This is the first time I have reacted to a TV series. Let me know what you think of the structure.

"I work with people with Trauma" Well strap in man, you're in for a ride. Welcome to the hurt.
"I'm a dad, I'm a husband" yeah, this will be... Something.
@@FredrikHaugen ooooooh weeeeee. Golly. Season 1 act 3 is gna be something. Then season 2 act 2. Ooooooh weeeeeer
@lafatte24 I'm still trying to get over these 2 specific acts, everytime I hear the relevant songs on my Spotify I cry 😢
It's gonna make the therapist need therapy
@@lafatte24 I hope this therapist has a therapist...
Leaving a comment here just after the intro scene - do not feel discouraged about talking about these things in depth, especially with this show. Your thoughtful insights as a trauma therapist specifically are going to be amazing to hear for this show specifically. Someone else mentioned this show being "trauma, the animation by trauma" as silly as it sounds, that is very accurate. And the show is so good at realistically portraying this.
Thanks for the support! My plan is to do initial reactions and impressions like this, and then do other videos, maybe at the end of each arc, which can elaborate and summarise my thoughts as they progress etc. should be a great ride !
I agree but would prefer to see him watch and reflect per scene sort of. It feels like a lot of pausing in one scene, that breaks the flow. Although I love the analysis, but maybe do it in bigger chunks?
@@Fynlanis omg were you referring to my comment perchance?! If so I feel honoured. And famous.
@@TherapistReactsOfficial to add on to main commenter's point though, this is one of the few shows where every episode has so much information packed in. Every line, expression, reaction, actually seems real and meaningful. A lot of reaction channels are more focused on the pageantry and excitement part of reactions, which is fine, but we're excited or your insight because you can offer more of the analytical insight. Even if it's 3 hour long videos just rambling about your thoughts, I think we'd welcome it.
@@I4mGr3mlin I think he mentioned in a diff comment he was planning on doing a separate analysis video after every arc, which I think is a brilliant format and the perfect compromise to those of us who want to hear all the details and others who just want a more streamlined organic reaction vid
I would absolutely love the analysis videos of this show whenever you want to upload them. Could be worth to do maybe after every arc (a set of 3 episodes are the arcs for the show)
Yes this is my plan. My ideas and impression of what is happening will change so I thought I would do initial reactions (like this one) and then do a bit more of a deeper reflection and analysis at the end of each arc.
@@TherapistReactsOfficial thank so much for your insight. I'm just 10 minutes into the video and I'm already enjoying your perspective and thoughts on the characters. Can't wait to see you react and analyze the rest of the show
@@TherapistReactsOfficial I think this is a brilliant idea. Arcane is actually very densely packed information wise, especially so in s2 (it is a bit rushed with A LOT of context clues instead of exposition) so doing an analysis video after every arc would actually yield a lot of content.
0:25 Ohhhh dude this show is literally just EFFECTS OF TRAUMA the animated show, by TRAUMA.
ArePain as we call it in the fan base
@Trods911 I'm missing out I've just been referring to it as the bipanic show that makes me cry
Yeah I was like "Ooooh this is gonna be a good reaction" the second he said that
@@lafatte24 that’s so real
Yeeees we won
Yess we did ✊🏾
Arcane is a show with huge amount of details. You can pause and analyze a single scene of it for days, and still find some clues and details. Your analysis is spot on and I think it pays great respect to the depth of this show.
And it helps a lot to keep in mind seemingly small details of season 1 to better understand some behaviours or decisions that will be made in season 2.
I found you through your reaction to the song of arcane. I will enjoy watching you react to this show! I hope you enjoy it and keep uploading :)
When you said 'Where does Vander go?" I had to pause for like 10 minutes to collect myself, lol. This show will really get to you. Glad you decided to join the ride!
Alot of places, thats where vander goes
I swear.
