London must be buzzing about this new season. It's just beautiful to have something LGBTQ+ related being mainstream. Thank you. I really hope this season is as big as the first! I'm enjoying it just as much and I'm loving seeing the 'side' characters get more screen time and watch their stories develop. It's beautiful.

I can only imagine what it's like to be 18 now experiencing this. But in a way it's beautiful that we have seen how much things have changed over the past 10 years or so. And I like that it's mostly about the romance and emotions, rather than something instantly sexual like many other gay representations have been in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fountain Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I have one question for the people that have watched already! Spoiler Does this season deal with Charlie’s eating disorder, like in the comic? I’m assuming it will but the trailer didn’t give anything away about it so I’m wondering. Thanks!

UnusualBoy Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I liked this season, although it was way sadder than the first one, especially on the last 3 episodes I wish I was a teen again and live a teen love like that one, it's so pure and magical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augmented Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Think I’m going to try and do 1 episode a day, not sure if I will stick to it but I really really don’t want to binge it this time…after going through my rewatch and watching episode one I have to say it; this might get me dragged but It’s so interesting to me how the show that is supposedly too “clean and innocent” manages to sell physical intimacy better then 95% of the gay couples in both teen AND adult queer media EP 1 stuff ( it’s a lot of thoughts so feel free to ignore ) Spoiler Well looks like we are staying on theme with Taos angsty personality because the way he reacted to Nick was The way Imogen’s actress delivers lines genuinely has me creasing like it’s so unintentionally funny I love her. Sort of mad that to keep her around this season she has to be connected to Ben in some way Really not happy with them keeping Ben around tbh like one episode in and I already feel like he’s overstayed his welcome on the show, genuinely feels like a case of Alice having to come up with a drama plot to keep him around because the cast grew too attached to him and wanted him to still be involved Was not expecting Charlie’s parents to react like that omg the way they made it weird instantly… also omg Jenny Walser said yes you are going to see me for 5 seconds at a time but I’m going to absolutely sell it because the emotion in Tori’s eyes when she was looking at Charlie at the end of the episode Fearing for my life that the spoiler I posted in the other page is going to end up being true because Charlie’s monologue at the end of the episode was definitely giving “I’m getting the supportive boyfriend arc this season”. Nick already felt like the standout role as you progressed through season 1 so I hope they don’t do that again and shift the focus more back on Charlie instead.

Blade Runner Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Just finished it. And just like last season, I'm now a totally different person and more obsessed than ever with eveything this show has been building. Like others have been saying, being inside the world of Heartstopper feels bittersweet, sad, and nostalgic. But obviously that's just one of the many sides of the series. Clearly you always end up feeling hopeful and full of a precious, lovely energy. I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't like when Heartstopper is extra preachy and too PSA'd. I get it's part of its charm and it's intented for its teen audience, but it doesn't feel "real" because sometimes those characters talk and think like they're 35 years old with an entire life of experiences behind them. Having said that, I like how that sort of "emotionally perfect" world is crashing down more and more. Sounds harsh to say that, but from a narrative perspective, I think it's smart how Alice Oseman (the creator) is telling us that this perfect, sweet world is just a teenage fantasy (for the most part, at least) and we need to enjoy it while it lasts. I've read the comics and I know this series gets darker and darker, so even though I'm not into that preachy stuff that much, I feel happy because it exists. Every storyline was so beautifully crafted and so, so monumental. From Isaac to Elle to Imogen (yassquenokurr) to Tao to Tara and Darcy, there's a sense of care that you don't get anywhere else. And of course our precious boys broke our hearts once again. Kit and Joe just knocked it out of the park and that last scene was worthy of so many awards. What a great piece of television.

Blade Runner Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) The Paris trip and that budget, honey. You could feel and breathe that freaking city, mygawd. Spoiler I wanna know what you guys think about the rest of background characters. It feels intentional to portray the other side of the school like "normal", dumb teenagers who are more like the ones we see everyday instead of these emotionally mature Heartstopper type of people. Like that forest party in episode 3 felt so "out of place" because it's something more Euphoria or Skins or whatever than this, lol. It was nice to see that. Oh, and Ben. So many things to say about him, but I'll wait lol PS. One of the best parts of this show is the production value. Like I can't imagine the amount of endless thought behind EVERY scene. You can literally see how the clothes, the lights (!!!), the makeup and even the walls always match perfectly. Outstanding. Like look at that composition. Eveything is blue and it's so freaking beautiful. Edited August 4, 2023 by Blade Runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
