The way I laughed so hard when you took a time out for Imogen saying her crush was Ben. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Can you imagine being Olivia Coleman’s son and not turning out well? He should be embarrassed.” 😂😂👏
Fun fact: The actor that plays Ben said "I want to punch Ben in the face, and it's my face!"
I must have rewinded you walking out at the "Ben confession" an unhealthy amount of times 😂😂😂 (love this kind of editing!)
It legit had me dead. 💀💀
I laughed so hard
Same, it was ✨hilarious✨
😂😂 same
Exactly - this was all of us!!!
that‘s an electronic drumset charlie is playing, it doesn‘t make sounds of its own, you have to plug it into an amp or headphones. it‘s great for apartment living and it gives you a variety of different drum sounds. you could even put the wilhelm scream on a cymbal.
although a friend of mine whos brother has this set said it still makes a lot of noise xD must sound like agressive drumming on plastic boxes outside the headphones haha
@@teapots_and There's a reason Tori threw a book at Charlie in episode 8 last season lol
@@agranosclemyeah my mom does something similar 😂😂
Thanks! Some of my patrons filled my in, but that makes sense. Also side note, I had a neighbor growing up who played the drums constantly… I should’ve gotten an electric drum set for them as a gift for Christmas…
I felt the exact same way when Imogen said she liked Ben. I could have screamed.
The clue that the dad is still supportive he says "No hanky-panky til you're *married*." It's really just a normal parental reaction to their kids becoming sexual beings. The mom is just strict and has knee-jerk reactions. They didn't handle that perfectly (and there's more in the future) but it is realistic.
I also get the sense that dad often plays the middle ground between mom and the kids, with mom staking much more extreme reactions to things. He gets out the middle ground before she has a chance to offer her more extreme decisions.
I interpreted the no sex rule as suggesting he expects a HET marriage, as some think marriage is only a het thing. No sex until marriage is about keeping hets from getting pregnant, which is not a concern with gays and thus makes no sense.
@@Aeroldoth3 Nah. He's very supportive of Charlie. In the comics he actually tells the mom she's being to strict. He may even just be teasing Tori at that point because she keeps objecting to "hanky panky".
@@Aeroldoth3 Accidental pregnancies are not a concern with cis gays, yes, but unprotected sex still offers a lot of risks even for gay couples, such as STDs (and for straight people as well, which is why everyone who has sex should use condoms). But aside from that, it's pretty usual for parents to be uncomfortable with the idea of their kids having sex, especially if said kids are minors
@@Aeroldoth3 uhhhh no? I don't even _almost_ understand how you could possibly perceive it that way... You're free to interpret things however you feel fit, but we're also free to tell you that your interpretation is way off base .... That clearly wasn't the intention of the writers, and the majority of people don't see it that way either... Maybe you just have some kind of specific trauma or something that is leading you to that conclusion....? I don't know your life, but imif that's the case, I really hope you get the help and support you require..... Charlie's dad comes across as incredibly loving and supportive (in both the show and graphic novels), even if he may not fully understand or relate to the situation personally..... It's just absolutely WILD to me that you would even have that take on the situation....
(Edit: also, using terminology and referring to people as "HETS" just feels incredibly wrong and inappropriate, if not outright bigoted.....)
😂😂😂 the dramatics after "it's Ben" 😂😂😂
I’m surprised that ended up being a such a surprise. I mean, when she’s not trying to ingratiate herself with Nick, she’s within a few feet of Ben most of the time in Season 1, except for when she’s actually ON his arm (like at the St John’s match).
"Shouldn't he have his own place?"
Let's be real, given how difficult it is to find a place to live nowadays, David still being at home is the most realistic part of the show.
especially since he's still in university. He's only home on break
Although he keeps throwing the, “maybe I should have stayed with dad” dig into his conversations. I’m guessing he didn’t actually ask, or he would have gotten the story about the home renovation.
Very true, I’m just heavily inclined to roasting him at any opportunity
@@agranosclemyeah most student accommodation is only a 9 month lease
The bit about Charlie not being a fan of Marvel movies is funny, considering his actor, Joe Locke, is set to appear in Agatha Coven of Chaos.
Canonically, the movie they are watching is Iron Man. You can see the DVD cover in Vol 3 of the comics.
Oh no way! Glad he got cast too 👌
Let's face it in real life Nick and Charlie would have been the talk of the school after he walked off the field on sports day and took Charlie by the hand and walked off.