It's incredible how right away you nailed everything, and also i'm so glad you mentioned Vi's parentification... Powder's trauma is slightly more clear to grasp, but Vi's tend to be overlooked a bit. So excited to see your reaction on the upcoming episodes and second season!
I found you through your "The line" video reaction a few days ago. And I'm thrilled to join you in your journey watching Arcane.
It is an incredibly deep, beautiful, touching show. A masterpiece.
I look fwd to your videos on it ❤
I am absolutely sure you will find A LOT of things to elaborate. TRAUMA is like the second name of the show :D. I mean there is literally no characters without trauma here, no matter how happy an ending they've got.
Oh the misery!
ARPAIN: League of Lesbians
one hand's full set of fingers is too much to count the number of characters with happy endings
the timing was crazy 😭😭 i literally just watched your reaction to the line music video a couple hours ago
Something to know about Arcane is that the story moves in arcs, each arc is three episodes. Episode 3,6 and 9 are always crazy and usually involve some sort of resolution or ending. It is a really great way to keep the story moving and engaging, but not overwhelming. So the current arc is episodes 1-3, and the entire season does not focus on the theft and fallout. It is important, but just a catalyst and the story continues. It really makes you feel like the story covers so much in a few episodes, while not feeling rushed.
It's crazy how much things you have correctly deduced, without any context. Without any spoilers, you got a hold of some pretty major themes and I will be eagerly waiting for the next episodes
As a therapist and HUGE fan of arcane, I love your reactions and analysis of the show so far. Very much looking forward to seeing you watch the rest of the show
2:01 would LOVE an analysis of this show, there's so much to discuss and it would be interesting to hear ur perspective
i second this!!! love the reactions, but i'd want to see an analysis too
Ditto this would be great to hear as well lots of content to go through
Every episode is in the feels, this is just the beginning of your trauma journey of Arcane... especially episode 3... 😭
Man how beautiful is to have the chance to watch a person's first impressions and emotions on a product like this, considering also that you're very empathic and capable of going under the skin of the carachters. I'm really grateful for your choice of recording your first watch, thank you.
I have a depression and this series was hard for me and I can't stop thinking about many scenes I saw there. Even tho I'm during my therapy, I've already leant something new thanks to this video. I hope you will keep this as a series reacting to all the episodes, sir!
It's very interesting that he talks about being curious about different perspectives and what motivates the characters to do what they do, because that's exactly what the series will do with all the central characters, I love it
Found you through your reaction to The Line and only just found out you're a trauma therapist!
I am so, so, SO excited for your perspectives and analysis of this show. It is a masterpiece and a wonderful medium for exploring different facets of both trauma and our individual journeys towards healing.
One thing that really struck me about this show from the jump is that many of the characters show real emotional intelligence, which is real refreshing to see in media.
I feel like too often I see narratives driven by conflicts of miscommunication or poor emotional intelligence, and that’s just frustrating to watch because people don’t usually act that way in life.
Ironically, even though this is fictional, fantastical, and animated, it has some really powerful moments of genuine connection and empathy. I think that’s one of the reasons it’s had the impact it has.
It’s actually also worth noting a large amount of conflicts in arcane are based off complete misunderstandings, but the characters and their motives and world views are so fleshed out that it’s easy to miss how wrong each character is all of the time. When vi is preaching to the council trying to get them to go after Silco, she is convinced he will never stop, and that diplomacy is never an option with him, despite that being objectively untrue. There are other examples but I really don’t want to spoil anything for this guy lol it looks like he’s reading most of the comments
@@Foxtrot6624 It's not worth noting on a reaction to episode 1 when you are sharing details from much later to make your point.
@@MicroMandalorian I believe the majority of people in these comments, including OPs have seen the show. I can talk about it without revealing excessive plot details
your insights are already so accurate and almost foreshadowing hahah it’s amazing to see
How do U do the blue thingy text?😭
@@someoneunknown-g7r oh i didn’t know my comment had a blue text thingy, it doesn’t show on my screen. it’s likely automatic
Great reaction man. Hold your breath for episode 3! Things pick up pace VERY quick. I'm looking forward to see what you think.
