Summary

The hate for Jeremiah on Amazon Prime Video’s number one show is real. It’s one thing to be “Team Conrad” or “Team Jeremiah” but it’s another thing altogether to be calling for, or wishing for physical harm to come to the actor. Amy and T.J. talk about what actor Gavin Casalegno has to say about all the hate for his character and how Amazon had to post a statement for their zero tolerance policy on bullying.

0:57.4

When people are invested in your show, they care about the outcome.

1:00.1

That's awesome.

1:01.4

But there is a point in which people care too much and people forget.

1:05.9

You know, this isn't a reality show.

1:07.9

These aren't actual people who are actually in a relationship triangle. This is a script. It was actually a series of three books. It's... Hits. Yes. The show. Hit. Correct. This should be fun.

it's frightening that people can't separate reality from fiction. Yeah, and I didn't realize when

the show came out several weeks ago when it launched this third season, the show Amazon in their
