heartstopper is the show we all need and deserve 💖 | ep. 1 & 2 reaction

[@rosiesaunders95]

I think the fact Alice oseman actually wrote the script and produced. I’ve never seen an author/creator have this much say and control. It makes this so perfect!! X

[@localabsurdist6661]

The only other author that comes to my mind is Neil Gaiman with Good Omens and American Gods

We'll see it again with Percy Jackson!

[@nomdeplume1358]

Yup, I just feel heartstopper just proves that the more an author is involved in an adaptation of their work, the more faithful and true to theme it is. There were minor changes but I feel like the changes made really aided the story. It just makes me so HAPPY I could cry😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@AClockworkReader]

yes exactly!!!!

[@dancexxchild]

There were pieces of dialogue that were exactly the same words as the original graphic novel. Probably since Alice wrote every episode haha

when i tell you i've re-watched the show thrice already i'm not kidding, heartstopper is free therapy

[@jessmoony]

I watched the show with zero expectations, just because I was bored. Ended up feeling all giddy and giggling nonstop, it literally put me in such a good mood I desperately needed more. It’s been two days and I’ve already read the first 5 volumes of the webtoon. They took over my life and I’m not even mad, it just feels so refreshing to have some light happy queer content I can see myself in. Good video btw I hope you react to the rest of the episodes x

[@witchy.business]

Exactly what happened to me! I was like- oh, this looks like a cute show, and now I feel like all of these characters are my children lmao

[@zoey398]

might try to read the webtoon but unless someone gifts me the physical copies i can't read them because they aren't at my library + homophobic parents + not having my own netflix account and having to watch anything pg-13 or higher on my dad's account + him having full control over every account there

watching this show at 22 feels so bittersweet. on the one hand i'm so happy for all the lgbtq+ teens who will find comfort in this show, but on the other hand i'm jealous i didn't have something as pure as that when i was growing up and figuring stuff about myself. and dear god, finally seeing a perfect bisexual representation really means a lot. and kit connor blew me away with his performance. everything about this show was amazing but he was definitely the highlight for me.

[@Octobris]

I never really rewatch shows. And I rewatched Heartstopper. Annnnd I will probably rewatch it multiple times until season 2 comes. It simply stole my heart and words can't express my love for it. I just...

[@Octobris]

ALSO we can stan Orla Gartland together

[@aprilf00ls]

I’m so glad when she almost started crying because of “why am I like this” by Orla, honestly same, I was screaming and crying lol I feel like Orla is not known enough and finding her in this was just amazing, but yeah, I got really emotional over a song and I’m so happy I wasn’t the only one

[@gracegormann5492]

This was so lovely and I think it’s criminal that you ladies didn’t do a full series react. I am glad that you watched and loved the remaining episodes. This truly is a perfect adaptation. Just an absolute fountain of serotonin. ❤️

[@haley4855]

the queer-coded intro killed me, absolutely brilliant!

[@irmamelkumian1074]

This show feels like such a hug! I watched a couple episodes last night and my heart continues to melt🥺 The casting is perfect and I genuinely couldn't have imagined such a perfect adaptation!

[@alisonfabi1081]

COMPLETELY AGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU TWO SAID!! i watched it with my sister and we were basically the exact same sdfjsdfk but yes this show is so good and so important and my bisexual heart feels so much warmer now that it's finally here after having started reading it almost 4 years ago (might start crying ngl)

[@ciorneimihnea4993]

you need to make this a series, i personally found it so enjoyable to watch, like seriously do it, i don't think you are gonna regret it

Ok but your pfp tho, that's my favourite book of all time.

The way this show went back in time and healed a part of my soul that I wasn’t even sure was broken?? Also, Kit’s portrayal of Nick...it’s giving one of my new fav characters ever! 😍💜

[@tamaratamii4595]

I bisexually felt this show in my whole body. It took over my life

[@teresaneves8839]

You guys are literally all of us while watching the show lmao. I kept screaming and squealing every time that did anything SLIGHTLY cute like looking at each other. My parents thought I was having a stroke but I was just soooo happy at how this turned out. I won’t say it’s better than the books *yet*, but I really liked how we got to see more from certain characters, like Tara, Darcy and Elle! The casting? Flawless. The acting??? Perfection. The script???? Breathtaking. All I can say is that this show and this cast are: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference (do reference it please!!), put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it and I love it so much 🥰🥰🥰

[@kritishdadu3395]

Heartstopper is soooo adorable and happy a book!! The casting is like the characters just came out to play themselves the recent adaptation is sooo dreamy and cute!! AND HANNAH'S REACTION IS THE CUTEST!!!! XXXX❤️

[@Amyduckie]

You: everyone needs a Nick in their life. Me grinning like an idiot because Nick reminds me of my husband. 😂😍

[@captainjonny]

After binging the show last Friday I decided to read all volumes and the recently released chapters on webtoon and wow Heartstopper truly is one of the most beautiful and wholesome content I have ever consumed. It’s healed me in ways I can’t explain. This video was a joy to watch. Thank you both!

[@musicalnerds101]

What you said about how you’re so happy for kids today and imagine if we had this in middle and high school is EXACTLY what my sister and I said while watching this. I’m so so happy that people who are making media today are able to take more risks and portray queer characters in a wholesome and relatable way. I never got that.

[@thejenmath]

Please do this for the entire season! This adaptation is precious and perfect and wholesome and wonderful, and I love every second of it.

So excited to see this! Both of your reactions were exactly the same as mine. Hearing someone say “I am definitely bisexual” out loud, with no ambiguity, was something I didn’t know I needed to see/hear until I was tearing up

[@nicoleroberts9925]

I’m a freshman in high school and heartstopper has had such an incredible impact on my life. It’s helped me accept who I truly am and I feel so understood whenever I read the graphic novels. Nick as a character is so special to me because I am also having a hard time with my sexuality and constantky debate if i am rlly Bisexual or if it is just a phase. Love you guys so much!!!

[@ThatsMyUsborneBook]

You're so right about the subtlety with how this show does 'show' instead of 'tell', which also means that somethings can only be picked up on rewatches. You instantly picked up on Charlie's eating thing in ep 1 - possibly because you read the books so you were looking for it.

(A book spoiler!!!!) I unfortunately haven’t had the chance to read the books yet but do know a bit about what it’s about and I must say THE WAY THEY SET UP CHARLIES ED OH MY GODDD it was so subtle yet easy to notice if you pay attention, I can’t wait to read the books!!

Just now came across your channel & loved this -- probably the best HS reaction video I've seen (of dozens). But did you stop at Episode 2??

[@mackenziebrynnrap]

this video/your reactions are just like the show: PERFECTION! lol XD The show is so warm and wholesome and lovely and adorable and your reactions were also so warm and wholesome and lovely and adorable. Not to mention your comments are like 5000% truth: the much inclusion of the girls (especially Elle), the inclusion of the comic/graphic novel elements, the casting...basically everything. Will you have reactions to the rest of the episodes or just those two? Also profoundly agree that it's so weird to be an Old Queer(TM) on the interwebs this day and age. (I didn't have Kurt Hummel until college so THATS how fckin old I am lol XD) Like you, every time I see or read a queer YA or MG thing I'm all like "Damn I WISH I had this as a kid!" but I'm not even mad or that jealous about it cuz I'm just happy that it's here and that the young queer kiddos get to have this, and that WE even get to have this even though we're adults is so nice and uplifting! Love to you (and Katie) and thank you for this lovely wholesome wonderful video! I might watch it on repeat just like Heartstopper lol XD
