Honestly nick is the only reason why I'm bi and not lesbian (joking I'm definitely bi but I know some people that are what I just described sorry my English is not very good and it's late)

Yessss this show is so good, it’s possibly the most wholesome show I’ve ever seen lol.

[@HarryAllen9]

Episode 1 alone got my heart exploding so I am not sure I will survive lol

[@alicjajanicka8605]

Yes I agree ❤️ I love chemistry between Charlie and Nick

[@alananimus9145]

It's very much like the short film "in a heartbeat" or the 1996 film "Beautiful Thing"

[@NaliaDanger]

Nick is 100% a sweetheart. This show has been out for less than a week and I've already watched it 3 times and read all 4 volumes of the graphic novel series. I might be a little obsessed. Loved your episode 1 reaction - looking forward to future episodes!

[@pabillong]

Same #HeartStopper Obsessed OMG Loved your reaction Bravo

[@JacobMinger]

I watched the whole show, then read the graphic novels and now I’m watching the show AGAIN through reactions. So RELATABLE, and I just want to protect Charlie and nick forever.

[@G1NZOU]

We all need a Nick, but also this show inspires me to be someone's Nick. He's just so kind.

[@wallyhodges]

Nick's closed mouth smile is just the absolute best...lol

[@rosiesaunders95]

Having read the graphic novels. I’ve never seen an adaptation so perfect which I’m guessing is down to the fact that the author of the novels wrote the script and produced the show it feels so authentic and realistic and the fact the actors are 18-20 it’s so perfect xx

[@KristyRadio]

Agreed!!! Even their hand placement etc is exactly as drawn in the comics!

[@lilkiwi_7977]

charlie: *gets put next to nick* “ooh are we about to get some classic homophobia” me, who has watched the show more than once and read the comic three times since 2017: oh harry

I want a Nick... Funnily enough we had one at my school, his name is Larry, star rugby player, good looking, good grades and very kind and humble and treated everyone with such respect... So they do exist

[@mirrorball1347]

Arguably the best reaction to Heartstopper I've seen so far (and I've seen a lot. I mean, A LOT). I love your insights and how you relate the events in the show to your own experience. Very informative and engaging! Can't wait for your reaction to next episodes!

Same! :D

[@shuizaffre]

I really like your videos! You're very thoughtful and analytical, and I like that with reaction videos. Just letting you know because I like hearing your in-depth thoughts about Heartstopper, you don't get that much discussing and more of reacting when it comes to YT reactions usually. Nice videos.

[@NSLuna]

OMG!!!! YEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!! I literally was about to comment in the ELITE video that you should watch Heartstopper!!! You are gonna LOVE IT!!

[@HarryAllen9]

I am SO ready for this show!

[@avilhelm]

Currently binging Heartstopper reactions😅 Loved your reaction! I love in this episode that Nick is never scared of interacting with Charlie because he's gay, Nick just likes him and treats him as a new friend. That Golden Retriever energy!

[@i_love_my_rat11]

The boy who saved Charlie from Ben, his name is Nicholas Nelson but we call him Nick, and that’s what he is called throughout the rest of the show, I hope this helps, because he is a very important character and has a lot of development. Please continue to watch this on here, I love it, and there is also a graphic novel series that was based on this! I hope this helps!

[@brianmatthews1736]

I LOVE YOUR REACTION! I was almost exactly the same...I am a bit older than you, so what affected me most is so unfortunate for us that we didn't have this positive content for queer people of my age. Closest thing was Beautiful Thing in 1996, but I was still too old (30 in 96) to appreciate it as a teen. I really love this so much though, and wish so much I could have had this show as a teen. But well done on your reaction! Brian

[@HarryAllen9]

100%, I was lucky to have a few shows while growing up but seeing the sheer amount of GOOD representation on TV nowadays makes my heart happy

[@michaelblower7363]

I know how you feel buddy. I was born in 1991 and I think there was very little LGBT Romance stories other than the "Forbidden Fruit" types, if you catch my drift. I'm also glad to see it blending into the media nowadays, we have come a long way! :-D

[@jodan1309]

“Looking” is also a good queer show

[@brattneyrose5652]

I've been watching a ton of Heartstopper reactions, and less than halfway through this one, I can already tell you it's my favorite.

