I've watched quite a few "Teens react" videos and it took me a little while to notice something, Teens React doesn't differ from Kids React in much of a way, yes, the videos they show are interesting sometimes (hence the 3/10 and not a 1/10) however a lot of the time the teens don't differ from the reaction of kids, as they follow childish ideas, the work on the behalf of the fine bros is good, yet the choice in teens feel lazy, as they all follow the same sort of idea and it's highly predictable and just boring after the first few times as the teens they show don't work well with the material to make an interesting reaction. The cast kill it by not making it interesting enough to even last more than a few videos without boredom. Teens React ends up becoming just another reaction series which doesn't differ from the rest of the pretentious "teen youtubers". Don't let the presentation fool you, without that it's got nothing but wannabe or boring teens. The cast and the fall of the whole show, and when the show it made up entirely on the cast looking at things... it crumbles into something made for a much younger audience.

After having already watched a few episodes of Kids React I soon found out that FBE had additional panels of reactors such as elders and in this case teens. While I do not enjoy Teens React quite as much as Kids and Elders, I still found it an interesting and engaging series on the whole.
Some of my favourite Teens React videos are Flappy Bird (which the elders also reacted to), Twenty One Pilots, Harlem Shake (also reacted to by the kids), Panic! At The Disco, Fuller House, 90s Internet, an early Nintendo game console and The Cup Song (this one surprised me because like some of the teens, I thought that Anna Kendrick's performance of it in Pitch Perfect was the original until I saw the original video). One thing I like about this series is that the teens get to react to videos with more serious topics that would otherwise be unsuitable for the Kids React panel such as Amanda Todd, the Dumb Ways to Die and Stoner Sloth PIFs/PSAs from Australia, old cigarette commercials (including one that was also featured on Elders React to I Love Lucy) and drink driving.
The production values are as good as those on Kids React and Elders React while I like the catchy theme music and the colourful opening titles. Like my initial surprise of young teens aged 13 and 14 being featured on Kids React, I was surprised to see young adults aged 18 and 19 on this series since I thought the age group on this series would be 13 - 17 but I found out that 14 - 19 is a more diverse age range. I also like the presence of teens who were previously on Kids React such as Everhet and Lia while I find Alix really cool (you can now find her on Adults React) and I also like the guest appearances from Maisie Williams on some episodes despite not being a fan of Game of Thrones.
In conclusion while I don't enjoy this quite as much as Kids React and Elders React, this is still an engaging series where the teens get to react to similar topics to the kids and the elders in addition to more serious ones. 8/10. -
Irishchatter8 September 2016I have to say, Teens React can be pretty good because not only they react to video games but they make them do different types of challenges as well like for example, recently they did the fire noodle challenge. Omg, it was like so funny but you would feel sorry for the teens with seeing their faces turning red and eyes swelling like hell haha! Thank God I don't have to do that type of challenge but seeing these teens doing these type of challenges, make it very interesting to watch! I bet they won't ever touch a noodle after that challenge haha!
This show does bring back memories when I was a teen like being in secondary school and getting ready for college to meet the big bad world! I think the teen cast chosen for this show are really cool. I have to say, Ethan, Will, Tori and Mikaela are the best teens involved on this series because, they really fit the show and you would honestly wish you were a teen again. No matter how hard it was, you wanna be back in that time again haha!
It's a really good web series by the Fine Bros and I have to give this a show 8/10 because they do pick great things for the teens to react on!
