I heard the reason why Tao's hair is so awful is to show Tao's rebellion against the above chin hair length rule. he's actually standing in solidarity with Elle even after she's gone, and it's kinda adorable. but you're right, the hairs gotta go 😭😭😭
seeing him without the hair was like a drastic change like damn hair is everything i guess 💀 but i love him must protect
Apparently the author said it was just to make him look nerdy. Also, it's not really below chin length so doesn't really add up. But I like the theory anyway even though it looks atrocious
@@nessie4215 oh that's interesting I hadn't heard that! I just saw the theory in a comment of a video where Will is getting his hair curled. it is about chin length when straight but it's still worth mentioning!!
It's a headcanon, but it's a super cute take. But, as stated before, they had to do something to make William Gao less attractive somehow, bc that boy is handsome! No one would believe he's an outcast otherwise lmao
@@heyitsmira17 very true!!
This show is just euphoric just so cute and soft that you can't really hate it
EXACTLY! I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HEARTSTOPPER SLANDER
@@postitnote4156 there is slander?
@@postitnote4156 ?
@@astaneidenisa yea people think that Charlie (Joe Locke) doesn’t fit the role and that he’s “ugly” and not as attractive as Nick (Kit Connor)
@@stepphyy HE IS LITERALLY so cute and handsome at the same time
i adore the fact that charlie and nick canonically live the rest of their lives together
Yup. That's my favorite part as well!!! 🥰
IM SOBBING AAAAHHH
What wait so is it confirmed in the book???
@@maniapolitaki7985 yes! alice has made multiple art of them all grown up and together :)
@@miy4li yup. It's honestly adorable!! Nick grows a beard. Which Charlie very much likes, from what Alice has told us. He is a fan of bearded Nick. 😳🤣🥰
i think it’s very important how apparent they made that charlie and nick’s relationship is not the same as charlie and ben’s relationship. because although they were both kept secretive, one was about love and trust while the other was about manipulation thus toxicity to the point where a person feels trapped creating an insecurity that was not charlie’s problem to begin with.
exactlyyyy. Plus nick was actually TRYING to grow and improve. He knew how charlie felt about the "secret" situation and was apologetic whereas Ben saw himself as the victim and lashed out at charlie instead
right, the only instances where he's SLIGHTLY similar to ben is when he hesitated to help charlie when he got hurt during the rugby game and when he hesitated to cut off his friends (tho that one is explainable)
@@danidkg4071 yeah that’s true, but like compared to sexual assault he doesn’t come close yk, and him not helping him and not leaving his friends i think it also shows that he’s a teenage boy, like that he’s human and not 100% perfect bc that’s unrealistic, but that’s just how i see it
100% The biggest difference is that Nick doesn't really treat Charlie any differently in public versus in private. The only difference is whether they kiss in front of people or not. Nick is still loving, kind, and clearly adorning Charlie even around all his friends. Meanwhile, Ben refused to even hang out with Charlie at his house.
It's so important bc it's easy to demonize someone for being in the closet which is wrong. Especially nowadays with social media ppl feel extremely entitled to know about sexuality which is really bad for someone who isn't ready to come out. Too many ppl think it's okay to ask someone about their sexuality when it's obvious they don't want to talk about it. Which then either forces someone to come out when they don't want to or lie about it which is just horrible. Because too many ppl think that lying about that is wrong when sometimes it's the only way not to be outed
I just want more shows like this honestly... A bit tired of being sad all the time or being shocked at a few series lol
Same! It’s all just angst or sex and I’m so over it!
I recommend kdramas 🤌
@@klaudia6057 Truth
same honestly
psstt ... I'd recommend kdramas (Korean dramas), craving sweet and cute is what got me into them
I loved how the entire cast actually looked like teenagers, being so close to high school age. After watching dark teen dramas like "Euphoria", sometimes a wholesome, idealistic teen show is just what you need. 😍💗
I had just watched Elite when I started this and it was such a breath of fresh air
am i the only one confused as to how Joe Locke and Kit Connor (and basically everyone else) are supposed to be 14-15 slkfjdflkfs
but other than that I thought they looked spot on aaa
@@professionalfangirl7024 What do you mean? They literally look like 15 year olds
@@erikperhs_ they look 16-19 but its probably just me.
@@professionalfangirl7024 Yep it's just you. They look about 15 to me
I really loved how diverse the entire cast was, and that they ACTUALLY used the word "Bisexual", not just vaguely hinted at it. Charlie and Nick are too cute for words, and hopefully there will be more Male Bi representation in the media. 💗💜💙
I also love they actual use the word lesbian, as well... SO much media shys away from the word... but they just say it outright. Love it.
I love how Darcy curse word is homophobia
@@Djinn_Entonic it's a very gen z exclaimation in the gay community. To claim thing that is not homophobic...as being homophobic. It's hilarious.
Atypical is another really diverse show that discusses sexualities and says bisexual
@@Djinn_Entonic Darcy*
This show had me crying like a baby, it's so innocent and adorable, i wish i could've had more relationships like this growing up, it would've helped me understand myself without having so much internal conflict... I'm happy younger people have this show.