[@micah_eagle]

The show has more than paid it’s dues in an homage to its WEBTOON roots by not hiding that fact and actually making it a big form of their marketing. Alice, the author, was so heavily involved with the cast and crew and heavily consulted on everything. They got literally everything from Charlie’s backpack, all the way down to the shoes he and Nick wear. It’s the littlest details that make the biggest impact. I reread the books after watching the show and it is so closely followed concerning the story. They don’t deviate too far and it’s something that I’m sure a lot of people have appreciated. It’s pretty emotional, seeing characters in drawing just leap to life and become real people, they’ve captured everything so well and it made me cry because it was perfect representation. I love seeing people appreciate the show and such as much as I do.

[@Icyyddoll]

I love that I found someone who is British reacting to this show hahaha. I can’t wait to see the rest of your reactions!

[@lindsaynicole4812]

I love this show so much!! And I love all the graphic novels (that are out so far) as well! I loved your reaction and insights! Can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of the season!

[@zakikin6006]

“WHAT A TWAAAAT” that was my exact reaction lmaooo

[@Ch4dL4nd]

I've watched this show 2 times and it's not enough. It's so good. Everyone is so well written, the interactions are gorgeous and such good role models for kids. I really hope this show gets more seasons. I've never seen a show that makes feel this way and shows such important interactions with queer people. A+ for representation. You'll be obsessed by the time you finish. I'm gonna go cry gay tears of happiness now.

Euros Lyn was the series director. He has directed many episodes of Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sherlock, Broadchurch etc. Alice Oseman was there as an Executive Producer and adviser on the show. She was there at nearly every scene to make sure the director got it right.

[@danielaarriaga8415]

[@amandadougherty6615]

It’s really true though that this show takes you back to that time when you were unsure of yourself, and you got butterflies and overanalyzed every single interaction you had with a crush. And everything was so hard to deal with. Ugh, young love….🥰

Just subscribed to your channel. I loved watching this show so much and enjoyed your reactions to different scenarios so much. The fact that you don't over exaggerate your reaction. I'm american but ive been so fascinated with the British culture ... sometimes i feel like ive been stuck where i am .. similar to when people say theyve been born at the wrong time. There's something so wholesome about this show and British culture, maybe i'm just looking through rose-tinted glasses but this show did things to me. I also love your avatar wall in the backround.

[@reidslcvrr]

“let’s hope there’s no homophobia” (1:50) nick: *bi panic*

[@Finnthefroggy]

Something I love about this that I haven't seen on any other reaction videos is that you somehow went in completely blind. You didn't even know the main couple. "Oh I hope Nick's not homophobic." "Hmm, Nick keeps giving Charlie these looks. IDK I think he might be queer." Did you not see any promo? Did you not...see the thumbnail on Netflix? I love it. I wish I could have gone in that blind. Also, (SPOILER FOR LATER EPISODES) @14:25 I think this right here gets down to the root of why I love the contrast between Nick and Ben. Nick was also in a place where he didn't feel comfortable coming out yet, but he does everything Ben doesn't. He loves spending time with Charlie. He loves talking to him and getting to know him. He goes out of his way to spend as much time as possible with him. He stands up for Charlie on multiple occasions. He feels guilty about being closeted, purely because he doesn't want to make Charlie feel like a dirty secret. Perhaps most importantly, he's unashamed to be seen with the The Gay Kid, even when others try to shame or bully him. I love that Alice added the scene with Ben pretending not to know Charlie (it wasn't in the comic), because the relationship between Nick and Charlie LITERALLY starts out with them being acquaintances who say hi to each other in the hallway.

[@steveankeny840]

Your reaction is adorable lol. I think I had similar reactions. I think I'll watch the rest of your reaction videos ☺️🙃. And I completely agree about your Ben assessment. The actor that plays him is lovely. But that tells us how well he acts since he makes us hate him especially in Ep 1.

[@johnking5174]

At 10:21 - Nick invites Charlie to join the rugby team, in my view this was the first sign or a little spark of attraction Nick had to Charlie even in episode one. Nick wants to spend time with Charlie and since Charlie is in a year below him, he feels rugby is the only way he can get closer to Charlie.

[@tanita6234]

Tao is underrated! I really don't understand why people dislike him soo much...

[@jackthemlits]

@@ksiazkolub.pospolity3229 tbh the reason why people hate him so much is that his intention was not explained that well in the show. in the comic, it was better explained better for why he acted that way for charlie and nick and why he was being overprotective. idk that is what I think

[@bryantfair7711]

Tao was a little too much for me. I realize he was trying to protect his friend but the way he was going about was at times just as harsh and emotionally damaging as the relationship with Ben.

[@Lilithly]

By saying "we are barely friends anyway" to someone he KNOWS has mental issues and staying angry with him even after his conversation with nick just to spite Charlie, he really lost a lot of my respect. Charlie was already feeling horrible, he didn't need that.

[@tanita6234]