True! I almost take that scene as a moment of fantastical realism
I think some of the students definitely picked up on it and have been gossiping. Without spoiling too much, you'll get a sense that there are others with suspicions like Imogen! But heteronormativity is also a VERY powerful force, so it doesn't surprise me that there are kids who have always seen Nick as straight, who could reconcile that moment with that idea of him in their heads. It happens irl too. Last year the actor who plays Nick dropped so many hints that he didn't identify as straight and just didn't want to publicly label his sexuality, yet people insisted he was straight and "queerbaiting" for months, until he unfortunately felt forced to publicly come out as bi. And even now, there are still jerks who refuse to believe he's anything but straight. @@nickreacts6394
this season is so special to me i couldn’t wait to see the 3rd volume come to life
David is in college so he's about 5 years older than Nick. Their parents separated when Nick was 5. You can see how the separation affected both of them.
Your reaction to Imogen confessing to her crush on Ben is so validating 😂
After you're done with this show, please watch Red, White, and Royal Blue! Oh, and I love your reactions! Although I still think of you as Thor, Nick!
I haven’t heard of that, I’ll look it up, thanks for the recommendation!
@@nickreacts6394 I can also recomend Young Royals
You should
GCSEs are national exams sat in Year 11 (10th Grade) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They are in a range of subjects - typically 8 to 10. Their level is that of the American High School Diploma. Students who enter Year 12/13 study for A Levels (which are like US AP courses). 3 to 4 A levels are required for University Entry.
(Scotland has its own equivalents for GCSEs and A Levels).
Thank you!
Also, keep in mind that Harry’s not just a bully. He’s the leader of the popular clique who considers himself Nick’s really good friend, and he has been working all through Season 1 to separate Nick from Charlie. His shock tactics backfired at the cinema, but he’s still thinking that if he gives Nick enough space to mellow out, then they can put the falling out behind them. Harry doesn’t think fighting is a big deal finds it a useful way to blow off steam, kinda like rugby. This season he shifts to trying to win Nick back in his condescending and backward way, and is completely clueless about why it’s the wrong approach because he’s lacks the self-awareness and the emotional maturity to properly analyze the mess he’s gotten himself into. People keep wondering why Harry won’t leave Nick and Charlie alone. It’s because Harry sees he’s losing Nick to Charlie and wants to win him back.
Your reaction to Imogen saying it's Ben is the best and only reaction acceptable to that scene
I loved this reaction! But I always find it funny how many people are surprised.
I mean, it is kinda obvious, with like the benches thing, and the St Johns game thing...😅
I absolutely loved this season! I love the exploration of all the different characters.
Nick when Imogen mentions a crush: "Is it Harry?" Me: Oh boy it is so much worse!
It is an electronic drum kit, so you wear headphones to hear it, with a real drum kit you wear them for protection from the sound.
Charlie is playing on an electronic kit, these days mainly used for practice purposes but they were used a bit in electronic music. My husband had a kit at one point. He may still. He has a huge collection.
Your reaction to Charlie saying he’d protect Nick at the end of the first episode is similar to Tori: she smiles a bit uncomfortably
We saw Charlie's mom once in S 1, she asks Charlie to get the door [off screen] when Nick is coming by the morning after the Kiss. She sees them in the hall, Nick dripping wet, and says, "Nick! I didn't know you were coming 'round this morning." And Charlie says Nick was coming around to pick up a jumper he'd left behind. Mom gives a look that says that dripping wet in her front hall is pretty sketch to pick up a jumper [sweatshirt or sweater]. Then she suggests that Charlie might want to change out of his pajamas because they're going to to Grandma's this morning. Nick grins at Charlie because he now knows what Charlie sleeps in.
this scene was so beautiful and so romantic and the song was perfect for this scene and rainbows around char looking at the photoes was so magical and there passion i cryed in this scene and to see how happy they are together its so amazing scene just love it
Kit Connor, in a podcast, talked about the 6 weeks of rugby camp he did (Joe Locke quit pretty quickly, rationalizing that Charlie isn't supposed to bw good). Kit wasn't that great, according to himself, and they had to do a lot of tricks to make him look better than he is. Joe Locke said the other runners in season 2 had to kind of slow down so he could be appear to be really fast.