So yes, it really is that good.
It's wonderful that younger generations have access to content that can potentially contribute to a more positive and introspective journey of self-discovery. 🌈💖
I genuinely do not understand how people don’t like this show it’s so cozy
Someone disliked? Everyone that i've seen really Like it
I've seen people hate it because the main leads were white? Like poc representation matters (especially lgbt poc) but why be mad at the show 💀
i think a big reason is that it's on the cornier side. it's cute and def good for really young people (12-16) to help figure their sexualities out. but it's not the kind of show that people normally watch, there's not cussing, physical fighting, sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. not that there's anything wrong with that, i liked the wholesome aspect of the show, but it's not hard to believe that some people would find it boring
@@cyliamart1486 That's true, but people could really be surprising sometimes.
my friend (who never read the grafic novel) said that it did the grafic novel dirty
??
Trin: It's a CUTE show!
Everyone who reads the comic:
jokes aside, you should give the comic a shot, it touches on heavy subjects, is extremely relatable, sweet, funny, sad, the list is endless.
😂😂😂
Did u read the physical copy or was it on webtoon?
@@minfires7572 I own two books of the physical copy, bought them after reading the webtoon.
@@minfires7572 is there a difference between the two? Just wanna know cuz I wanna read it :)
I loved the comic books they were pretty euphoric, but at volume three and four and then reading solitaire I had to take a break. I have really bad boundary issues where I take other people’s burden on as my own, and my personality is very similar to Charlie’s. Reading about Charlie’s struggles that were kind of extreme versions of my own struggles kind of was bad for my mental health so I had to take a step back, but watching the show gave me a really cute reset and I just love Alice Oseman sm.
This show literally made my heart stop. The comic is so good (HIGHLY recommend reading it btw) and the show definitely does it justice, which makes sense bc the author was a big part of the process of making the show
The comic makes me cry so baad
The comics my goddddd
Thats why the show is called heartstopper 😉
i loved all the details from the comic that can be seen in the show. from the paper mache heads of their characters in the art room to their bedrooms being literal copies.
So much she even got to cameo in the train scene! I was so caught off guard when I saw her, lol.
Trin at the end praising the show but also sounding like the embodiment of depression itself was a mood.
while i def want more shows w college students experiencing innocent romance (esp gay shows) this feels a lot more accurate to what being a teenager is actually like. i hope other shows see the success of this one and realize not everyone wants gritty dark edgy shows starring 30 somethings as teenagers
Those gritty shows are really starting to make me feel inadequate, like I wasted my teen days (or at least hella uncomfortable lmao). I want a show more accurate to my experience, or at least shows the side that's not always the most dark side of teenagedom. This is an amazing start, and I hope for more shows like this (That DON'T get cancelled, NETFLIX.)
If u havent, you should watch our flag means death
this was cute but if done more will be overdone and unappealing
@@meganmcleod6152 I do not agree at all, but valid
@@meganmcleod6152 I get why you say this but fully disagree. The past two decades have been full if "edgy" teen media and it's exhausting. Teenagers may go thru some shit but the average teen experience is a lot more innocent and youthful than that. Normalize teenagers being what they are: kids. I honestly think the edgy trend in media has caused this phenomenon we've seen of teenagers being forced to mature way faster than theyre ready for. We need more innocence in teen media.
I'm fully 29 years old and this show healed some of this sadness I didn't even know I'd carried around for over a decade, from how isolating growing up queer could be. I'm really glad that young queer people have this show right now ❤️
I wish I had had this show when I was younger
Wow. my favourite comment!
20:48 Um…it’s very different. Charlie never had a problem with Ben being closeted, and he even said as much. Being closeted is totally valid. Charlie had a problem with Ben using him, pretending not to know him, cheating on his gf with him, and attempting to assault him. Nick never did any of that. Kinda wild that you can’t see the difference😂
Girl fr this is the second person I've seen say that there's no difference. I...am very confused.
@@ZeroOhClock it's really triggering how people haven't noticed that like did they not see how he was treated-
Exactly
Charlie of all people gets what it's like to want to come out on your own terms because he was literally outed and bullied severely because of it
It's not like he doesn't get it. It's the intentions behind being with him while closeted that makes the difference
literally. it's sort of sad how some lgbtq+ people can't see this??
@@AcesStuffs well the way that LGBTQ+ people are treated especially when no one suspects that you're not straight or cis there is a natural fear of that change
It is not a negative thing because your entire world shifts possibly for the worst and you never know what outcome would happen specifically for you if you come out each time to every person that matters or whoever finds out especially if you're outedbefore you're ready.
That's why I sympathise with Ben on that level alone because it has nothing to actually do with Charlie. It's their fear of the world reacting to who they truly are which is the reality for so many people in the community.
It's whether you choose to gradually grow and take your time to prepare mentally for certain reactions when you reveal that about yourself, or take advantage of other people in the community in private to scratch the itch but not actually treat them as human both privately and worse publicly
I had a hard cry when Nick did the Google search. Being bi can take you by surprise and the fear is very real. They did a great job with that.
