FIRST TIME WATCHING: Squid Game!!! (S1E1)
Added 2021-11-03 16:01:03 +0000 UTCHELLO and SURPRISE AGAIN!!
I couldn't help but jump on this bandwagon and check out this new show!
I hope y'all don't mind that I made the executive decision to dive on into this one. I promise that after this series wraps, I'll do a poll for you guys to help pick the next show. I'll also likely go back to doing just one series with more of a focus on movies again for a while.
I just couldn't stay away from this viral sensation and I feared that if I waited any longer, too much would get spoiled. Looking forward to going on this ride with you! As always, thanks so much for your support here on Patreon. Until the next one, ✨stay golden!✨
For syncing purposes, the intro card for the episode plays at around 10:26. I will be including a little text overlay for that in future videos, rather than here in the post.

Comments
OMG for some reason I couldn't find these when I first joined your Patreon (even though I joined specifically for this show, at first). I must have searched for the wrong thing. I must have somehow misspelled squid and game at the same time. So glad to see these full reactions, can't wait to watch them (I loved your edited reactions).

2022-06-23 23:06:05 +0000 UTCI legit was waiting for one of my reactors to watch this so I'm ready to FINALLY get to it --- and I've avoided ALL spoilers.
Jason Dolan
2021-11-19 04:24:20 +0000 UTCIt is fairly disturbing and gory.
Martin
2021-11-18 22:28:08 +0000 UTCLove that you are doing this and Ted Lasso! I will recommend The Witcher and Ozark for the poll because both will be starting new seasons soon! I know you will love both!
Brent
2021-11-13 06:23:08 +0000 UTCThis may seem petty but i think you're watching the English close caption rather than the english subtitles... the Close Captioned version is definitely the lessor version. Missies some great lines.
Garrett Henderson
2021-11-10 19:34:56 +0000 UTCso someone probably did this but between 1100 1200 won = $1
michael denny
2021-11-08 18:40:30 +0000 UTCWhen will this go up on youtube? I'm too scared to watch it by myself yet so I need your clips to let me know if it's going to be too disturbing or not XD.
Catherine
2021-11-08 17:12:34 +0000 UTCthe funniest thing about squid games is the people who go online and try to talk about how to legally create in IRL. FYI it cannot be done legally no matter what LOL.
Lucifer Moon
2021-11-07 10:26:46 +0000 UTCThe phone number on the card was changed. Originally it showed a real korean number but whoevers phone it was got so many prank calls that they had to go back and edit it

2021-11-05 21:54:55 +0000 UTCDefinitely check out Alice in Borderland if you end up liking this show.

chicks dig me
2021-11-05 08:11:15 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you're watching this lol
Marcus Carter
2021-11-05 06:35:02 +0000 UTCDon't ever feel like you have to apologize for a show or movie you want to react to. You're the CEO here. Just keep it fun and entertaining and your channel will thrive.
Obsolyeet
2021-11-04 22:30:32 +0000 UTCLove that you are doing this and just took the plunge!
James M
2021-11-04 18:11:54 +0000 UTCWhy is that?
chicks dig me
2021-11-04 17:32:26 +0000 UTCIn "Squid Game"? In this episode?
Thomas Yanez
2021-11-04 16:46:07 +0000 UTCAbsolutely, there will be a strong temptation to spend more if you start winning but then lose that money. It's related to the 'Sunk Cost Fallacy' as well, where you feel like you have to spend more on something so you don't lose the value of the money you've already spent (like when your trashy old car you just dropped $500 on for repairs suddenly needs another $2000, which is basically what it's worth, but you feel like the other $500 will be wasted if you don't do it.)
Eric Bogerd
2021-11-04 15:46:27 +0000 UTCFor what it's worth, I prefer when you pick the show! It's good fo you to be interested in what you are watching, it's good for me to watch stuff I might not normally choose, and surprises are fun
Martin
2021-11-04 14:01:01 +0000 UTCRE: Gambling. If you ever decide to actually try it, I find it it best to set aside a certain amount of money and tell yourself "This money is gone. It is spent. And I will not spend a penny more than this. If I get some or all of it back, great! If not, I've already said goodbye to it." And view it as spending that money on a form of entertainment. Essentially you make sure you set a budget and do not, under any circumstances, go over that budget. The "Gambler's Fallacy" is real, and easy to get caught up in.