Kit Connor also talked about having to put on weight for the role because he was too thin after spending lockdown going for really long walks. His previous roles tended to be either unconventional or nerd. He was young Elton John in "Rocketman", the voice of Pan, Lyra's daemon in "His Dark Materials", and as one
a DnD-playing underclassmen of a private boys" (public in UK) school in an underrated horror comedy called "Slaughterhouse Rulez". He's actually got a musical background rather than jock, although he discovered he likes working out at the gym.
I’m not surprised by Charlie’s parent’s reaction to me it was a normal one they didn’t care that he was with Nick they cared about what they were doing all the times they were over each others houses with the door closed
I, too, was perplexed about how David and Nick could’ve turned out so differently. However, if you think about it, David has to be AT LEAST 3 years older than Nick. That means he got 3 extra years or more with his dad. You can see by the way he talks about his dad throughout the season that he admires him. I think the rift in the family made David want to emulate his dad and curry his favor without having much opportunity to actually bond with him meaningfully, since his dad is so distant. He’s insecure and lost and less grounded than he would be if he was all-in on his mom being the superior role model. He alternates between wanting to be wanted by Nick and his mother and feeling like his dad would have been the better choice to live with this summer. In his very first scene, he is fishing for reassurance that he’s been missed, and he keeps bugging Nick and putting his nose in Nick’s business because he wants to feel more connected with him without having the emotional maturity to figure out how. He’s familiar with the old blueprint of the antagonistic sibling role that includes stealing toys and wrestling and generally messing around, but hasn’t figured out how to bridge the gap to becoming a sibling that Nick would look up to. He’s just a mess, and you can see how he’s trying to connect with Nick in the most backward way possible, and he feels alienated when it doesn’t work. He’s a piece of work, but he is the product of a broken home in which he is less secure in his mother’s love and has manufactured a fantasy about his father’s love. Nick really trusts and loves his mom, making him more secure, more grounded, and more open to her positive influence. Most people revile David, but of all of the villains of this series, he’s the one I pity the most.
It happens. My older brother and I had very different experiences. We get along really well now but he's 60 and I'm 56. And I will owe him forever for introducing me to my soul mate, my husband of 36 years who I've been friends with since I was 14.
Thanks for this comment. I was feeling similar things about David but couldn't quite put it into words, and you've articulated it so well.
Canonically, David is 20, so he's four years older than Nick. During the dinner party scene in the comics, Nick states that David has always bullied him. Nick attributes this to David's own self-hatred and says as much. I, too, think this is likely a result of David having a much harder time with the divorce since he remembers it more clearly. He also is massively insecure and needs to fit in with popular, posh people at university, a lot of whom aren't very nice.
@@katekolpan771 oh, thanks for that extra insight!
I honestly just love watching these reactions videos and seeing everyone’s reaction to Imogen saying her new crush is Ben💀. Nick, you’re reaction was literally me😭!!!
It’s the fact that instead of just doing his essay so he could see Nick he did everything but the essay and snuck out to see him when he could’ve just finished the essay 😂
Stephen Fry being the unseen but always heard headmaster is my favorite little detail that admittedly took me too long to notice.
Not usually my kind of story but the realism moments mixed with all the heartwarming moments make it a hard one to miss. I think overall the message is a really good one. There will always be people who misunderstand you, just need 1 person who gets you and never misunderstand/doubt yourself.
I'm sure Charlie's mum was fine when he came out. But having a flesh & blood & buff boyfriend has brought out her protective side. She doesn't want him to get hurt. She thinks this is the first guy he's ever dated.
Edit: Also no one knew about his former toxic relationship with Ben.
It may be different if 1. Charlie hadn’t been through such hell before and 2. He was clearly prioritising Nick over his own needs (schoolwork etc.)
Yeah, I think most people forget that Nick is literally the only person who knows about Ben. No one else is aware of that. And it's something that has had a massive impact on Charlie that continues to this day.
Yeah I guess I was hoping for more of a reaction like Olivia Coleman had, but I think you’re right, and I also think their concern is appropriate in a lot of ways. It’s also very realistic, so props to the show even if it’s causing some stress for Charlie it’s a part of many teenagers actual life
Their concern is understandable, especially after parents' evening, but imo it is kind of sad that they didn't express ANY support when Charlie told them he had a boyfriend. He was clearly excited to share the news with a big smile on his face, and they immediately trampled on that with their cold reaction. They don't do much to make Charlie feel like they're people he can confide in with good OR bad news in the future without being judged harshly.