Shhhh! We don't mention anything. 🫢
Bro, you're incredible, this show is amazing. The combo of the 2 is just magic. I can't wait for your reaction on episode 2 👌
You cannot believe how excited I am for this and I love how much attention you are paying attention to even individual frames of the show. Sharing your initial thoughts based on what you see is brilliant structure and so fun to watch!! I’ll be excited to see what else you think and feel as the characters progress and experience their trauma in various ways
im so happy you’re reacting to this show! i’d LOVE hearing your insights with your experiences and knowledge. this show is so well done in presenting trauma and psychologically deep characters. i think you’d love it
After watching your initial introduction and I’m just getting to the point where are you talk about how you have seen the the very different directions people end up on their life paths- I just want to reiterate what a handful of other folks have said- this is definitely the perfect show to really pull apart and analyze and get into your thoughts. Specifically around trauma. This show and story is incredible in every way, honestly, but I think the best thing about it is exactly how many different conversations it can spark.
Regardless of how you decide to edit or release it, I would really love to see your real breakdown of everything with wild detail ❤
YESSS SUBBED A FEW DAYS AGO FOR UR INSIGHT TO THIS AMAZING SHOW
2 minutes in - any and all reaction/analysis is welcome! Hoping you like this series as much as the rest of us do.
I highly recommend watching 3 episodes a time. Every season has 3 acts act one is episodes 1, 2, 3, and act 2 is 4,5,6, like every 3 episodes are like a movie with an ending
If this man watches all of arcane and makes a 5 hour long analysis, i will eat it up fr
Thank you so much for looking at everyone's trauma!! As you will see well in the show, Powder's trauma is shown most clearly so a lot of people connect and understand her but the trauma Vi has gone through is just the same, if not more. The only difference is that Vi has to be strong for her little sister and doesn't express it the same way Powder does. A lot of people look past it and blame her for a lot of things when the only thing she is trying to do is protect the people she loves...
Yess super excited for this!! As a med student who needs therapy and someone who’s obsessed with this show, I love to see to see unique insights from therapists and people who deal with trauma
Isnt it amazing how a short animated scene can bring stir so much memory and emotion and reflection to viewers? Your experience you bring is super interesting and would love more episode reactions and analysis!
Thanks for considering starting the arcane reaction .....SUBSCRIBEDDDDD
I love the analysis of the show so far, your interest in the characters is clear to see, I am excited to see your reactions, your analysis has been really interesting to see.
yes, please continue, it is interesting to listen to your arguments from the point of view of a psychotherapist
Loved this reaction! I hope you keep going! There will be so much stuff you will love to get into! Thank you so much for watching this with us!
OMG! A new Arcane reaction series
Every reactor I've seen for Arcane has had to mute everything, so fingers crossed the little clips he's using will be OK. Netflix are super harsh with content violations. Best he keeps it down to the smallest of clips ❤
The entire soundtrack (except "get jinxed", and I'm not sure about "Heavy is the Crown") is originally made just for the show. Every song and piece of lyrics is tailored to the scenes and the characters.
What a delight to watch your reaction. As someone who's just now beginning to work on my childhood traumas and such, I found relation in quite a few of the characters in Arcane, and listening to you break down everything down is so insightful. The information about the three Ss, caretakers and regulations, and thresholds are important things I'm going to bring up with my therapist
Some really great insights in this video. Can't wait for you to sink your teeth into this. Arcane is one of the best pieces of media I have ever seen.
YES❤ WELCOME! So excited for this! I’m happy to get your deeper analysis on the characters and there arcs through out the series. So excited!
So I just got to the point where you very in passing say maybe you should react to the songs…- and the answer is YES YES YES!
