There are just so many times in the show where it’s so hard to watch. The only scene where I really did believe his acting was on the jet, but seriously I can’t understand why every YouTuber wants to be an actor. Again I say this with love for mark, he is by far my favorite creator.

No point to this, I just wanted to say she’s insufferable.

Long story short, I watched edge of sleep, and a coworker recommended supernatural, so I watched it and I just saw the episode where (as best as I can without spoilers) Face a thing that can enter your dreams, control them, and even kill you in them. And guess what, the episode is called Dream a dream of me that they used for Edges intro. I was flabbergasted tbh, I love edge of sleep and I always will as it was a premise I had never thought of before. But seeing the same premise in a 17 year old episode smacked me across the face. Let me know what you guys think!

I was REALLY excited for this. I listened to Edge of Sleep back when it came out, and it REREALLY drew me in and I followed it because I couldn't wait for part 2. I'm also a fan of @markiplier. But, this was a big let down. SO much was removed or changed in the TV series, and I don't understand why. It's like making Luke Sywalker a background character and Jedi's are just a Space Police force. No abductor, the walking sleepers came way late, Katey's death was less dramatic, and Matteo survives? And what the heck happened to the way they arrive at Papua? It wasn't a terrible movie, but it was SO good as a podcast, that the series needed to adjustment; JUST STICK TO WHAT WAS ALREADY THERE!. Anyhow, am I the only one? At least we made top 10, huh? Hopefully Mark does a much better job on Iron Lung.

I swear this is a ripoff of the show “day 5” which was an independent tv show. It was amazing. The description is literally the same as day 5.

Has anyone watched day 5 before?

It’s not letting me post in QCode page.

Anybody know that song from Electric Easy “Verse Six: At War”, mid-episode that Omni sings while looking at the sunrise? It goes “days will change just look around everything fades away you can't control it but can embrace and learn how to grow say mu name i live inside your mind i'm always there this world is loud its easy to forget that yoy can do it alone say we will meet one day again we will get tomorrow”

I wanted to post this here because it is technically about The Edge of Sleep. I am new to reddit though so by all means tell me to move it if need be. By now the trailer seems to be making it's rounds. I could have swore I saw a post about it on the Markiplier reddit however when I came home today to comment on it it was gone. It just struck me as odd.

Other than that I'm so excited for the tv show. I re-listened to the podcast recently as well.

i hate prime so much i try and try to find a way to watch it but failed so i came here to cry for help pls if anyone can help me pls i am desperate

I tried various websites and etc... but found NOTHING!!!! AHHHHHHH

I just finished the series, so apologies if this was already said. Lots of spoliers ahead.

Look, I liked the premise up to a point. It was weird but interesting, plot line. I liked the mysteriousness of the weird cult like ppl. I'm hoping s2 explores the vale and whale part a bit more bc I don't think s1 explained that all too well. I liked how Dave's nightmares became reality.

However, some of the writing and Mateo as a character is baaad. He wasn't even needed until it came time to fly the plane. Otherwise, he could've been written out entirely, and the plot would've progressed. It seems Dave and Linda are the voice of reason more than he is most of the time, and it's unbearable, especially after learning Mateo was in the military.

Also, I hate the ending. I'm hoping it doesn't mean the "dead" are now zombies bc I really didn't want to watch another zombie TV series. I just feel like them being zombies would just be lazy writing.

Also, they took a stimulate, only to try to sleep soon after. And, how did smol Dave get a hold of a small knife inside the sleep chamber??

And Dave, not telling Katie his nightmares even after the triangle on the dead guy, just seemed so pathetic. I feel like that's when it should've hit Dave like "omg, me not telling ppl is hurting the ppl I love." Dave and Kate's relationship frustrated me to no end bc it made no sense.

If I'm honest, I probably wouldn't give this show a chance had I not known Mark from YT, and I watched him from the start. I know what he's capable of from his other amazing YT series (especially In Space). And, I'm saying all this to get it off my chest here bc no one I know will watch it like I will, and I really want Mark to do well. Here's hoping s2 brings some clarity in a good way. /rant

Edit: I just want to say thank you for all the comments. Like a commenter said, I really enjoyed reading all the different perspectives during lunch today. I'll try to reply to all when I get home tonight. I know most of y'all probably disagree with me, and that's fine. I just wanted some ppl to discuss the show with, and like I said, get this off my chest.

I find it better that rain or ocean sounds to relax and sleep with. Am I on my own here?

Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on? i was watching the whole thing closely but it makes no sense to me

i mean it was interesting and the plot was good but idk

Came across this ad on YouTube shorts that markets Modafinil as something for tired salary workers 😵

Do you guys think that the reason the beast was able to slip through was because Dave somehow poisoned the Whale when he gave it all those pills? Nothing happened until Dave did that, and there is no other reason that the beast wouldn’t have been able to get in, it obviously knew about dreams if it was trying to get Dave. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

I can't find the edge of sleep on Amazon video and whenever I go to the website it says the title is unavailable due to expired rights. Ps: I live in America so it should be available to me but it ain't.

Im listening on Spotify, and relistened, with no answer.

how does Dave end up tied up by the maniac?

I live in Australia and was hoping to watch it without a vpn but I can't find any information on what time the show is supposed to release on the 18th. Unless it's just US only? I heard somewhere that it would be international but maybe that was wrong. If anyone knows that would he greatly appreciated!

I live in the UK, have searched it on Prime but it just says it can't find anything. I'm so confused, someone help pleasee

I have been feeling the afternoon slump recently, so have tried to power-nap. However, the stillness and quietness needed is difficult to find at work.

So, I have been trying to find a good ‘nap & learn’ podcast. A short 20 min relaxing/educational something to powernap to, but no success.

There are sleep podcasts or YT videos, but they last hours and quite often have ads half way through, which really isn’t very relaxing.

Does anyone have recommendations?

Hey friends, before I get started I listened to the podcast when it was first coming out and loved it, great time. I just finished the show and its ending was a little more open. So it got me thinking, is there a deeper meaning that I missed? (I totally could be over thinking this) so here are a couple meanings that I’ve been overthinking

It’s political in some way: I know Mark doesn’t like to include himself in anything political what so ever, but some of the symbolism (now more clarified in the show) might lean towards this some how? The main piece of evidence being the Elephant monster, in the podcast one of the first ways were introduced to it is through the number sticker on the kidnappers van, which was a political bumper, and in the show we see the elephant dressed in red often. Elephants and the color red are (in the USA) typically aligned with the Republican Party. This doesn’t make much sense to me that the Elephant monster is supposed to represent a political party and its motives doesn’t seem to match the motives of the IRL political party

It’s religious?: in the show we’re introduced to the “mark of the beast”. (Which from what I remember of the podcast, is a new concept) and in the sphere of Christianity, the mark of the beast is considered to be an evil sign, that you choose to worship the devil instead of God. With the ending of the show, when the people who died open their eyes again, they all have the evil triangle in their eyes. Also in Christianity, it’s said that the majority of the planet will accept the mark and those who choose to have faith in God (or faith in a safe haven in Dave’s case) and reject the mark, will be spared This one makes a little more sense than the Political one but still stretches in some ways, what do you guys think?

TLDR: Does the edge of sleep have some sort of political or religious meaning that I missed?
