Season 2 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Heartstopper matures its protagonists (and therefore itself) in season two. It remains a dreamy must-watch that’s neither theatrical nor over-the-top, making it a great antidote to plenty of other coming-of-age TV shows. So do yourself a favor and carve out four hours for another non-stop binge. Read full review

Season 2 Review: This season, Charlie and Nick's relationship evolves effortlessly through eight episodes and allows them to explore their developing identities and sexuality, troubles with mental health and eating disorders, and tense familial drama. Read full review

Season 2 Review: While Locke and Connor’s chemistry is so strong that you wouldn’t blame the series for leaning on it even more heavily, the other actors are strong, too. And their various entanglements are interesting in their own right, and present a wide enough view of the LGBTQIA+ experience that it never feels like Heartstopper is hitting the same beats over and over again.

Season 3 Review: With its third entry, Heartstopper pushes itself into a new, more exciting chapter, embodying the coming-of-age genre like few other shows on television. Read full review

The Guardian Rebecca Nicholson

Aug 4, 2023

Season 2 Review: It is richer, more assured and benefits from throwing its net wider. It is aimed at younger audiences, and that is never forgotten, but it is more subtle than it first appears, while remaining a sweet and lovely thing. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Affectionate, blunt, caring, didactic, edgeless, flamboyant: Heartstopper runs the alphabet of adjectives, but never quite makes it all the way to good. Read full review

It’s literally life changing. It took me back to my old school years before I knew I was trans when I lived as a gay boy so scared of the world but mostly love. Watching this show I feel like I can teleport myself to those years but living the life I would want to have a that moment. ThankIt’s literally life changing.

Heartstopper is a great example of a well done adaptation, perhaps because the author herself was involved throughout the show process. It's a hug that warms our heart.

I love it it’s the most real and innocent tv series that reflect the way a LGBT+ relationship is

The message of Heartstopper is just so important. Despite the adversity LGBTQ+ face in our lives - homophobia, transphobia, hate, and everything else that is terrible about humanity - it's okay for us to find love. With our friends, with our partners, with ourselves. It's a simple coming outThe message of Heartstopper is just so important. Despite the adversity LGBTQ+ face in our lives - homophobia, transphobia, hate, and everything else that is terrible about humanity - it's okay for us to find love. With our friends, with our partners, with ourselves. It's a simple coming out story with complex, relatable, important themes that I think will resonate with people of all ages across the queer spectrum. I truly wish I had media content like this to help guide my own self discovery when I was a teenager, but I am so very happy that new generations will have such a beautiful, positive representation of themselves on television to help guide them through the turbulent years that are teenage life.… Expand

La série m’a rappelé comment ce passait mes pires Années d’école , l’éducation écarte trop les communautés LGBT alors qu’ils font parti de la société, vraiment touchant de AaZ , j’attends fortement une saison 2 ❤️

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 timesthis 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 homophobic. 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… Expand