Why would you cry about it? It’s kind of silly
@@Lost_In_Peace Cause it's relatable. I was laugh- crying throughout a lot of this show.
@@Lost_In_Peace Well by seeing the scene where Nick was figuring stuff out. He was reading articles of the hatecrime against the LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY, the suicide rating, the amount of people got kicked out of their family after they came out or got found out etc.
Why he cried?
First off: He realized how horrible has Charlie been through the bullying
Second off: He feels sad that the LGBTQ+ Community is experiencing these.
Lastly: Because now the fact that he thinks that he might not be straight and might be part of the community, he realizes that being part of the community is really hard, and to think that he might not be straight makes him sad because there's a possibility that his family, his love ones, his close friends might be against it.
It's a scary feeling. When I find out I was Bi I didn't got scared or anything because I've never seen that bad of a bullying against being gay. It was mostly always used as a joke, some gay jokes are fine and some are just straight up offensive and hurtful. Plus I was new to the community at that time so all the gay jokes didn't really effect me as much. But as time slowly goes by it effected me because I started accepting myself and started to be proud. I watch some LGBTQ films, then someone will say something Homophobic and it'll hurt me.
And most of those Homophobic comments comes from my friends and family. To think that you're part of the community and people who you love are against it hurts and It's scary. Because how will they react when they find out or you come out to them? Good possibility: They will either accept you, support you and love you no matter what or they're not really gonna be happy about it but they'll try their best to adjust and accept you. Bad possiblity: They will shame you, they will not treat you the same way again, they will bully you, they will kick you out and you'll be homeless etc.
So many things could happen, considering that Nick found out in a very young age has a lot of pressure because he was just a kid, having those thoughts is scary, overwhelming, sad etc.
It's not only being Bi, just being part of the community itself is really tough and you'll just have to fight back and get use to it.
Nick crying also could mean "What did we did wrong? We didn't hurt anyone, we didn't do nothing. Why are they against us?"
@@Lost_In_Peace a lot of people who watched it cried
@@Lost_In_Peace don't tell people their feelings on coming to terms with very big things are silly. that's just rude.
i stopped watching teen shows cause it gets exhausting how unrealistic the situations/ ages of the cast is, but this show has really stood out !! i finished it last week and have already rewatched it and am rereading the comic now :) it’s so sweet and refreshing
I wonder if Trin felt it was boring in part because it doesn’t have all the ridiculous stuff of unrealistic shows like euphoria and riverdale that we’ve been asked to get used to
i think so, and it has some “realistic” drama but the point of the story isn’t for shock value like euphoria was, just a sweet slice of life story about two boys in love (and lots of representation!!)
where did you find the comic??
@@keisharay4308 hearstopper comic tumblr and tapas, i think. Also can get physical copies.
I totally feel you ! Teen shows can sometimes be a bit over-the-top and unrealistic, but this one is a game-changer, right ? It's like a breath of fresh air. The sweet and refreshing vibe is just what we need. Rewatching it and diving into the comic is the perfect plan ! 🌈💖
the “I’m not like…homophobic” scene is just so funny to me 😭😭😭 every time I watch it, I crack tf up
imnotlikehomophobic
I’m an ally🥰
Oh, that scene is an absolute gem ! 😂 Right ? The humor in those "I'm not like... homophobic" vibes is just priceless. 🤣🌟
this show just feels like it was made for queer people man. little things like the gay quiz or not being able to say lesbian (bc that would make it too real) or feeling like you have to stick with friends that make queerphobic remarks...all that may sound so silly to straight people but it made me feel less alone. I really love it and as someone who's struggled with disorderd eating, I hope they approach Charlie's ED storyline next season with the same amount of care.
pls don't label everyone as "q*eer", that label is a choice, just say LGBT+ people
Agreed… though some of us lesbians don’t like the word lesbian because it’s so long… like saying homosexual. Neither word falls easily from one’s lips. There are quite a few of us who prefer gay - one syllable, easy peasy.
@Ross With No Sauce I heard a slur as a joke (AC/DC) and that’s when I realised, but that was back in the early 70s when no one was talking about this and so I didn’t even know there were bisexuals. (Don’t identify with that now because my romantic feelings are for women while I have sexual feelings for both, and so I based the word I choose to describe my identity on my romantic inclinations.)
