Tiziano's Boy Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Spoiler Episode 8 I'm just wondering, does Tori kind of feel like a mother figure to Charlie even though she's his sister, I'm assuming his father has divorced from Charlie's mum or she has died, Tori is a great character though and I love her and Charlie's relationship with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiziano's Boy Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 That was a great show, so f*cking amazing and adorable , the fight in Episode 7 definitely reminds me of school here in Northern Ireland, hitting and slapping and everyone around those fighting egging them on I have never had a proper boyfriend though, so made me feel sad in that respect, but wish I had have had something like this when I was growing up and figuring out who I was. Spoiler Definitely can relate to Nick finding out his sexuality, been there myself , those Are You Gay tests really bring back the memories for me and the internalised homophobia as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw Charlie's mom briefly in one episode when Nick came over in the rain. And of course we saw his dad two or three times. Nick's parents are the one who is divorced. Nick's father is French and lives in Paris. In the graphic novels, Charlie and his mom don't get along very well. It takes awhile for them to really understand each other. And that's why I think Tori watches out for Charlie and tries to be there. I agree, I love Tori! She is a really awesome character. In the graphic novels, she cares for Charlie and Nick a lot. She defends them from Nick's homophobic older brother as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry didn't realise we seen his mum, I forgot , Tori's role needs to be expanded in the 2nd season and I'm assuming Charlie's dad is South African? Just noticed his accent and knew it was South African. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augmented Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 2 hours ago, publikcitizen said: It would depend if Netflix would go hard on campaigning for the show. Olivia Colman could get a nom for best guest actress and maybe Alice can get a nom for best writing. I think it’s Emmy chances are incredibly slim but I definitely feel like they will campaign it for some British awards (BAFTAs, NTAs, RTS Programme etc) tho shows from network TV tend to win big over streaming service shows.

Spoiler He's from Almeria, Spain in the novel iirc About season 2 Spoiler They can save some budget by changing the trip's destination from Paris to whatever is convenient from them. I believe Nick's fluent in french in the comics, Kit's french is.. not very convincing (He can count up to thirteen tho, that was cute) My point is that Nick's dad being french and the trip to Paris are not really important so I guess they could just scrap it and choose some other destination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better not cut Paris from S2. I don't think Alice will do that. Why do you say the trip is not important? It is for Elle and Tao's relationship, Nick's first suspicion of Charlie's eating disorder, Charlie standing up to Harry, and the relationship between the teachers. It will allow for more character developments of the central Paris group. Kit will get a French tutor. It's part of being an actor, that's their job.

WildAmerican Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Just finished! I liked it! It was definitely wonderful representation of all sorts of queer experiences. I related to certain parts so hard lol Wish the show dug a little deeper on some characters, everyone but Nick and Charlie felt a little bland. That said, I'm so happy this show exists and I hope so many young kids are watching and seeing how it's okay to be different Spoiler the scene with Olivia colman in the last episode : ' ) that's like almost exactly what my mom said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted April 29, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 29, 2022 Caught up on the entire thread now that I'm done and the way everyone is both so enamored with the show but ALSO depressed that we don't have a Nick in our lives I have to c̶r̶y̶ laugh. a few points: - The final scene with Nick and Olivia made me tear up. So well done. For those of you who read the source material, does his mom have a role in the next 2 books? - re: Tao: As @Bloo said, he was incredibly annoying, BUT I have to say I switched on him. His focus on maintaining the friend group was kind of cringe, but in the latter half of the season it was clear he was actually looking out for Charlie and was actually being a good friend to him imo. I think people need a friend who can call you out if you're lowering your standards for someone, and Charlie didn't deserve to have to date someone in secret again. - I love how mature the Imogen x Nick conversation was So unrealistic for high school, let's be real, but I still loved it anyway. - The soundtrack!!!

If there’s a second season, her story could be expanded to deal with Nick’s older homophobic brother and helping Nick come to term with Charlie’s eating disorder. It’s a very powerful scene in the graphic novel. This will all depends if Olivia Colman will be available. So I really hope this can happen.

publikcitizen Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Casting spoiler for a potential second season. Don’t open if you haven’t read the graphic novels. Spoiler Who should play Nick’s homophobic brother for S2? I was trying to think of an up and coming British actor but I can’t think of one who would be good at it. At first I thought of George Mackay but I think he’s too old to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
