As always, thank you for this. i found this episode so unbearable that i could not force myself to watch it again with my mum, so the fact that you did this is... i respect you. from the first ep i was always more interested in the actual commentary than the jokes, though they do help lighten my mood. i think you have great points and know how to express them, and i agree pretty much with everything. this valjean is sucking my soul out of me.
Thank you so much, I’m glad that you enjoy them and that you appreciate the commentary. I try not to do a ton of discourse because the Les Mis fandom has always been complicated to be involved in for me...or maybe I just got into the online fandom portion of it at the wrong time. The environment at the time made me feel I wasn’t really qualified to showcase an opinion if I didn’t know a lot of things or was well-versed in all things Les Mis so I eventually stepped away from it, in a way. I feel like now the environment doesn’t seem as intense at back then, but I still feel there are a lot of things I’m not qualified enough to discuss. Still, some things just need to be stated and there’s no joke I could make to lighten up certain decisions, in my opinion. The part of Valjean and Cosette buying clothes really made me uncomfortable and I didn’t even know how to approach it but I felt not many people were talking about it, in comparison to the “wet dream” and I felt it was the worst part. Anyway, thanks so much for dropping a comment and I’m glad you like the summaries :)

I enjoyed the commentary and I agree with pretty much all your points, just kind of to a lesser degree. I'm still finding more to enjoy than not enjoy in this show, overall. The peephole scene with Eponine bothered me the most of all, honestly.
Thanks for the comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the summary. I guess we all have different opinions on it, I’m sure there’s a lot of people who like it which is why I can only be accountable for my own thoughts in my summaries, but I’m afraid I’m not liking it as much as I wish I would, especially episode 4 which I found difficult to watch. I don’t intend to rain on anyone’s parade, though, which is why I always say it’s my opinion and it should be taken as such.