@@nomoretwitterhandles Why did you censor the word queer? Besides, while obviously people use it as their lable, "queer" is wildly used as an umbrella term for non-straight people
Yeah! When Nick picked up the computer I immediately said "are you doing a Am I gay quiz?" And when he did I felt so seen because I went through the same exact thing more or less at his age
trin talking about the upside down smile thing genuinely made me blush, insecurities about mine gone forever trin thinks it’s cute
I have a lopsided smile too and I’m insecure about it tho I love it on other ppl?? We can never win
No same here, I hate my smile but a lot of people say that they love it and it makes me so happy :)
I loved how sweet and innocent it was and I hate how anxious I was the entire time because we’re so used to trauma and traumatic endings in LGBTQ series but there wasn’t a ball that “dropped” it was just wholesome and I hope we get more of that
I completely feel you on that ! It was such a breath of fresh air, right ? The sweetness and innocence of the show were so heartwarming. And I totally get the anxiety part ; we've kind of been conditioned to expect traumatic twists in LGBTQ series. But the fact that this one stayed wholesome throughout was just...ah, a relief ! 🌈💕
lowkey thought trin was gonna hate on this show when I clicked on but I'm so freaking glad I was wrong bc heartstopper is the best show Netflix has put out in a while
I searched for a comment like this because I could not handle someone not liking this show but now I know it's safe to watch the video 😂
Between this and next season of Young Royals, I don't know which one is gonna be the best Netflix show this year
@@erikperhs_ unpopular opinion: comparing Heartsopper and Young Royals is dumb. I see people compare it everywhere all the time just cause its 2 gay boys in a school realm. The vibes of these two shows are 2 different worlds and for me Heartstopper is perfect, while young royals made me fall asleep during the first episode. Dont get me wrong, watching the whole thing I can say its good, but doesnt give me more than good
@@gaceofspades ok...? First of all: for you it's just good, but that's YOU lol
and second: it's completely fair to compare them because they're part of a very specific genre, which is "gay m/m romance". Heartstopper, Young Royals, Love Victor and Skam (season 3) are the only shows I can think of that are exclusively about a gay couple falling in love. If you're talking about a horror movie, you'll compare it to other horror movies. It's just how things works.
And for me, Heartstopper and Young Royals are equally perfect in different ways. Heartstopper is more aesthetically pleasing, but Young Royals actors are 10x better. Heartstopper is cuter, but Young Royals has higher stakes. Heartstopper is super important for the LGBTQ+ community, but it's still a very cliché story compared to Young Royals.
@@erikperhs_ with all due respect, i disagree. just bc a form of media can be categorised as ‘gay m/m’ doesn’t mean they can or should be grouped together.
as much as i disagree with it, killing stalking is often categorised as a ‘gay romance’ despite it being a psychological horror wherein the ‘romance’ is horrific abuse. would you group killing stalking in with heartstopper simply because they both have a gay couple?
i’ve seen people recommend killing stalking before to people bc they asked for gay recommendations. and because of that, i’ve seen people go in blind and be horrified to see that no, this isn’t a gay romance, this is a horror that includes incredibly heavy topics that require several trigger warnings.
‘gay’ isn’t exactly a genre. it’s something books can have in common but if you read and enjoyed something like heartstopper you won’t necessarily like other media of different genres like fantasy, sci fi, thriller, etc just because it’s gay.
personally, i would happily read a fantasy with a gay couple but wouldn’t read a horror, even if it did have lgbtq+ people included in it. bc i don’t like horror. simple.
gay isn’t a genre and can’t be compared to other genres like horror, which you used as an example.
Saying you were behind them when they kissed in the arcade reminded me of the time that I was in hot topic (when it was popular to go there) and I saw a gay couple. One of them was upset and calling himself ugly and the other guy said “you’re beautiful” and then they kissed. I literally said “Aw” because it was such a sweet moment and they looked at me and I said I was sorry and ran away. I don’t know why I remembered that but yea.
Ngl i would have died of akwardness. Not you saying aww tho 🤣
Omg😭
“If you don’t like this show then that means you are a cold, bitter bitch” you spilled
Nah people can have opinions! I’m not a huge fan of the show because it’s too wholesome for my taste and I tend to enjoy a lot of angst BUT THE WEBTOON APPARENTLY IS DIFFERENT SO ILL TRY IT
@@inkubator320 it's not different per say. It just touches on some dark topics, which we're all guessing will be prominent in the next seasons, as they've already hinted at some.
@@DeeFightingDreamer Oh?! I like slow burn shows. Its just fascinating to watch something light slowly turns dark.
No one went up to Charlie when he got hurt bc of the rules of rugby. When a player gets hurt EVERYONE freezes so medical ppl can get to the person quickly and assess their injuries. At least that's how it was explained to me by ppl who understand the rules of rugby better than I do. Lmao.
Aha! That explains the difference between the comic (when Charlie gets hurt in practice) and the adaptation (injured during the game) . Thank you for explaining this!
@@agranosclem yeah, the rules would probably not be followed strictly during a practice. But have to be during an actual game.
Also, two people are attending to Charlie. They are just blocked by Nick standing in the middle. When you see a close up of injured Charlie, you can see someone behind him attending to him. When he's walked off the field, a medical person holding a medical kit is seen, and Miss Singh is there as well. Two people walk off on either side of Charlie.
im obsessed with this show, as a person who didnt come to terms with my sexuality until after high school, nicks journey through the show resonated so strongly with me. and the way he acted reminded me of things i said to my exgirlfriend and other conversations i had. such a beautiful show, my favorite piece of queer media.
I'm legit obsessed with this show ! The way he navigated things reminded me so much of my own past convos. It's seriously the most beautiful piece of queer media ! 🌈💖
After near non-stop Heartstopper content, I have learned:
1. Some people hate Tao. I don't get it. I thought he fit in nicely.
2. "Is that Olivia Coleman?!?" said the exact same way by everyone including me when I watched this the first time.
