Sometimes, when I'm watching this, I sit there and remember this storyline started with a couple of tiktoks about a cult and a guy who runs up to people in supermarkets to see if it will cause a chain reaction

I am actually crying. The fact that this is one man by himself is mind blowing. All of this is so well made and beautiful I don’t even know what to say about it.

Benjamin has a dream catcher in his bedroom. I can't tell if that has meaning other than irony. I love this so much.

I'm over here about to cry because of Oliver. Gosh, Oliver is SO underrated. Fav character.

Man, I love this series. "Life is too big to live like only the things you care about matter". This really struck me... Oliver is pretty good with words and I'm so attached to the "cast" now

These people have the ability to make their reality whatever they want They are aware that it's a dream and they can make it the one that they want But they're scared to change anything and they're scared to wake up because they've been in the reality where they have the capacity to hurt the people they love in ways that they would probably kill someone else for The hyperawareness of their capability to do that eats away at them and takes away any form of escapism Their brains can't block out the memory with the barrier of a dreamscape because they're hopping between them The curse of knowing everything is knowing you can't prevent anything Knowing you can, will, and have hurt someone is worse than believing you can control yourself and being wrong Because on one hand "That's not me I would never" and then you do and it's a mistake and you weren't in your right mind but on the other hand "that could be me. It's inevitable. I love you so much and yet one day I will treat you like I never loved you at all" Nicholas Podany you have truly outdone yourself

God, I can't wait for the next episode, but also I'm so sad that it's ending. My heart :'(

Benjamin’s little “*oliver?*” at 4:53 got to me. It’s such a simple little thing but with the scene laid out around him it pulled some strings in my brain and in my heart Edit: I made this comment before finishing the part. Nicholas I wanted to let you know this work of yours is incredible. I only just found this series and it’s had an incredible impact. Recently I’ve been going through some rough times and some points in this really hit home. I respect that as a creator myself, that level of skill to be able to touch people’s hearts with the content you make. This series is incredible and I’m so glad you’ve made it and it’s prequels. I can’t wait (but am also sad) to see it ending. If by chance make a compilation of your favorite scores or scenes from this project? If it hasn’t been done already. And hey to you, Nicholas, or anyone else reading this: *Why did the turtle cross the road?*

' this isn't the chum bucket' -me trying to find the original "do you blame yourself" and accidentally watching a whole series

Sometimes it’s the craziest things that make me believe in life. This is one of those things.

I just binged the whole series. I love how you somehow made it so I just barely know what’s going on; not so confusing that I never have to stop because I’m too confused but just confusing enough that it gets that “woah, what’s going on?” part of me going.

this series makes me so unbelievably happy. I hope that benny truly understands where oli was coming from when he learns about the apple. will I cry? yes of course! am I prepared? yes, of course :)

Benjamin's and Oliver's breakdowns are so unique and beautiful that it's hard to remember they're played by the same person

Part of me doesn’t want this to end but the other part of me know it will be better complete and concluded

still can't get over that "everything's" by you. what a star ✨

Alright so I’m not gonna pretend I understand what’s going on here lmao, but I can’t help but wonder if this is all a form of dissociation? Like the “original dreamer” went through and experienced some really bad losses in their life (as shown with the characters; Benjamin losing his wife, Mrs. Hills losing her son, and Oliver losing his brother) and so it’s like a form of self projection onto all of these characters the creator made up in their head. Idk I’m still trying to figure out what the hell is going on lol, it was just a thought that crossed my mind but I could be waaayyy off haha

This series is just... *WOW.* Your acting, cinematography, music, and writing are so amazing and spectacular, and I'm always wanting more. I love the deep concepts, and I love how easy it is to forget how you're just one person playing so many well-developed characters. I just- WOW. You're my favorite creator.

Oh god, I just realized that if an owner of a dreamscape dies, everyone in their dream, and people in the dreams of those people, etc... disapear... All gone... Now I'm sad... ): I also realized that it is "'This was just a dream' plot" done well. Edit: I realized again another thing. Jasper always wanted to be an astronaut. He can in his dreamscape if he becomes a lucid!

I can’t even remember the last time I had such a big emotional response to any show or movie the storyline is so good snd this series is absolutely amazing

Ok but can someone check on that guy from the worksheet company?

I love this so much this has made my standards for entertainment way higher than they were before I saw these.

Quirky lovable comic relief but deeply messed up is my favorite type of character Oliver is so kind and now I'm crying, this is seriously incredible!!!! I watched every video from Jasper to now in one night and I have work tomorrow 😭😭

BRO PLEASE RELEASE MINUTE FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE THAT SONG IS ABSOLUTELY FIRE. Great story too

I very nearly cried at the last scene with Quinn and Oliver. It just kinda slapped but tbh this entire series slaps so like 👏👏👏 This really needs more attention

convinced he made this just to show off his really specific smooth pick up lines he made up

the combination of comedy and existential crisis in this series is perfection and the music is great too 👀 and the acting 👀👀👀

the bit when Oliver asked if Benjamin wanted the bed and benjamin said 'don't be an idiot' that hit hard. defo something i would do

Maybe I'm wrong, but seeing what looked like a broken mug fixed with gold made me think of Kintsugi and moving the tea bag broke my heart immediately

Wait a sec... Jasper went to Saint James Middle School, Isabelle and Benjamin met at Saint James Elementary School, then the image at 1:54 "named after historic find of 'deutero saint james'", James Jasperson. Its Japple all the way down oh my god theres so many tiny details in this I love it.

nooo i started crying along with benjamin in his bedroom and oliver being woken up 😭😭😭😭 i can’t stand how emotional this is

I know it's only been a few days since this came out, but I can't stop watching it. Especially whenever I'm feeling down and depressed and just....stressed with...everything that is going on in my life, I can just watch this and feel relieved, not just that there are characters who I can relate to and who I can understand and see myself in, but also because of the comfort that the characters bring, and, Oliver's speech at the end especially, I...I really needed that. Thank you, Nick, for everything you do. Your work is saving lives. Thank you. So much.
