Bryanna Johnson

i don’t think you guys understand how happy i am to see this!!!! what a way to ring in the new year🥰🥰love you guys🫶🏽🫶🏽

Crystal Pritchard

The speed with which I clicked on this video!! I was watching your welcome to Derry episode 1 reaction, trying to watch something other than Heated Rivalry after more than a week, but I’ll be pulled back in!!

Jane

So excited to watch!!!

Marie Kaňovská

Oh wow, here we go, this is unexpected gift at the end of the year 😍. Is it embarrassing how quick I clicked on it.

Emmi

Not this being posted literally the SECOND I get out of my bubble bath ... I had to put a random video on my laptop like a PEASANT!

Nyssa Rawther 🍉🔻

I guess my first time watching this show will be with you guys! Happy 2026, guys!

YESSSS

Katherine Strohm

I would do anything to have Ilya call me boring 😂

Victoria Davis

Omg my little Canadian heart is so happy

Jose Nate

I was just chewing on some peanuts, but spit them out when rizzo said he hates hearing heavy breathing in his mouth while watching a sex scene. I'm dead 😂

Kait_reon

I gotta say, as much as I loved this series, I'm with Rizzo in wishing it had more hockey in it. 🤣

Brieanne

Also, FYI, they start out in the show as 17 years old.

K

Hockey is probably the whitest of the major North American sports. Think you missed the line right after they get drafted where the 60something dude running the Metros told Shane and his mom they were “thrilled that Shane is Asian” which felt painfully realistic 🤦‍♀️

Kait_reon

Also I'm really looking forward to Rizzo's commentary on how this show is filmed. It has so many cool setups for shots and music moments!

K

Gay marriage has been legal in Canada since 2005. That being said, even in 2025 there is not a single out NHL player. (There is one, Luke Prokop, who plays in the league below the NHL.)

Lorena Gutierrez

Oh my goddd yessss!! Happy New Year popstars 🥰🥰🥰

Sarah.the.clumsy

I have not seen this show. Definitely didn't think I'd basically be watching porn with my internet frens today, lol.

skmj

Finally some good food!!!!

Kimberley

Omg finally so happy welcome to the party guys.

Julie

YESSS I am so excited for your reactions!!!

Dust djinn

Its funny watching Rizzo. He is a brilliant man with such a open mind and kind heart but its moments like this I can see the very religious homeschooling in him. He is uncomfortable 😐. Thought it was a straight boy thing but ive watched those hockey guys react to this and they are so hyped about the boys. We love you guys so much but Rizzo dont try to force a reaction if you feel like you cant handle it. Its no fun if we can tell you dont like it.

Mickey Ross

i was just thinking yesterday i wanted to see yall watch this 😭

Mickey Ross

its much more than porn btw, just watch closely and you’ll see, ep 5 was the second highest rated episode on imdb!

Mickey Ross

birthday gift to me (my birthday is tomorrow lol)

wehaveadarkside

sadly they had no budget and filmed almost if not all the hockey parts at once

Beth

I literally screamed when I got this notification. Lol I didn't think you guys would watch it.

wehaveadarkside

im glad rizzo has to sit through all this gay sex after benji sat down for 365 days lmao and at least this is ACTUALLY GOOD, thank you benji we love you

Maya

omggg this has made my new years, happy new year everyone!

wehaveadarkside

they had a very low budget all payed with canadian tax money, so all the hockey scenes on the ice were done in the same day i think thats why theres not a lot of them actually playing, they filmed the whole season in a month and it was all in location they didnt even have a set, hopefully theyll get a big budget now that hbo got involved

Crystal Pritchard

I don’t know if you guys will figure this out in any of the other videos but Shane is canonically on the spectrum, which explains why he can seem very reserved. Also Connor Storrie, who plays Ilya, is from Texas and learned Russian like a month before they started shooting the series. He has no Russian background either. Just learned the language and perfected the accent.

E

Actually was let down by this reaction. If you guys are uncomfortable with explicit content then don’t react to it because it definitely shows lol. Oh well. Have a great 2026 ahead 🙏🏽

samepaige

I honestly feel like it’s more about being uncomfortable watching such intimate scenes next to Benji, not the actual material. Personally I watched this show with my partner fine but I think watching it with a friend would have been a bit awkward.

Dust djinn

Maybe, its not a criticism of him. He is doing the best he can.

Paul Vergouwe

Relevant note: gay rights in Russia regressed quite a bit between 2009 and 2014.