3. There's STILL no season 2 announcement 😕
Apparently according to another commeny, S2 and 3 have been confirmed? Idk tho
Season 2 and 3 have been confirmed recently
Season 2 comes out this summer on August 3rd!
Trin always finds a way how to insert glee in her commentaries. She just like me fr

This show is the definition of bittersweet.
It makes me happy to see queer people getting good representation and being happy on screen but it also makes me really sad since i know that this will never be the reality for me :(
We could fall in love but you don’t even know I exist so 🤷🏾♂️
You never know tho…Nothing’s ever planned, whether you’re sure something will always happen or that something will never happen. Unless this is intuition, how can we truly know what will never and always happen? How about, wait and see what happens? Not too optimistic (positive), not too pessimistic (negative), just realistic (neutral).
you getting progressively sleepier and more drugged-up towards the end of the video is so funny to me
it's the deterioration for me xox
I’ve rewatched this show like five times I’m so excited for this
Likewise, I've watched it three so far, and will probably watch it many more times!
Me too! I keep restarting it, it’s such a feel-good show 🥰
i’ve watched it more than 18 times, and honestly i still love it lol
I’m on my 7th watch and it’s only been 3 days 😩
If you read the comics you’ll understand some of Charlie’s behaviors like the constant hair checking a bit better
Yeah, it shows his anxiety a bit more in the comics...also body checking can be a big part of anorexia...and Charlie has shown a tiny tiny amount of it but it could also just be him very much disliking how thin he is ( which he does hate it. It a big insecurity of his.) and so is very focused on his reflection in the mirror.
@@AnxietyRat I'd like to point out though that his
Spoiler
ED is not rooted in how skinny he is exactly, but rather his OCD, and it's mentioned MULTIPLE times. It's just important to distinguish it because there are a lot of assumptions about what having an ED means, and representation is important. At least, in the comic.
@@beatm6948 I never said it was. I said he was insecure about how skinny his anorexia made him become. Which was/is a barrier to them having sex. Which has been said in the comics. His anorexia (like many ppl with anorexia) isn't looks based but ALL about control. I literally said he DISLIKES being skinny in my comment.
@@AnxietyRat yeah, fair enough. But it is a misconception I've seen around before, so i was just trying to be clear
@@beatm6948 You're not incorrect. We are on the same page...was just confused as to why it seemed like you were correcting something... I didn't say. Like we are both correct and yet I got corrected unnecessarily bc we are saying the same thing.
It's all good. That is indeed a misconception lots of people have on the internet about eating disorders. That's it's all about apperance and vanity.
Ppl also have a bunch of misconceptions about OCD as well. But I'm greatful Alice is shining a light on Charlie's type of OCD...because most only think of the germaphobe subtype of OCD where they clean things around them and themselves, obsessively...when there are a few different types of the disorder. It's not just cleaning.
cant wait for season 2/3 to deal with more serious issues like Charlies mental health and ED and watch them grow as people. such an amazingly wholesome show.
Yeah, plus PARIS TRIP
@@beatm6948 oh shit i almost forgot that'll be next!! YESS
the only thing that makes Tao's hair bearable is the headcanon that he grew it out with Elle in solidarity and had to curl it up so he wouldn't get expelled for it being below his chin
Ah, the headcanon game is strong with this one ! That's such a creative take on Tao's hair, imagining it as a symbol of solidarity with Elle. The idea of curling it up to avoid school rules adds a quirky charm to the whole situation. 🌀💇♂
i think one of the best things about the writing is that there is little to no conflict involving miscommunication. the characters usually say what thry feel/mean before it becomes a whole thing.
Ok but I actually love Mud/Wtr and have a big bag of it in my cabinet lmao GET THAT PROMO

Yessss
I actually finished my iced mud/wtr when I clicked on this video😆
Wait we need you to review heartstopper too
BESTIE UR HERE?!
I took loaaads of gay tests when I was still figuring myself out and one of them as a result was literally: “Straight people don’t take gay tests” 💀
I was SOBBING when Darcy and Tara kissed in Episode 3 and when Nick and Charlie kissed. Just seeing queer relationships portrayed in a loving, safe and pure way made me feel so seen as a queer person. Some people say Heartstopper is a fantasy but honestly, queer people deserve to have romance shows that are all gooey and romantic. Not every show about queer people has to be about our suffering. Anyways, if Heartstopper doesn't get renewed for a Season 2 I will RIOT ✋
(Also Trin, as a British person I gotta say, the party was actually pretty unrealistic. Not enough alcohol involved for it to be a proper British teen sesh 🤣)
GAYS DESERVE ROM COMS
GOOD. ONES. OR CHEESY ONES.
@@beatm6948 YES
It got renewed for 2 more seasons
Oh my gosh, I felt that ! The Darcy and Tara kiss and then Nick and Charlie ? Literal tears. It's like the show plucked all the right heartstrings. I totally get what you're saying about seeing queer relationships portrayed in such a loving and pure way. It's like a warm hug for the soul, you know ? And preach ! Queer folks absolutely deserve those gooey and romantic shows ; not everything has to be about the struggle.
