If you've been craving a layered, heartfelt, sweet romance, Heartstopper is definitely the show for you — and if it doesn't make you feel some degree of happiness, you're probably dead inside.
Oseman’s work is undeniably sharp and “aww”-inducing, and it might be a challenge not to watch all eight episodes in one sitting. Luckily, though, the four hours will be time well spent.
“Heartstopper” is a gem, and remains perhaps the most uplifting, refreshingly optimistic and utterly charming series currently running on TV or streaming platforms.
Holding back where other shows might lean into melodrama. It’s all the better for it, too. While there’s a space for sleaze and sensationalism on TV, Heartstopper is a reminder that, sometimes, life can be sweet.
Heartstopper’s sophomore season expands its scope while staying true to Season 1’s youthful spirit of first crushes, heartbreak, and the complicated transition into adulthood.
Affectionate, blunt, caring, didactic, edgeless, flamboyant: Heartstopper runs the alphabet of adjectives, but never quite makes it all the way to good.
Perfect. This is an example **** adaptation. The story is beautiful, the cast have so much chemestry, it's so simple, so soft, and still so good. You finish so quickly that you don't even realize the time passing by. Congratulations to Alice Oseman, with this, we can be sure that she's a terrific writer.
This show excels in its representations of LGBTQ+ teens, something not quite seen yet in mainstream media. The portrayal of the 2 main characters Nick and Charlie are definitely stand-out performances. The supporting cast, while occasionally under-utilised, also give convincing enough performances but this show is let down massively by its writing and dialogue, which could be seen as intentionally awkward and sweet but is flat-out unwatchable at times, and sounds nothing like British Teenagers. However the show is incredibly heart-warming and its representations were very refreshing and educational. This show has potential to become one of the current generation's best if it develops its main characters to the level of Nick and Charlie, fixes its awful dialogue, and by simply becoming more complex in a potential second season.
sorry not sorry but i didn't like the show. the plot was poorly written and the lgbtqia+ representation was not-well-done. idea is good and the comics are okay, but the show isn't it.
this series only has a high rating due to the political and social context of the moment. i see absolutely nothing great here, it's boring, bland, frankly there's not much to review. this series is not breaking bad, it's not a masterpiece, chatgpt could have written something 100 times better. people are afraid to even voice an opinion and criticize something if it carries a lgbt flag. they fear being burned at the stake and accused of being ****. frankly, this series will be forgotten in a couple of months. series like breaking bad, twin peaks, etc. will not. that's the difference between a cult work and a product designed by algorithms. in short, it's nothing special. 2/10