2021-11-04 11:08:25 +0000 UTCRocky II would have been a better surprise
Justin Credible
2021-11-04 06:40:20 +0000 UTCHave the Marvel movies have taught you nothing? There are always after credit scenes now, lol
Cameron Nichols
2021-11-04 04:19:09 +0000 UTCCan’t stand that argument that something has been ‘done to death’. The same can be said about Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. That shouldn’t matter.
Dooly
2021-11-03 23:32:54 +0000 UTCWow - glad I waited to watch this with Nat reacting. I was also able to put off learning anything about it (outside of seeing tons of people in Halloween costumes based upon the show. Super suspenseful but always more fun watching someone else watch it/ react to it! Even people at work were talking about it when it "first broke Netflix," and I managed to avoid any comments there (in one team SLACK channel). Excited to watch Nat react to the rest.

Bryce
2021-11-03 23:26:28 +0000 UTCI highly doubt that.
Dooly
2021-11-03 23:24:10 +0000 UTCSO GLAD that you chose this! xD I'm just hoping that you crank these out because this is a show that's high intensity and waiting between episodes is awful. xD I sped through the whole season/series in the same day. It was ROUGH. I did it like you, after the initial wow of it died down. Hoping that you do continue with the series! :)
Logan Kerlee
2021-11-03 23:09:23 +0000 UTCPretty sure if you'd have put Squid Game in a poll it would have won. I know I have been hoping you'd jump on this one and am excited!
Stephen Switzer
2021-11-03 22:40:56 +0000 UTCBreaking bad would be a wicked show to get into next. Maybe throw it on the poll if you’re interested.
Marlon Nicolle
2021-11-03 22:18:43 +0000 UTCCool!! glad you're reacting to this!
Ben Violette
2021-11-03 21:08:39 +0000 UTCNice surprise Nat. Hadn’t watched it yet but it was on the “to do” list. Looking forward to watching it with you!
Kit Thomas
2021-11-03 20:44:40 +0000 UTCI was wondering when you would check out this show. Thank you for this nice surprise.
Adam Sandoval
2021-11-03 20:25:58 +0000 UTC"He's gonna die, so fast" Girl, you called it right then and there! 😅 I'm thrilled you're reacting to Squid Game. Out of all the reactors I love, you're the one I wanted to watch do this show the most! I'm so happy!

2021-11-03 19:53:28 +0000 UTCAwesome you're doin this, been wanting to watch it again and now i have a great reason to do so :) Also thank you for watching in Korean, i think everything is best enjoyed in their original language! Dubs take so much away from the experience in my opinion.
Inka
2021-11-03 19:43:04 +0000 UTCThis has already been done to death...

2021-11-03 19:17:02 +0000 UTCOh gosh, not this show.. lol
Rick Runge
2021-11-03 19:11:47 +0000 UTCSo excited for you to watch this! The relationships and social commentary are so good and I’m excited to hear your thoughts ☺️
RationallySassy
2021-11-03 18:23:29 +0000 UTCHi Nat! Great reaction, it was really nice, I had the impression it went much too fast hahaha, the show let me neutral when I watched the 3 first episodes, but I think I would enjoy it more with your reactions, I can't wait to see the next one 😄 And I really think it would be nice to see you react to more foreign (non-English speaking) movies/shows I hope you're fine, take care, be safe and stay golden! 💛

My recommended "offset" for this reaction is 480.9.

Natalie Gold
2021-11-03 17:23:31 +0000 UTCAnother comment to reiterate, there are two sets of subtitles. You want the english ones, NOT the English CC ones. The English CC ones are the english dubs words. The other ones are better, closer to the original.
Cory Silver
2021-11-03 17:15:34 +0000 UTCThe dub is hilarious so no judgement here.
WackySwacky
2021-11-03 17:09:33 +0000 UTCAm I up for a third re-watch? I guess so! Although at this point I could probably watch your vid alone, without the show, and have it all in my head anyway.
Cory Silver
2021-11-03 17:08:02 +0000 UTCYesssss
Jerry Gonzalez
2021-11-03 17:03:34 +0000 UTCI'm sure I'll be judged very harshly for this, but I don't care. I watched with English dubs, not subtitles Because if I'm reading the subtitles then I'm missing the performances of the actors on the screen. And these actors are so good in their physical acting and facial micro expressions, it's a crime to have anything distract you from experiencing it. Yeah, the voice over work was hammy in places, and it took a bit to get used to. But once I was used to it, it became second nature. I did go back and watch a second time with subtitles. Some of the translations were better, some were worse, but I don't really feel like I missed out on the experience at all,
Aaron Chandler
2021-11-03 17:00:21 +0000 UTCThe dub is awful
Dooly
2021-11-03 16:53:12 +0000 UTCAs a couple of others have mentioned, definitely make sure you're watching this with the "English" subtitles selected instead of the "English [CC]" subtitles. I have actually watched the entire show with both sets of subtitles and the normal English ones, while not perfect, are substantially better.
Dante
2021-11-03 16:44:54 +0000 UTCI can respect some executive decision making. Though if you had put Squid Game in a poll with some other contemporary series it probably would have won anyway. I watched the version in Korean with English subtitles, curious if most others did the same or watched the English dubbed version. I felt like the acting comes through a lot better watching the actual actors speak the lines (even though I understand none of it) but know subtitles throw off a lot of people. Also "I feel like I've missed the boat" says the girl on the internet reacting to movies we all watched decades ago... lol :)
Steve J
2021-11-03 16:38:51 +0000 UTCOh no, that was what I feared. Hopefully this gets to her before future episodes are recorded.