“I HATE YOU”
Proceeds to throw apple juice on him
Literally one of my favorite scenes 😅
That scene is pure gold ! 😂 It's like the perfect mix of drama and hilarity. 🍏🤣
trin saying that the show has good vibes while super monotone and out of it was giving when jules was eating rue out and she was like "its soooooo goooodddd...." im crying 😭
STOPP
Nooooooo😭💀
I'm glad we got this show. I'm tired of the over sexualization in LGBT media, as well as the sadness.
I would've loved to have a show like this when I was a kid, however knowing others will have it now brings me solace.
Completely agree with this. I've always found it so hard to find LGBT shows or movies that I enjoy, because they always somehow seem to be overly sexualized, or just dark and depressing. It's nice to have a wholesome show that is just pure joy and celebrates the small things. Also the cast is just perfect and they all play the characters so authentically. So glad this show was made.
I was SOBBING at the gay quiz scene but also laughing bc its so real and it was difficult but in hindsight its pretty funny like just the fact that i took a quiz should be telling to my 11/12 year old self😭
Also sobbing at the party scene with tara and darcy. It was so beautiful i cant
Oh, the gay quiz scene was a rollercoaster of emotions, huh ? The mix of sobbing and laughing is so relatable. It's wild how something like a quiz can hold so much significance in hindsight. And that party scene with Tara and Darcy ? Absolute feels fest. Beautifully heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. 🌈😢
I “accidentally” binged this entire show in one day and it was so good I was so invested in the story haha
Accidentally on purpose, right ? 😄 Binge-worthy shows have a way of pulling you in, and before you know it, you've conquered the entire season in a day. 🎉📺
And I just realized Charlie had a breakthrough when he said he believed Nick because the whole season Nick would complement him abs he never believed him
Even at the very end there was that doubt when he said "so dose this mean we're boyfriends?" Even after all they went through Charlie was still unsure.
What a beautiful realization ! That moment when Charlie finally believed Nick marked such a powerful breakthrough. It's like the culmination of all those compliments throughout the season, and that one instance held so much weight. 🌟💕
i wish the cast a very booked future
im pretty sure there’s gonna be more drama in the next season because since nick and charlie are finally together they focus on other things
Yeah, they are definitely going to delve into Charlies mental health disorders that have been hinted at... as his mental health, unfortunately, does decline in the next couple books. But Alice has also said it WILL still have light moments so it won't be a complete tonal shift. Which is good.
@@AnxietyRat OMG is season two already confirmed?
@@minfires7572 season 2 and 3 have been confirmed!
@@Kate-yn9ky yooooo sick
nick doing the are you gay test had me cry laughing bc i feel like everyone did that. it was like i was being called out
I found it kinda weird that there wasn’t more conflict about Elle (accidentally) telling Tao about Charlie and Nick. She didn’t mean to, but Nick was still closeted back then.
RIGHT
She doesn’t out him. Tao guesses and asks a direct question. He is her friend. Is she going to lie to Tao. This is on Charley for waiting so damn long to tell Tao. Isaac figured it out on his own too. He just got confirmation from Nick and Charley. Rewatch it and tell me how she could have done it differently. Charley frankly put her and Isaac in the terrible position of knowing but having to keep it from Tao.
Kinda ironic, since in the comics Tao accidentally causes Charlie to be outed.
@@jeffrule1648 Unintentional but Elle did out Nick. She could've simply said: Talk to Charlie
@@shannonmitchell167 Yes you are correct she could have said talk to Charlie. But, it is a difference without a distinction. It was a yes/no question. If she answered this way he would already know the answer before talking to Charlie.
As a 29 year-old bi woman only out to a few friends, this show has been so healing to me. it's healing my inner teen and makes me feel all giddy. also i LOVE the positive lgbtqia representation. it's so rare we see it in that positive light, without cheating, extreme trauma, death, etc. so refreshing!
I totally get you ! It's like this show has some magical healing powers, especially for that inner teen. Feeling all giddy and nostalgic is such a mood. And yes, can we talk about the positive LGBTQIA representation ? It's like a breath of fresh air, right ? No cheating or death - just genuine, positive vibes. 🌈💖
i absolutely love this show and i love that you have made a video watching it. since i myself am bisexual i have enjoyed this show very much and i laugh every time i see the clip where nick sheds a tear after doing the gay quiz💀 also, ive heard that the reason tao’s hair is that way is because he did it to spite the school’s board about the chin length hair for boys on elle’s behalf when she came out! i thought that was a cute thing to add to his character.
The warblers comment made me cackle, the way you connect things to glee is hilarious
Trin: “Nobody would fall asleep with their hands like this (palms up)”
Me: *always sleeps with both palms up when falling asleep in a sitting position like I’ve died* 😅😬😂
I'm your opposite I fall asleep hands clenched into fists
Y'all okay?👀
the taking "am i gay?" tests is 100% realistic 😭 i totally remember being around 14/15 and taking those test trying to figure out wtf i was feeling
The most relatable teenage struggle ! 😅 It's like a rite of passage, right ? Trying to decode those feelings at 14/15 is a whole mood. The fact that the show captures that awkward yet universal experience is just too real. 🤣🌈
It's not a drama show. It's a feel good Romcom. And we don't have enough of those in 🌈 flavors
Good point. It is quite like a rom com. We've just been fooled into thinking it has to be a drama because it's gay.
