Heartstopper

This series is so good! I loved how the actors are actually teens and the plot is so realistic! No over drama at all, no negativity, just how it should be. The cast and characters are amazing. Just so well implementation - it's a charming feel-good series. Also I liked how Charlie and Nick are so understanding, they are just adorable! Must watch and keep your homophobia at bay.

A delightful series that goes down as easy as the milkshakes featured in one episode. These teenagers discovering their sexuality; how to navigate their friendships and school bullies has been made that much more engaging by the terrific acting of the entire cast. The male leads have a chemistry that makes their fumbling toward each other fun to watch.

Olivia Coleman is ubiquitous these days, and does a nice job playing Nick's mother.

So, get a milkshake, and spend a few hours enjoying this series.

Hi, gay here! To all of us, children from the 90s who went through hell in school this still seems like twilight zone or something but it is coming, finally teachers are paying attention, and that behaviour is not accepted, not ignored (aka accepted) anymore.

It was really lovely, not woke, not preachy, a really, very down to earth story about acceptance, coming to terms about what, and who you are, and the person you love.

I'm already waiting for season 2.

PS: Niiiiiiiiiiice that finally directors and such stopped portratying us basically doing drugs, sleeping with almost everyone, being half drags, overly feminine, etc. And all that other awful places gay people were portrayed for decades. More of this, please. A story of love, we truly need more of those. :)

I never read the graphic novel so I watched this blind. I only knew that this was LGBTQ themed.

If you know the word "Kilig" (a feeling of exhilaration or elation caused by an exciting or romantic experience.) aka butterflies in your stomach.. then that was my feelings all throughout the show. I love how sweet and cheesy this is and no explicitly detailed or not scenes. It's a teen version of hallmark movies but doused with a lot of sweetness and wholesomeness. This show is like a hug.

Sure it's predictable but there's nothing wrong with that. Sure we have the bully stereotypes scattered about but the emotions and awkwardness of love is accurate it overshadows it especially for teens experiencing first loves. I love the main characters they are too adorable. Great acting. I can feel the crush, the love, the awkwardness. The soundtrack is perfect.

Not rating it a 10 because Tao's haircut is a nightmare and some of the acting and line delivery from the side characters feel stiff and forced. The plot direction was fine there were some scenes that felt like it was just an insert like how it jumps if your read comics. They also have this weird tendency to focus all over the actor's faces which wasn't bad per say but sometimes it was done too long that it just felt cut off. I want to embrace the whole scene and not just their heads.

Overall it's easy to watch especially if you're looking for a light, sweet, and cheesy romance that will bring a smile to your face because it's adorable and wholesome. The portrayal of the LGBTQ community is also done well imo they added in the negatives that go along with it so it doesn't feel like they just inserted it just because but not to the point that it became the driving force of the story. Also even if you're not part of the LGBTQ community the scenes are easy to relate to especially for first love experiences. BIG PLUS as well for no unnecessary drama that is dragged out for long!!

Looking forward to the development of the other characters relationships for next season. Highly recommended.

I am not a mother and I don't know if I'll ever be one but if any parents out there are reading this please support and love your children no matter what!! When a person is happy and loved does it really matter who they love?? And PLEASE teach your children that too. This era of hatred of anyone and anything different must end and who better to do it if not us? Hatred is not hereditary but unfortunately it can be passed on from generation to generation! And by the way, even if I don't like labeling myself I am going to make an exception this time and say that I am straight,only doing so not because I belong to LBGTQ community, I don't, but because I am a teacher. And love can be taught too.
