :/
10/10 Series, glad you switched me on to it. What's next?
the last scene was ice cream and wing mirror all over again
Thank you, love it 👍🦘👋