2021-11-03 16:34:53 +0000 UTCHappy Wednesday nat your clue few posts ago gave it away so was expecting but now I'm kicking myself for binging it two weeks ago its going to be a chore going through it again but your reactions are so good I can't help myself 🙂 so on that note lets get this puppy started 💛
Ian
2021-11-03 16:31:58 +0000 UTCHer channel took off because longtime fans of Star Wars and LOTR enjoyed her reactions to them. It's why she and most "big" reactors pick classics and/or popular movies and shows: They have a built-in audience. Maybe it's just me, but I'd never watch a show for the first time with a reactor talking my ear off at the same time. Different strokes.
RE
2021-11-03 16:31:56 +0000 UTC+1 to that. Netflix should have removed the [CC] ones by now. Simple English ones are better.
Navjot Singh
2021-11-03 16:30:30 +0000 UTCHmm. Another show I've already watched. Squid Game is an understandable choice, but it would have been nice to know that this was coming for the new pay period. So, as a suggestion for future months, new shows should be started (or announced) before the beginning of the new month pay period so people don't get stuck paying for content they don't really want. I enjoy Nat's content, but I don't want to watch shows I have no interest in, or have already recently seen (I love Squid Game, but like many people I literally have just finished watching it).
WackySwacky
2021-11-03 16:25:19 +0000 UTCWowwwwwwww! :)
Byron
2021-11-03 16:23:59 +0000 UTCGlad you made that decision. Squid Game is a show that's made for reacting and the memes and jokes that have been made cos of the show are just amazing.
Joits
2021-11-03 16:20:27 +0000 UTCJust a quick heads up, You are not watching with the Korean subtitles, those are the closed captions for the English dub which are different. So some of the lines you’re commenting on, or repeating are not the same. This might cause some confusion.
djKENTO
2021-11-03 16:19:51 +0000 UTCOMG WHAT A surprise i simply love you STAY GOLDEN
Krystal
2021-11-03 16:10:35 +0000 UTCNatalie you have no idea how much you’ve made my day today 😂 I’m at work, I see a notification from Patreon and my day just went from good, to better. 😂 I can’t wait for you to get into this show! What an amazing surprise indeed! Keep it up!
Daniel Luna
2021-11-03 16:08:27 +0000 UTCGreat choice. I’m in the middle of watching it now.
Daniel Green
2021-11-03 16:05:42 +0000 UTCOMG!!!!!! Yes!!
Zack Wallace
2021-11-03 16:04:14 +0000 UTCOoooooh!
Michael Ford III
2021-11-03 16:04:12 +0000 UTCAwesome Nat. Keep the surprises coming. Haven't watched this show yet, so am super excited to watch it along with you and see what it's all about 💛 After Parasite, I knew to expect the unexpected, and I wasn't disappointed. You have to admire the Korean way of storytelling. Completely non-linear, and the way that the visuals and audio seem at odds with one another, somehow impacts all the more. I really enjoyed discovering this first episode with you today Nat. Thanks for your great reaction today 💛
Darryl Low
2021-11-03 16:03:53 +0000 UTCAh yeah really happy your doing this show - I loved it!
Adam McCabe
2021-11-03 16:03:07 +0000 UTCNice. I'm about halfway in but I'll gladly jump back and watch with you.
Joe Blankenship
2021-11-03 16:02:52 +0000 UTCOh neat, good call. Executive decision warranted. Just check to be sure you've the right Subtitles. The English [CC] is using the Dub script which is badly translated. A few people I know have been caught out as they are sometimes defaulted to. Leads to much worse characterisations/sometimes nonsense lines being spoken.
Śéáń
2021-11-03 16:02:43 +0000 UTCSweet! I've been looking for an excuse to watch this one.
