When she started the series I would’ve never guessed we would’ve ever gotten to a part 6. But here we are.

[rogue]

With every new installment of this series I become more convinced that Mirror Julie is simply Julie From The Future.... and she's been stuck drinking in quarantine for years and years.

[sarawarlestedt]

I really want, and simultaneously don’t want, this series to continue.

[Parker]

Part 7 is gonna be crazy when she has to break the news of Russia invading Ukraine.

[DeannaFaye]

I started genuinely cry laughing at "I don't have mental health issues."

"You do now."

[erikohman]

I gotta say I love how these are not made every month or so. There really is one per "phase" of the pandemic, and I appreciate that. Feels like some kinda of artistic integrity or something.

"What's the deal with NFTs?"
"Still don't know, still don't care, Brittney's free!"
😭😂😂 100% me

[VianneyOuiBon]

Ah, January 2022 Julie, so innocent and positive...

[MirorRflction]

This series should be added to the Canadian Archives for future generations to learn about of slow descent into madness during the pandemic

[disemvowel]

Remember in 2020, when we were still counting the duration of the crisis in days, then weeks, then months? I've given up on all that now and am counting it in Julie's pandemic videos, because honestly it's the least depressing unit of time at this point.

[smug]

I sometimes overlook Julie's acting because of the comedy. But she actually made me tear up with the way she delivered the news about Betty White.
Bravo, Julie, bravo.

[MijmerMopper]

Having binged this series in may 2022, there where so many "oh yeah that was a thing" moments, the monoliths, the murderhornets, people making bread, and looking back I realise that I miss something about those days, the feeling of bewilderment and dread, the anxiety over what will happen next. The apathy really feels like I lost a big chunk of my humanity.

[stackenali]

Julie is the only part of me that doesn't want the pandemic to end.

[drew]

Never has a series more perfectly captured the exact tone of the time it was made. By 2022 we're all just depressed and unphased

[davidludwig]

The look on 2022 Julie's face after she brings up Betty White almost made me cry

[Leka]

January Julie: "We've seen these plot lines, come up with something original"
February Putin: "Hold my vodka"

[itsnotme]

This series has been almost like a warm blanket of "it's okay. We all feel like this." I now am diagnosed with anxiety, my grandfather died of covid, my wife left me, and i now live in a basement. Yeah, season 3 of the covid show is bad. Thank you for the laughs Julie. We need them!

[dyslexiahelpforallages]

"Well, you are depressed now." "I don't have mental health issues." "Now you do. It's fun!" - I felt that

[SashenkaKun]

And here I was hoping we wouldn’t make it to number six. See you for part twelve next year!

Episode 7:

"So, how's the pandemic going?"
"The what now?"
"The... Pandemic? COVID?"
"Oh... Yeah. Right. I guess that's a thing still."
"What do you mean? That's kind of a big deal to forget about."
"..."
"..."
"Your definition of a "big deal" is about to change...."
"Oh for the love of-- WHAT HAPPENED NOW?!?"
"Let's just say you need to postpone your trip to St Petersburg....indefinitely."