Every song was written specifically for the show and the scene in which it appears. They actually serve a purpose similar to the Chorus in a Greek tragedy- Adding additional context to characters and their surrounding world. Sometimes warning them. Sometimes being a literal word for word train of thought. So getting a reaction and breakdown of that would be absolutely incredible and add even more context to your watching experience.
Therapist reacts are my FAV for Arcane reactions. This show is honestly GREAT for your line of work! ;-;
Wow! Im honestly super excited for your perspective! Looking forward and all the best from Europe
Had to subscribe--this reaction and analysis was really great!
YEEES ! Btw, your introduction makes me even more excited about this "journey". Glad you give it a chance 🤍
Damn…lost my dad when I was really young, not even 5 years old so you talking about what can trauma like that do to child that young really made my eyes open. Mom made my sisters and me go to therapist after it happened but being so young it was never explained to me what my “diagnosis” can be or might be. Thank you for this ! Looking forward to watching more of this :)
I just hope everyone is respectful and avoids spoilers 🙏
Yes please!
You're going to love this!! What a journey !❤
I'm at a lost for words with your analysis in this video, your voice is so soothing and overall I found the video so comfortable
i loved your reaction about the first episode of arcane, please keep doing videos about this show. Arcane is a masterpiece
So excited! Won't have time to watch this until tomorrow, but looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Leaving a thumbs up and a comment to support this reaction series. Im so ready!
Thiswas amazing! Thank you for talking about it from your perspective, and the psychological inputs too, it is really fun to look at it knowing where your ideas were spot on or completely amis, and how well put together this show is is trully amazing. Will be waiting for the next episode! Thank you again)
the sound design in this show is so top tier. glad to see your reaction, great stuff!!!
I’m so happy to get more Arcane reaction AND analysis from creators like you!! ❤
Yay! Was just checking your channel for that an hour ago! Let the journey begin!!!
Looking forward to the next episodes. Happy you dont need to wait the 3 years between s1 and s2, those animations take time.
I'm so amazed how well you read their expressions and emotions from the first seconds. Some of those things I only felt after rewatching when I understood what lead them there. Fantastic
Absolutely delighted to see you’ve decided to take a look at this show. Very excited for your insight with trauma being a major theme of the show
Hell yeah! I saw your reactions to the Arcane songs and subscribed specifically because I wanted to see you see Arcane
I just started watching your youtube chanel, and i absolutely love your deep analysis. This is my favorite series and I'm looking forward to the rest of your reaction videos
I really appreciated how you edited this so the important moments were highlighted and you had time to talk about your thoughts. As someone who’s seen the show and is getting a degree in psychology I love getting your thoughts and how you analyze these moments. Looking forward to the future episodes!
I'm so glad I got notified for this
Nice! I was waiting for that, I hope you will love it!
I'm really excited to see your insights following episode 3, 9, s2 ep 6, and 7. These episodes, in my opinion, have the most intriguing psychological discussions to be had surrounding the characters. They largely leave the viewer to form their own interpretations for the motivations and psychological consequences of the characters' actions. Also the show is overall just an incredible piece of entertainment that I feel compelled to share with everyone in my day-to-day life. I am so glad you're embarking on this deeply emotional, tragic, and beautiful journey that is this show.
Oh, I am REALLY looking forward to this series from you. Your reactions as someone who specializes in helping people who have experienced trauma are very welcome as we all process this wonderful, at times incredibly heartbreaking show. Don't worry about missing things on a first watch. Thanks for covering this! ❤️
i’m so so excited for you to watch through both seasons!💓 i loved your reaction to The Line! much love
I love the pausing and when you analyze the scenes. It gives insight on character feelings that I haven't paid too much attention to the first time I watched it.
LOVE your analysis and excited to see more. I could watch you dissect this show for hoursss.
Ended up having time tonight to watch! Loved the analysis and your thoughts. Really looking forward to revisiting the series since I watched it all so quickly, and happy to see you gaining traction from the TOP and Arcane fan bases!
