  • PeopleWatching is a show from Subnormality that was canceled after just two seasons. The show stands out to me as a piece of art that I continually come back to. Hopefully this video will instill a love of PeopleWatching in you as well.

    I have watched this show so many times, for so long and only now have I heard someone not only talk about it but give it the respect that it deserves. Nearly every episode has something I can relate to and learn about, especially episodes 3 and 7 of season 2 for me.

    Dude, I rewatched this entire series recently! I rarely rewatch videos like this, but People Watching was the best thing ever on the Cracked channel (saying a lot since I binged practically everything they ever did and continue to do).
    In particular, the episode about writing and rewriting emails to a teacher who inspired you just hit me hard, and the pilot is still one of the best in the batch. I usually tended to like the ones that focused on one or two characters most, but that first episode was just that impressive in its formatting, given its eventual focus on two individuals.
    I need to rewatch these again… Needless to say, I very much appreciated your discussion of these episodes. Thanks for devoting the time!

      Just a small addition to this: even for those who haven’t experienced similar issues to these characters (I can’t say I’ve had most of them), there’s something truly incredible about how they impart those experiences to the audience. There’s an episode that takes place mostly between two brothers who have become adults and remained in a very supporting relationship. Their conversation throughout the episode goes across what appears to be a long stretch of time, and in the end, it’s revealed that one of the two had previously died but remains a consistent source of support. It’s not a series that wallows in sadness, though much of it is colored by depression, anxiety and loneliness. The takeaways are often hopeful or somehow find the silver lining in a bad situation, though the writers weren’t afraid to leave you with none of that in some episodes. A lot of this series is about shared experiences, and even if you haven’t had them (my brother is alive and well), you’ll find a source of connection with them that you may not have even thought possible.

    i hadn't expected to run across someone talking about this show -- i remember watching it when it came out and remember really loving it, and even now the dating with depression episode in particular still stays with me for how it made me feel seen. thank you for making me think about it again, genuinely. peoplewatching was a really special show and it had some amazing insights, and it's cool to someone talking about that.

    I’m so glad I’m not the only one who rewatches People Watching religiously. God what an actual blessing to in 2022 (even when UA-cams algorithm has been screwed the past few years) be able to stumble upon a UA-cam channel treasure trove full of niche feelings and opinions that align with your own ✨ I’m so happy that I’m alive at the right time in the right place to relate to your video and the people in this comment section 😊
