'Heartstopper' Season 1 Review

If you haven't heard the news... Heartstopper is getting renewed for season two, baby!

In honour of the announcement, I want to give my detailed review of the show~!

(This whole review is entirely my opinion and I am just providing constructive criticism.)

Title: Heartstopper

Director: Euros Lyn

Writer: Alice Oseman

Starring: Joe Locke, Kit Connor, William Gao, Yazmin Finney, Corinna Brown and Kizzy Edgell

Plot (according to Wikipedia): Teens Charlie and Nick discover their unlikely friendship might be something more as they navigate school and young love.

My rating: 9/10

My review:

Finally a teenage show that doesn't have literal 30-year-olds casting in it! I love the unconventional cast in Heartstopper a lot, I can tell Alice Oseman recruited the people that were most similar to the main characters both personality and look-wise. Joe Locke is the epitome of Charlie Spring and Kit Connor looks exactly like I pictured Nick Nelson (muah).

I thought the show would be exactly like the comic just on Netflix and that I wouldn't enjoy the show as much because I knew exactly what would happen--- but I was pleasantly surprised at the difference!

A major difference is that the comic didn't showcase what it was like inside Higgs and the friendship between Elle, Tara and Darcy. Also, there was never a sports day in the comic. AND THE GIF ABOVE WOULD HAVE NEVER EXISTED.

The comic was a bit more serious as compared to the show so I enjoyed the heart-fluttering moments very much!

On to the actual show, I think the way the actors, director, and writer portrayed Heartstopper on TV was on point. I felt all the stirring emotions felt by the characters and I actually cried several times (coming from someone that always begins a series thinking it will be unsatisfactory). Also, watching it for a second time last week, I was surprised to find myself feeling the same emotions I felt the other time.

I love how they elaborated on Nick realising he was bisexual! A very real narrative!

Also, an underrated character in this series definitely has to be Mrs Singh! The things she has said so far have been so touching.

However! There is one massive thing that might have put me off very slightly... which was the way Charlie had handled (spoilers) Nick punching Harry. I don't understand why his mind immediately jumped to breaking up with Nick just because he said that he didn't want to be friends with the rugby lads (haha British). Because, honestly, his friends were major jerks and there was nothing wrong with the things Nick said.

And this part in the comic was extremely different! Charlie, in the comic, didn't care about Nick getting into a fight. He actually praised him for it. (OMG, I know)

See the replies for a better explanation to this bit!

But I have to say, overall, I really enjoyed this show. Made me feel some feels I haven't feel-ed in a while. Props to the whole crew behind Heartstopper!

Heartstopper S2

I finished watching the second season of Heart Stopper in one night. There are some wonderful moments in the season, and I loved the first one, and the second season was a worthy follow up. When we began watching the season, my partner said, “They are going to break up. What else are they going to show?” That made me think. First, he was right in thinking that, because of added viewership, the…

[arthurcrodri]

ok i finished watching the second season of heartstopper (spoilers of comics and tv show ahead)

if u don't want spoilers but still wants my opinion for some reason: i absolutely love s2, go watch it if u haven't yet

i love how every single main character had time to be further developed and truly shine. tao and elle were amazing, tara and darcy had some of the most delicate and beautiful scenes of the show, nick and charlie were stunning as always and had amazing sequences (especially during the latter half of the season), ✨✨ ISAAC ✨✨ omg the whole sequence of him getting the ace book and the leaves flying around him made me smile for a good amount of time.

jack barton did an awesome job at making the character extremely unlikable. i'm interested in looking deeper into other stuff he's done, he seems extremely talented.

i love how nick wanted to be a supportive boyfriend in the end of the season after charlie supported him during all the events of s2, and how they didn't make nick say anything like "promise me you won't do this again" but rather he went for a "promise to tell me if things get bad again." it demonstrates how healthy their relationship is and how they truly are there for each other in any aspect. this is, by far, my favorite scene of the season.

charlie confronting ben (as he should). ok listen, i really despise ben's character. if he could get no screentime in season two, that would be awesome. BUT as much as i love the way he left the show, the scene of him standing in front of the rainbow and turning away hit me like a truck at 100 mph running over me and then going back on reverse. there's so much i could talk about it, but i will save it for a different post (if i feel like it). it might be one of my favorites because of all the details in it.

now, i must say i am afraid of season 3. i don't know if heartstopper might be renewed for an extra season, but if it's not, i don't know how all the content from volumes 5-6 will fit into it. i know alice & all of the production team behind the show will do a stunning work in making the (final?) season shine, however i am scared of what might be cut in order due to the 8 30-minute episodes format. still, i'm relieved that charlie's arc was not sacrificed, and i hope it gets the depth, relevance and care it needs.

in short: i love s1, but s2 took it to the next level for me. i'm scared, but i can't wait for s3.