I love your patient and methodical way of viewing this show. don`t be discouraged by a few that prefer quick :-O face reactions. There is a balance to be found, what you`re doing is very unique and even the first episode shows the things you`re thinking about are very relevant to thi show. And it`s a show that takes its characters seriously so a serious analysis/expert opinion plays into what the show does quite well :-)
Found your channel through your reaction to The Line!! Really excited to see your reaction to this series and hearing your thoughts! There’s so so much to analyze and pick apart in Arcane, especially through the lens of trauma :D
I was looking forward to this video. I love your insight and perspective on this so far, it is very eye-opening.
Your video from the song the line just randomly poped up in my dashboard and today i saw your stromae reaction and now this one. It feels so good to watch you and listen to your voice, it`s so calming but also brings your emotions out so well, it`s realy nice. Very touching, beautiful work, thanks for all that.
Thank you for the kind comment and thanks for checking out the videos!
Enjoyed your first reactions to the show Stuart and I am excited to see how your reactions progress as you move through the show. I have noticed how any scenes that bring up children, especially girls makes you instinctively very protective, which tells me what an instinctual parent you are.
Love these reactions and all the insight you give as a therapist and experienced person! Thank you this is very enjoyable :)
Love the dense discussion. I was getting lost in thought on every observation you made and realizing I'd missed the next 2 or 3. Lots of rewinding. Hope you enjoy the show as much as we do and definitely leave the sound track listen until afterward.
I'm so happy you're watching this show, loved the reaction and the way you analyize the scenes
I am so glad you are sharing your reaction to Arcane. I wasn't sure about yet "another" reaction series on season 1 but you're killing it. ❤I'm so glad to hear your descriptions about developmental processes in the disparity of Arcane's world. And, then describe real world examples and ideas based on your education, reasoning and experience. It is much appreciated as you give us another prism from which we can watch and further enjoy this show. 💯Thank you.
I love your analysis of the scenes and the psychology behind them so much so far! I've watched this show so often and yet you made me realize how much the beginning scene must have shaped the two sister's personalities or motivations. They lost their parents and Vi especially seems so determined to protect Powder and her adoptive family out of fear of loosing anyone else. I'm exited to hear more of your thoughts about how the character's experiences will shape them as you seem to read them well so fast! :)
I found your channel recently and am so glad you’ll be covering Arcane. I really enjoyed your thoughts on episode 1.
ooooooh boy.....can't wait for your analysis on episode 3
I'm really looking forward to this! Thank you!
I loved every last second of your reaction, CANT WAIT FOR THE REST :D so insightful and indepth. ooooh your sooo in for a very wild ride
That puts a smile in my face! I love your thoughts and insights, and this show tackles a lot of subjects I think you can elaborate based on you professional background
I absolutely love this !!! Amazing amazing reaction hope you continue
YAY THIS IS AMAZING IM SO EXCITED
so excited to see you react to the show!!! My favorite show of all time. And there's a lot of trauma to unpack.
Thanks for the coverage! You did great :)
Love this reaction, and can't wait to see more! I enjoy your insight so much
Loving this. Can’t wait to see/hear your thoughts for the rest of the series😊
Wow this was an incredible first episode. I'm glad you decided to check out the series, I'll be watching closely for the next one!
Thank you for creating such insightfull content. I really enjoy your comments, watching the video like a podcast of sorts.
Soooo excited for this. I found you because of the Arcane music reactions and cant wait to see what your view on the show is!
Can’t wait to watch it!!! Thank you for the reaction
Yes! finally I've been wanting to see ur reactions to the songs after all the context. Especially since u do trauma analysis
This is an excellent way to examine of characters in this show. It reinforces how well written it.
I'll be looking forward to the episodes and analysis. Your insight and your soothing voice makes it a really nice video to watch. Looking forward to more :3
