Tao isn't as brash in the novel so idk why they made that decision but it was definitely a bit grating. not as much as that haircut though, someone on the hair department had a vendetta. and I do want more of Elle but please dear god, no flashback scenes or anything like that. let her be trans in peace. That's what I read online. Maybe it's to give him room to grow? Now I want to see him grow as a character because he was such a prick in the first season. So hopefully he develops. (Hopefully part of that development is going to a barber because that hair was not it — though it fit my dislike for him in the first season.) Quote Isaac isn't in the graphic novel; I actually really like him just being in the background. feels like a realistic introverted character to me. I loved him in the bowling scene though, so a bit more of that wouldn't be bad. That's true. Maybe it's good to have a background character. I'd like more scenes with him like in the bowling scene. Quote also, the AUDACITY of them to use I Belong in Your Arms in that final scene... as if I wasn't an emotional wreck already. I'm literally listening to that song now and I'm still recovering. The soundtrack for this series was perfect. (Also, unrelated, but Love, Simon also had a pretty banging soundtrack.)

There's no Isaac in the graphic novel, he took Aled's spot, and I'm not mad about it, I'm more curious about Isaac Give him a love story and more screen time, he's so endearing
mellenthin Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Two episodes in and wtf I'm in love and I feel so emotional. The relatability is uncanny and I'm constantly getting chills. The acting is amazing. Making me wish I was back in high school.

Bloodflowers. Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I hope we get more positive and hopeful LGBT shows like this in the future. Enough of depression, we need hope and inspiration!
GentleDance Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Quote The KPIs (Key Performance indicators) are through the roof. The show got twice more engagement on Twitter on Sunday than Euphoria, the leads' social media accounts went from about 200k on Friday to over 1M in 4 days.

Lord Gaga Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Deserves to have the entire book series up to this point adapted
mellenthin Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I'm literally bawling my eyes out. Just finished the last episode. I actually can't stop crying and I don't know why. So many episodes and moments made me cry non-stop. I guess I really needed this show to realise that I'm so lonely and I really want to find love, which is something I've neglected for a long time. The actor of Nick is such an amazing actor. I usually don't cry this frantically, but his performances just made me feel so much. So believable and real. Also amazing music choices enhancing the feels throughout the show. Just wow.

Is it because Aled's story is a little bit too similar to Charlie? I haven't read the whole webcomic yet, but if anyone knows why he was replaced, please let me know. I am curious.
publikcitizen Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I realized I am similar in some ways to Charlie and Nick. Like Charlie, I tend to isolate myself and feel like my existence annoy other people. I am also kinda a hopeful romantic. And for Nick, I try to do the right things like he does and I am compassionate and caring person. I don't think I would be compared to a golden retriever though lol. I'm a hugger too, although I want someone like Nick to hug me haha. Did any of you guys find similarities between you and the characters?

Apparently they want to make a spinoff movie or miniseries with that character based on this Radio Silence book one day.
Miss Show Business Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 This show was so cute. I literally binged it in one night. And Nick Nelson

All I know of Aled is based on what I've read so far. Last thing I read about Aled, he was having a conversation together with Charlie when they were in Paris and mentioned there is someone he's been talking to.