Without spoiling anything, I personally felt Charlie's uncharacteristic academic struggles and avoidance this season was a red flag signaling some deeper issues going on with him. I think if your star student kid (in the comic Charlie's actually listed at the top of his year) suddenly stopped doing his schoolwork, a more empathetic, serious conversation to work out what exactly is going on and come up with a solution together would be warranted, and more effective than just berating him and putting all the blame on his new relationship.
In the comic, Charlie's parents are actually pretty excited he has a boyfriend until they find out it's Nick. I don't think this has much to do with Nick as a person, but it's more of a shock reaction because they've both assumed Nick is straight. I also think Jane is probably internally freaking out a little bit because she's left her 15-year-old to his own devices with this attractive, older rugby player without realizing there was any potential for anything romantic, so her reaction is playing into some stereotypes about high school jocks (this assumption comes up more than once in the comics). Jane wants to protect Charlie, but she's also really bad at communicating with him (there are reasons for this, but they contain massive spoilers so I won't elaborate), hence her overbearing nature and, sometimes, unreasonable behavior.
His dad's reaction, which is brought on by Tori making a crack about grandchildren in the comics so it's less out of left field, while pretty old fashioned, is one that a lot of kids would get from a parent, which is kind of refreshing since it suggests that Julio just views their relationship the same way he would view any relationship. My high school SO had parents like Sarah, who definitely didn't care if I slept over, but my parents were like Charlie's and definitely wouldn't have allowed that because people have different parenting styles.
I'm so happy you're just starting your S2 journey! I binged it in 1 day & watch multiple UA-camrs and they're all at different stages/episodes. Will be interesting seeing how you react to the last few episodes 😢
you're saying imogen correctly now hahaha! glad you're enjoying the show still! thank you for the reactions!
I love these nick, Young Royals next please ❤
About the drum set- its an electronic one! When charlie wears the headphones he can hear the music but others just hear the sound of the sticks hitting the pads.
When I found out Imogen's crush was Ben I literally cycled through the 5 stages of grief 😂
Same
Charlie’s parents don’t have a problem with him being gay, I think it was just him having a secret boyfriend for so long and them not knowing, also David is an asshole but to be fair in the uk it’s common to go home to your parents house in the holidays and move out after you’ve graduated, still hate him tho 😂
Yeah I actually do understand a lot of Charlie’s parents concern. But Ben? I’m just going to trash him any chance I get, justified or not 😂
@@nickreacts6394 oh yeah no trashing ben is my favourite thing to do 😂
Such a beautiful show. And your reactions are lovely and thoughtful. And yes please, more Tori!
You are too kind, thank you!! And loving the Tori love! 😊
3:08 - This was a real school location in Berkshire. The exterior scenes were all filmed at The E-ACT Burnham Park Academy in Buckinghamshire, the actual school had closed in 2019, and so the production found it cheap to use. The interior scenes of the school were filmed at Herne Bay High School in Kent.
Love the t-shirt Dude!
Thank you!
I honestly think ontop of being in his first real relationship, Charlie is also dealing with flashbacks of his time with Ben and how that has caused him to feel!!!
We love a happiness montage!
The silent walk away after the crush on Ben reveal is so real lmaoo
David was away at university and is just home for the summer break. also, I noticed that a lot of reactors missed this but Charlie’s mom was in episode 4 of last season when Nick came over in the rain. she told Charlie to get dressed because they were going to Grandma’s house; it was a very short scene but she was there. anyway, I’m so excited for you to see the rest of the season because it’s SO GOOD! 🩷💜💙
"What an amateur, Snyder would never believe that" 😆 Your unending appreciation of Snyder, even this long after watching btvs s3 is hilarious.
Charlie's "Not a fan of Marvel movies" comment is widely thought to be the show's little nod to Joe Locke getting a part in a Marvel show.
Also, yes! As a Brit, I can confirm that you are now saying Imogen correctly 😆
Not him going through the five stages of grief after Impgen said it was ben 😂 (that was kinda me whe I first saw it tho so can't really blame hom)
8:46-9:19 these moments living in my brain rent free 🤣🤣🤣
Stooooop 😂😂😂
Same 😂😂
NEW SEASON, I absolutely loved this season❤
Finally!!! I was waiting for this reaction ☺️😍
Love your reactions & shirt! Where can I get one!?❤
Thanks so much! The shirt is available in my merch store here: www.nextlevelnaked.com
@@nickreacts6394 wish you had bigger sizes
I was so put off by Charlie's mom. There's no "I'm happy for you", instead she's basically saying "he's too good for you". Wtf? Btw I respect the Snyder reference 😂
Loooove Season 2.
