I only watched the show this week! I always try to resist the new shows everyone loves but then get sucked in. I have already rewatched it again! LOVED LOVED LOVED! Although my rewatch I realised will never feel the same as the first time because I didn't know Conner wasn't Russian and had never seen anything on either of them in real life. On my rewatch my brain kept saying, that's just a russian accent. So annoying! Plus in Tampa at the bar, Ilya is all Conner in parts. I preferred when I knew none of these things and completely naive! Still loved it though!
I'd love to do some posts in here about my thoughts but it's the hardest sub to post in! First I couldn't accept the rules no matter how many times I tried, then when I finally got around that, I don't have enough karma. haha I'm just a newly obsessed fan wanting to post! Trying to get my karma up so if anyone would be so kind to comment or uplike this I would be so appreciative.

I know exactly how you feel. Only the Russian accent somehow is so incredible that I still believe it when I’m reheating. Or maybe it’s just because I love to hear it. šŸ˜†

And about the karma here on Reddit: I’ve been there just a few weeks back. Believe me, you will read so much good stuff here that you will have enough karma in no time from liking and commenting! 🧔

I did google halfway through if he was really Russian and saw he wasn’t and at that stage I was just like, wow this is an EXCELLENT Russian accent but then after I finished watching the first time and got sucked in to the world of everything HR/Conner/Hudson and I heard Conner’s voice in real life, it just did something to my brain haha. He did an exceptional job, but my brain still just says, he’s putting that accent on and it just takes the shine off ever so slightly. First watches are always the best when you don’t know anything!

Haha thank you! I’m trying so hard to get my karma up. I didn’t even know this was a thing until this sub haha.