Bruh are ppl calling this a drama? Lmo
I liked the show and one great thing they did was have a black trans girl just have a feel good experience rather than her story be rooted in hardships and trauma. But there is a very large "but", there's a large overproduction of white mlm stories written by white women compared to any lgbtq+ form of media, yes it good in a way that people (white, cis gays) can see themselves on screen but what about everyone else. And when everyone makes media that represents them, it's deemed less important because the lgbtq+ community values white cis people more.
its such an optimistic take on gay romance.
1) we have the nerdy relatable gay (but give him a lil bit other skills and interests to not be tottally stereotypical)
2) we have the "straight"/bicurious, cute, caring, popular, athletic jock as the love interest that so happen to like him back.
3) also straight male supportive best friend.
4) don't forget a diverse friend group.
i would've rolled my eyes so bad if the show wasn't so stinkin cute and heartwarming.
tbh I don’t get why nick wanting to keep it a secret is a problem? he’s in the closet, ofc he wouldn’t wanna share his relationship with everyone.
also: i don't wanna spoil anything that happens in the comics but something that bothers me abt the show is the lack of emphasis on what happened to charlie. he got outed before he was ready to have everyone know about his sexuality and it ruined his life. bc of that, he was 100% fine with nick wanting to keep it a secret (in the comics) bc he understood that nick wasn't ready yet. he's understanding towards nick in the show as well and characters do point out that nick doesn't have to come out if he doesn't want to, but it kinda feels like the writers made nick wanting to keep it a secret a bit of a problem for charlie, when it really wasn't. (and yeah, ben also wanted to keep it a secret but he literally refused to look at charlie in public)
I mean, even in the comic it made Charlie anxious didn't it? It was dramatisized a bit, but it's not like Charlie was completely okay with it.
He was fine with it cause he wanted Nick to feel happy and safe, but from my memory, he always had a nagging feeling about it.
It kinda is a problem because charlie doesn’t WANT THAT. He doesn’t want to be forced back into the closet for the sake of someone else and I totally understand that. Charlie doesn’t want to feel like he is an embarrassment to Nick. But I also understand Nicks perspective . It’s honestly a complicated situation but it also goes to show that no relationship is really perfect no matter what the media tells you. Obviously Nick didn’t deserve to be outed tho :D
The series is so freaking realistic with so many realistic emotions it’s cozy as helll 😭
For real, right ? This series is just ridiculously realistic, and the emotions are on point. It's like the coziest thing ever ! Can't get enough of those genuine moments that make it feel like a real-life diary or something. 🌈😭
You towards the end when your meds started kicking in is a like a mood to infinity 😂
it’s the way i comeback to this reaction every time and the joke about hanna and troye cracks me up every single time
AND CONNOR FRANTA
I really love Nicks arc. I was weeping when he came out to his mom because it reminded so much of my own coming out to my mom. There was just so much here that had me crying, and yet feeling happy and content.
i read somewhere that Tao's hair is like that to support Elle and rebel against the school for her having long hair
That's a fan theory. Hasn't been confirmed by Alice... Alice said on tumblr they just needed to make the actor look more dorky. And making his hair dumb was one way to do that, I suppose. Tao in the comics does not have this hair style.
@@AnxietyRat if they didn't give him that damn haircut he would have obliterated all the other guys because he's too attractive
@@AnxietyRat THANK YOU! everyone keeps saying it’s “confirmed” and “canon” but it’s really not, just some cute head canon someone on tiktok made
i love love love this show. i cried so hard over it, especially when it came to tara and darcy. the fact that they stated so clearly and multiple times that they’re lesbian makes me so happy. i’ve grown up with my sexuality being treated like a dirty word and to see them use it multiple times and even discuss the terrifying situation of coming out as a lesbian is just so amazing i can’t believe it. seeing such good lesbian representation is so new and refreshing and i just love it so much ❦
I'm right there with you ! This show is an absolute gem. I had the waterworks going, especially with Tara and Darcy. The fact that they boldly declared their lesbian identities multiple times just hits differently. Growing up with your sexuality feeling like a dirty secret is tough, but seeing them own it and talk about the realness of coming out as lesbians ? It's beyond amazing. That representation is like a breath of fresh air, something so new and needed. Loving every bit of it! 🌈💖
I just love Nick and Charlie so much, the way Nick stands up for charlie is everything :) Please let there be more series
I was spiraling like usual, feeling lonely, and like I was never going to find love, but after watching Heartstopper, I found out how important representation is. Being that I live in a place with few LGBTQIA+, it was really hard to see myself finding happiness. This show was so amazing to have, and I’m so grateful for this show especially while I’m still young. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
😭 girl they are different how can you not see it
I was so excited when I saw you were reacting! I thought you’d love it based on some of your previous reactions :( it just felt so real. At that age it’s the small problems that feel huge. I genuinely felt every emotion and the serotonin hits were like a drug lol! I’m 25 and I feel like it gave me something I really needed. Something happy and pure and genuine!