Maria Stoycheva

and from what I heard from a Russian friend of mine, they haven't gotten better since :( as I understand it, while it is technically *not* illegal to be gay, the stigma is so big that hate crimes are likely and even imprisonment (on a random different charge) is possible.

wehaveadarkside

they saw 365 days, theyll be fine, its always awkward to watch more explicit sex next to your friends

Beth

E!! Sorry I should have warned you. I find it hilarious because Rizzo is so funny about sex. Not just gay sex but all sex. I knew he'd be 🙈 about it, but its just his upbringing. Lol you gotta forgive him, he's like a litte sweet cinnamon roll sometimes. 🤣 too pure for this world. HR can be good exposure therapy. 😝

E

Ok I’ll take your word for it cause I know you from other reactions lol. This is my first time viewing them and.. I don’t wanna come across too harsh😭😭😭 I just wasn’t a fan of this reaction. No big deal. More power to them 🙏🏽

BexFangirl

Love that you're doing this show

LoveBug

I’ve been waiting for you guys to react 💙

Kris

At first, the explicit scenes surprised me too. But thinking of shows like Bridgerton, Game of Thrones , House of the Dragon and True Blood; where straight sex is simulated, and rarely scrutinized, highlights the double standard in media. This show is incredibly important precisely because it provides a realistic portrayal of gay sex, normalizing queer relationships. The sexual intimacy is integral to the narrative, reflecting the characters' evolving relationship and emotions, proving the sex is not being used just for shock value, but instead it tells a story just as powerfully as the dialog. For example: The first scene masterfully portrays the palpable tension of Shane's first experience. It effectively conveys the intense excitement, awkwardness, fear, shame, and guilt Shane feels as he has not yet accepted his sexuality. The second scene showcases that despite his aggressive demeanor, Ilya is patient and understanding in regards to Shane's sexual inexperience. It emphasizes Ilya’s respect for boundaries and the importance he places on consent.

32:04 The way I hollered!! 🤣 Hockey is the side quest my guy.

De

LOVED the video.

Autifella

One thing I love about this show is that the author of the books confirmed that Shane’s character is undiagnosed autistic and I really appreciate the portrayal as an autistic queer man myself.

Liam Mcfarlane

"Rizzo being edged (by hockey) for 50 minutes gay" 😂

Rubi

i think is illegal to 'promote lgbt movement' and if you're gay they could use that againts you to imprison you as a participant of a terrorist movement

Paul Vergouwe

Correct. And also your family. Which is why some Russian players in North America in real life don't wear pride bands at pride matches. They get some shit for it but if my family could go to jail over it I wouldn't either.

Elizabeth Deprey

The way I died laughing when the hockey went on for half a second and cut to the interview 😂😂😂😂

GalaxyLucia

You two are too much! 😂😂😂Benji is so real for not caring about hockey being shown in this show because honestly SAME!!!!

New subscriber to your Patreon, and I wanted to say I love your reactions, you're doing amazing, guys! I come from Eastern Europe, and I wanted to provide some context. Seems like putin and his dictatorship were obsessively watching over USA legalizing lgbtq+ rights, and they were planning how to limit any rights of living for lgbtq+ people in Russia. For example -"Extremist" Designation: In November 2023, the Russian Supreme Court declared the "international LGBT public movement" an extremist organization and banned its activities across the country, despite no such formal entity existing. This ruling allows for the arbitrary prosecution of individuals, with participation in such "extremist" activities punishable by up to six years in prison, and organizing them by up to ten years. Displaying the rainbow flag or other related symbols has been classified as demonstrating "extremist" symbols, leading to administrative arrests and fines. -Bans on Gender-Affirming Care: In July 2023, a law was signed that banned all gender-affirming medical procedures, including surgeries and hormone therapy, and prohibited changing gender markers on official documents. It also prevents transgender individuals from adopting children. Not to mention lgbtq+ spaces get raided by the police regularly, people get arrested, get fictional charges just to be sent to prison. People get statuses of foreign agents and are forced to flee the country, or otherwise they will serve time in prison. Life is unbearable for lgbtq+ people. Not only do we face scrutiny by society, but we also face actual legal consequences for existing.

I joined to see your reactions but you often seem distracted with your other commentary and not really watching the show. It makes you miss subtle nuance or even key parts of scene. Is this how you normally watch or are you just not invested in the show yet?

Wildallie

FYI Shane is Autistic

Luna 🌙

Subscribed cause I NEEDED to watch the full uncut reaction hahaha. LOVE IT.

Ava Wolf

Love how this is exactly me and my bestie's experience, her more like Benji, me more like Rizzo, except both of us agreed we're so glad to see so little actual sport in a sports show. I, too, was distracted by Svetlana and had to rewind that scene lmao. Also, leave Shane and his socks alone! His toes get cold!

Sarah Speelman

Did you notice during the sex scene after the all star game, when Ilya tells Shane to get on his knees and Shane does, Ilya whisper “wow” to himself cause he’s surprised Shane actually did it

Kristin Crighton

They were 17 when they met. The US legalized same sex marriage June 26, 2015, which is my bday. Still the best bday gift ever. Canada legalized same sex marriage a full decade earlier in 2005.

Marisa Jo Miller-McDowell

This is one of the reasons Russian NHL players opt out of Pride night because they can have their passports pulled or get arrested

Brittany Mays

Did they talk over the part where this is Shane's first time? They seem to get how big a deal this is for either of them.

Puff 💖

"Are we gonna not see some actual hockey action, though?" "Yeah, I don't care" - Benji is all of us 🤣 absolutely loving these reactions and can't wait to see the whole season 💖
