Connor carried the whole season for me. Every scene with Adam in it makes me cry. I cried so hard at the break up scene and his acting is just amazing. He is so talented. I believe his performance this season deserves at least an Emmy or a BAFTA nomination. Love you Connor.

[@danrgn5078]

Agree! I would even skip through all the unnecessary scenes and characters just to get to his. I have to say the all the actors on this series are freakishly talented, they all play their characters in the most genuine and natural way. The producers managed to pull a great team together.

[@lastsongsyndromeify]

TOTALLY AGREE!!! Waiting for his nominations. :)

Adam is such a well-written character. He was initially the token bully in an unsupportive home with lots of internalized hatred, and many of us were on the same boat with Otis that Eric was too good for Adam. But this season completely flipped that around and the writers + Connor made almost all of us team Adam.

[@alejandromagana9327]

Im still team Eric because I see how he is ready to live his life fully, but Adam’s growth and journey was something to behold.

[@hakuyue]

@@alejandromagana9327 It’s like Rue e Jules, kinda

[@bellamybomb]

I loved Adam's character development all the way from season 1. Connor did a great job, and Adam's story was definitely one of the major highlights for me this season

[@bwoahman]

Adam carried us on his back this season and Connor killed it this season! Especially at the end, man it broke me. I think BAFTA nomination is in the pocket.

[@audioliquor]

I cried like a baby when Adam's voice was reading his poem to Eric. I immediately rewinded it and listened to it again. My heart broke. :'(

[@kelvynxavier5200]

i've finished the last season yesterday and i just can't get over of his poem :( extremely touching and beautiful. Also, Adam's journey is the one that I most identified with, as a bisexual person.

[@voyance4elle]

I really cried a lot because of the poem x.x

[@leagueofbf7862]

it's not great but not bad

[@MAYK1NG]

He played THE most interesting, nuanced character WHO with brilliant comedic timing.

[@anandita5554]

I honestly didnt like that eric was kinda pressurising adam in the third season to be open and not closeted with being gay/bisexual. Its such a personal matter and a big struggle in this world so it takes a lot for a person to do it. Its not so simple as doing it for one's partner to feel more comfortable. But i understand how it feels to be at different points in one's life. Still his behaviour wasnt justified for a very newly discovering exploring adam.

honestly? Ruby and Adam are the best written characters in this season, you see how damn hard their life is and they still go for it, they both loved someone who hasn't shared the feeling, I love these two and i hope that in 4 season they will be still so awesome

[@ancthrlove4838]

He’s so calm and collected with every single interview and seems so intelligent yet can have a fun side. I’d absolutely love to be friends with him or just meet him in general. Adam’s character is so well-written and his development over the seasons is so personal to me. The way Connor manages to portray his character so well and intricately is mind blowing to me. He really has so much talent, despite the little experience he has, proving his acting is genuine and well deserved. I’m forever grateful for Adam’s character and how much Connor was able to put himself into this beautifully written character. I’m excited to see what things Connor has in the future because i feel like he can go pretty far.

[@jaredvlogs8891]

he broke my heart this season. he delivered such deep feelings without many lines. I can't wait for adam to become more comfortable with himself and just be happier in the next season.

every intervew with the cast people are just talking about characters and storyline but not the interviews itself. im probably on the 30th video from the cast interviews and i love how aware they are with the characters they play and the message it wants to relay. i also appreciate what they share to us and i personally like connor's interviews i think i learn a lot from him too the way he learns from the actor that plays his dad. the cast are brilliant i love them they all share something with substance

hate? they are supposed to be realistic and not perfect. They all had their reasons for what they did and to be honest that is more realistic about how relationships are than to just show us two teens falling in love and being in love forever with kids and a big house and never working. The show has made it obvious they are going on the realistic way and not the fantasy that is why it deal with so many issues.

If he was an actual ass in real live, then he would be so unattractive. I would have dismissed him immediately. But thanks to the fact that he is an awesome, funny, well-rounded character - and it seems like an even better actor to boot - I'd rock his world him every which way from Tuesday. Intelligence, self-awareness/mindfulness, and empathy get you so much further in life as a man, than anything else at the end of the day.

Wonder what he means by point scoring? But from what I can gather, that probably IS toxic. But not necessarily born of masculinity. Masculinity is not inherently toxic.