9:09 the way that i started CACKLINGGG
Nick and Charlie were watching the first Iron Man in the comics
OMG. Your reaction when Imogen says Ben! LOVED IT! And cried :) Love all of your reactions though :)
Yeah Charlie’s parents really actually suck in my opinion. I think that’s one of his issues dealing with his mental health in the future. His dad is okay but his mom is cold towards him and Tori and definitely has the last day in their marriage.
Charlie’s dad has good instincts, for the most part. I wish he took the lead in these disciplinary situations or at least took the mom aside and had a productive talk with her and helped her see things differently. Also, they would get so much further if they sat down and talked with Charlie about what was going on instead of making assumptions and automatically implementing restrictions. Even if Charlie couldn’t really articulate his issues (which extend beyond being distracted by Nick to actual PTSD with recurring stress triggers and inadequate coping tools), then Charlie would at least feel more supported and more inclined to think their priorities have his best interest in mind. By steamrolling over him and shutting down all his attempts to talk, they’ve jettisoned any hope of buy-in from Charlie and initiated the disordered coping strategy that he uses when he feels like he has no control. His parents really accelerated his spiral, and it’s so upsetting to watch.
sorry I meant to say last say not last day
@@elisabethbauman6190 exactly, I also noticed that Charlie never actually stood up for himself unless the others in his life made him feel like he mattered, like Mr. Ajayi telling him to express his feelings to Ben, not to let anyone make him disappear, and Nick and his other friends. It seems like his parents are really uninvolved and uninterested. It made me so mad when his mother made the comment that there was plenty of drama in their household, like where bitch?? Charlies your son and that's your job to give him that safe space to be himself instead of the embarrassment and shame vibes I can feel coming off of him most times, until someone with actual warm feelings for him gives him a little push of confidence.
@@southernbellebabies I had the same thought! Where’s that drama coming from, Mommie Dearest? Hmmm?
Thanks for the reaction!
This season is very good and significant. Having read the graphic novels recently, my experience with this season was so much hard hitting and impactful.
As for similar vibe shows, I would definitely recommend the movie Red White and Royal Blue, and Young Royals after this.
3:46 i am going too take a guess you dont know what gcse’s are and yes it is like a big exam in yr11 (yu have mocks yr10) as well i thibk its an electric drumset. S2 is much better then s1 as well.
I think people overreact to how Charlie’s mom (in particular) reacts when she finds out his grades are tanking. A few things in her defense: First, Charlie is only 15, and we are led to believe had always been a good student. He obviously needs help prioritizing in the short term. Second, the ban was only until he completed his history essay. Instead, Charlie chose to wait until the very last minute, and was caught sneaking out. She’s a little cold and harsh, granted, but her instincts as a parent are correct. Sometimes parents need to help their children prioritize, even if the kids think other things are more important at the time.
@@springform_99 totally agree. In volume 4 it’s explained somewhat why she is so stern and cold.
Her instinct as a parent are not even close to be correct. She blames everything on Nick and doesn’t help Charlie in learning how to balance his personal life with his school life but instead only pushes him into actively avoiding his school work. She doesn’t listen to Charlie, blames it on Nick, doesn’t listen to her husband’s input, imposes a ban and then gets angry at him. That’s bad parenting. A good parent would’ve talked to their children, helped them in learning how to balance their school and personal life and would’ve made sure he had boundaries while still having his freedom. Charlie was happy for the first time since the year before. He was relentlessly bullied, he doesn’t eat, he has mental health problem and he can’t even talk to his parents because they dismiss him immediately. Nick is the last reason on why he is failing, he is happy for once and it’s only normal for him to cling so much to his happiness
i loved this season it´s my confort show
You have suuuch nice hair !
The dad is still supporting Charlie he didn’t ban nick from ever coming over just that they have to set some boundaries for their son. Yes he could have chose better words but he is still supporting his son just with boundaries a normal parent would set
Your reactions are always so good
Can't wait to see you react to the entire season 🤩😍🩵💛
i love thao lol
Then I suggest Broadchurch for Olivia ... thank me later ☺️.. it a three season show