Review and Spoiler - #21

Heartstopper Vol. 2 by Alice Oseman

Returning to the emotional and cute world created by Alice Oseman, the second graphic novel in the series is a gentle tale of discovering and understanding feelings.

Within this sequel, we see Charlie and Nick come out, grow closer, and gain a supportive friend group. While Vol. 1 dealt more with Charlie’s anxiety over his feelings for Nick and concerns about getting his heart broken; this version deals with Nick coming to terms with his feelings and coming out to those close to him.

[unpopularly-opinionated]

Okay so I just finished that Heartstopper show everyone was raving about awhile back and...like on a “omg this is cute and gay, I love it” scale, it’s a 9/10, but on a “this show is put together well and has a satisfying message and conclusion” it’s maybe a 7/10.

It bugged the hell out of me that Nick seemingly dropped any and all sense of being an actual person at the very end of the show, and instead just became a prop to make sure they ended the series with Charlie happy instead of borderline-suicidal. Like it sucks because they actually made Nick a good character who’s POV I liked following, but they seriously dropped the ball in the last episode.

Spoilers below:

I’m glad I finished the show before posting because I almost wrote a post about how the show kind of grossly handled Nick’s friends. Even so, they didn’t do great but it was fine. Never mind the fact that his friends are assholes, it just felt really off how easily he was dumping friends left and right, all for the sake of some boy he just met. Again, they’re assholes and he’s right to dump them, but he does it so easily that I’m like what the fuck, aren’t these your friends of like several years?? Anyways, they sort of addressed that in the end, so whatever I guess it’s fine.

But two things that bugged the hell out of me:

1. Tao’s kind of a piece of shit who sort of weaponized “love” against Charlie, and he completely gets away with it too. Charlie had a legitimate reason to not tell him about Nick, that being the fact that Nick wasn’t out yet. Sure, after telling everyone else you could argue that he should’ve told Tao too, but I still think it’s worth pointing out that there was a legitimate excuse not to tell him that was just ignored.

2. The de-characterizing of Nick in the end was insane. I mean I just went off on how they handled his friendships and how he so easily abandoned them, but then the show made a point to actually address that when Charlie outright tells him that he doesn’t expect Nick to drop all his friends, even if they are assholes, but then Nick goes and drops the rugby tournament at the very end just to make Charlie feel better??? Is Nick not allowed to be in the closet? Is he not allowed to have friends?? Is he not allowed to have personal interests and hobbies outside of Charlie??? Like what the fuck, they just completely erase his entire character just to make Charlie feel better. It’s so fucked.

Anyways, cute show I guess. Can’t wait for season two (unironically).

I knew I'd binge #HearstopperS2 but didn't expect to watch it twice in a row when it came out and I'm happy to do it again for pride month.

TV Show Review: Heartstopper Season 2

~ Warning! Minor Spoilers! TV Show Review: “Heartstopper” Season 2 (Netflix 2023) ~ REVIEW If you’re interested, here is my review for season one of Heartstopper. I loved season one of Heartstopper so much that I kept recommending it to the people around me so that I could have more people in my real life to discuss it with. I was looking forward to season two, but honestly, I think season one…

Just finished the second season and oh boy do I wish it was longer. Eight episodes are not enough!

However, despite all of the sweetness and the drama entails in this season, I think I still prefer season 1. The first season gave me a warm fuzzy feeling that the second can't even replicate.

Though I can't say that I completely dislike this season! I especially like how they deal with Nick's bisexuality because I really can relate to his experience.

I also love Tao and Elle's progress in this season! Gosh, they are just too sweet.

I wanna hug both Tara & Darcy so bad. The two need a break and nice things. I hope they get nice things in the third season.

And Isaac! The precious. I hope he figures himself out and settles more into his skin in the next season.

I didn't expect to like Imogen more in this season, but I did. Her friendship with Nick is so sweet. She also deserves nice things! She should have some of those in the third season or I'mma riot.

The conflicts are getting thicker in this season and most of it isn't really resolved yet, so I'm really looking forward to the next season for closure.

OMG, the LOLs....Next time watch the whole show dudes. You're funny when you're drunk.