“im ruining everything, im a ruiner”
same trin, same
Love how Tao’s hair defies gravity 😍😍
this is definitely my number one comfort show, i have rewatched it FOUR times already lmfao
Okay. So I think it needs to be said. HE'S NOT GAY. HE'S A BISEXUAL TRIN
if you liked this you should definitely watch Young Royals, I remember you saying you don't want to but it's so so good, the main couple is very similar to Nick and Charlie but it's also more dramatic and there's higher stakes so maybe it would be more interesting
they're literally not similar at all. the only similarity is its a queer couple
@@acailoves curly brown haired gay boy who's a bit of a loner at school meets blond supposedly straight guy who everyone seems to like. The two of them develop a friendship and bond during sports practice and then one night at a gathering where all their peers are they go off alone and kiss. then the blond boy proceeds to be confused and sends mixed signals but then eventually they start dating in secret because he's scared of everyone's reaction and the impact him coming out might have on his life and the series is basically them navigating their relationship while also dealing with everything around them (school, family, friends etc). maybe this isn't how you view the two shows but I immediately noticed these similarities and always mention them to people who have only seen one of the two because from what I've seen every person who liked one of the shows liked the other as well😊
@@thatfatginger i like both but generally they really aren't that similar 😭
@@acailoves the shows as a whole aren't similar but the dynamic between the two boys felt really similar to me, maybe it's just a matter of perspective 😌
As someone who’s been reading the comic for years, I think that as far as adaptations go, it’s pretty darn great
“troye sivan just ate connor franta up.”HELP💀💀
I saw a video essay pop up saying that heartstopper is painful to watch because it's unrealistic. Like, duh????? It's fiction??????
The running toupee bit had me ROLLING 😭
Watching the show then reading the comics all within a day span has now ruined my life. I need MORE so I can project into Charlie Ü
I LOVE THIS SHOW WITH ALL MY HEART
the am i gay quiz part was so real
apparently tao hairs was like that because he was growing it out with elle which i found so fricking cute
this show really is everything, i binge watched and couldn't help but scream so many times because it was sooooo cuuuuute!!!!
This show really was a comfort show for me, my heart felt so light watching it 🥺 I cried a couple times obviously but just happiness tears lol
Being English all the British accent that you did made me laugh so much and now all I can think about is SeAgUlLs this made me laugh so much ty for making such a feel good video to go with this feel good programme
No cause I’ve never loved a show more than this one ! I’ve rewatched it 7 times 👏🏻🥺 I NEED a season 2 asap
I'm obsessed with the fact that literally everyone has something to say about Taos hair.
20:29 is my favorite part. “Im literally ruining the cutest parts” 😂😂
“showing my mom brokeback mountain and then coming out to her ” at 24:10 is so funny
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING US WITH THIS VIDEO!!! I LOVE THE SHOW SO MUCH!!
The fact that they already got confirmed for 2 more seasons makes me so happy. I literally can't contain it!
Tao's character is like the perfect embodiment of what it kinda of feels to be scared of change and him not wanting nick to get too close to charlie out of fear that charlie will leave him for nick and after re watching the series a couple times and reading the webtoon version of this i feel like you can reason and relate to tao a bit more in some cases more then others hell i know i mostly relate to tao bc that is kind of the person i am.
Also we can't forget thet charlie is 14 and turns 15, Nick is 15 and i can't remeber everyone else's ages but they have to be either 14 or 15 so i would think that the characters actions are more emotional and awkward bc they are so young and as a 14 year old myself i feel like i can kinda sorta not really give a small view in what could be going on in the characters heads.
28:57 + to "leave this poor boy alone" could not agree more...!
I love this show an unhealthy amount and I’m so exited to see you watch it!
Ty for feeding us today trin, ilysm
Me: waiting most of the video for Trin to ROAST nick going into the ocean with shoes on
Trin: doesn’t even notice it
"I like it when they speak🥰" so real, we love the brits🇬🇧
“Real ally’s leave lesbians alone” YOU’RE TOO FUNNY LMAOOOO
A lot of people presume people playing aggressive sports(like rugby and basketball) are all straight, so that's why I think people in their high school deem Nick straight in the first place.
Oh, totally get that ! There's this stereotype around aggressive sports that assumes everyone playing them must be straight, right ? It's like this automatic assumption. Stereotypes can be pretty limiting. 🏉🌈
Heartstopper provides me with all the euphoria I need in my life. The show does take a few liberties outside of the comic’s plot, but it’s only one season so far, and TV shows always change certain aspects to make it “more for TV.” Plus they changed/added characters to make it a more complex watch. The comic is really all Nick and Charlie n friends, and the show shines more of the spotlight on side characters, which I thought was a great change! Ugh I could just talk about this show and the comic forever. And what perfect timing for the show to drop so close to Pride month! Alice Oseman deserves all her flowers for creating this beautiful story ♥️
As a HUGE fan of the heartstopper comic and Netflix show and a HUGE fan of Trin, this is like a dream come true omg 😭😭
"for someone wearing a toupe, your acting very very bold" OMFG that killed me JBVDJSBV
