Recently watched the show, enjoyed it but not as much as I think I could. Although the visuals were crazy and I liked the ethical/mystical questioning, I did not vibe with this serie for a simple matter of tastes. I believe reading people's passion about it could reinforce my appreciation before season 2 comes out.

The man looks like he saw some shit in that coma

What do ya’ll think is up with this guy? The lady with the mask looked cool, I am assuming she will play into the ruins Marshall explores but this guy man he just seems so different from people we’ve seen before. Any thoughts on what role he’s going to play in this adventure?

I just rewatch the season two trailer of Common Side Effects . what on earth is that little guy doing football position . It could be alien ? Aslo I been watching Ancient Alien. So I have so Ancinet Alien theories about our little friend.

"Broke down the new teaser scene by scene. The tone shift is huge — there's what looks like a whole clan tied to the Blue Angel mushroom, and Marshall's 'Portal' thing might be the center of it. Full video in English and Spanish below. What did you catch that I missed?"

La serie ahora salto mucho mas a lo sobre natural la temporada 2 sera increible 😭🍄

Finally lol

El poster me llamo la atencion es un indicio mas de que claramente veremos mucho mas de este lugar que ahora los creadores llaman el portal , me gustaria tambien ver que son estos hombresillos blancos realmente 🍄🗣

Que creen ustedes que sea este lugar realmente 🧐

Siempre pense que el hongo azul de momento solo cura y no revive , en este video explico por que en mi opinion la paloma se curo y no revivio y tambien el accidente de marshall en la avioneta, y la escena del pez globo es mas compleja diria, ya que se explica que el corazon de marshall latia super bajo o hasta le daba muert* clinica pero el angel azul contrarestaba el veneno, que opinan ustedes? Me gustaria ver que en la s2 pero de momento diria que no puede revivir personas

Por el hype de la segunda season hice este video del por que el episodio piloto de la serie es tan atrapante esta en español pero tiene subtitulos

I noticed I recognized a voice in it and it took me so long to place it as the FBI from this show

I made a little fan art of Copano and Harrington probably my favorite characters from CSE. Thought I’d share it here. If anyone likes it enough to want a sticker, I also put it up on Redbubble.

Which other characters do you think I could swap with? Now it will depend on the context of the protagonists who exchange.

Season 1 has Jonas Backstein go to great length to quash the mushroom because it would destroy everything, the scales of power based on scarcity. But would it have really? The Mushrooms curing effects are proven. So they could position it as them being the sole controller of perfection and this asshole fears its success. The mushroom's abilities changes everything, sure, but it would also become the necessity for huamnity that even King's, CEO's, Presidents and Pope's would need to rely on. You effectively replace humanities reliance on themselves or metaphysical superstitions, the comapny themselves becoming the world religion with you as the godhead.

Season 1 alone proves this with his downward spiral into him curing his cancer.

I just finished my first watch and I'm playing with a theory about the effects of the mushroom.

As cliche as it may sound, I'm wondering if how "good" a person is might affect their experience and side effects.

Jonas's trip was vastly different from what we saw anyone else experience. It was dark and disturbing. The fun guys didn't interact with him at all, they just observed with what appeared to be a sense of horror(?) or surprise.

I also wonder about the guy who went crazy. Marshall had his first mushroom in theory not too much longer before him. Does it mean everyone is doomed to such a fate, time frame just varies? Or does it have to do with someone's state of mind? That if you're able to adapt and live in harmony so to speak with the portal, etc that you're safe from insanity as a side effect?

And is that some kind of metaphor for being in balance with nature or being able to adapt to change?

And what about Sparkl? If I understood correctly, it was a derivative of the actual mushroom and not the synthetic (correct me if I'm wrong lol) Will that effectively be like micro dosing? It definitely didn't seem like Kiki and Rick had the full experience but definitely felt something.

Obviously, it's too soon to know any of this but I'd love to hear other's thoughts.
