“Heartstopper” Tackles LGBTQ+ Bullying With Beauty and Grace ... (Den of Geek)

Netflix new drama shows an optimistic world where there are consequences for bullying and bigotry.

If the show runs for many years, it is sure to continue showing the positives of the queer experience more than the negatives. The couple cements themselves as boyfriends in the final scene of the first season, and Nick claims that he will start telling the people he cares about that he’s bisexual. Whether that bullying is physical, emotional, or mental, it is sure to be addressed with a blaring positivity. In this climactic scene, we get the most mature and startling dialogue in the show. The latter has been out of the closet for some time, or at least it’s insinuated, and therefore has already overcome many of the feelings of confusion that his boyfriend is having. There is sure to be more bullying that commences, this time more towards Nick. It’s in this contrast that we get to see the main tension of the overly-optimistic program. Nick is the star of the school rugby team. When Harry won’t accept his actions as being wrong, he starts to dig in deeper, and the result is a physical altercation between Nick and Harry. Queer youth are bullied at nearly twice the rate of their straight counterparts. As Nick sees the abuse Charlie receives, he starts fighting back in a big way. Charlie is a perpetual victim of bullying.

Heartstopper: Behind-the-scenes photos show cast are close pals (Metro)

The friend group in Netflix's Heartstoppers look to be as close off screen as they are on the show (Picture: Instagram/ Joe Locke).

Yasmin, Joe, William, Kit and Sebastian all feature in the photo, posing in some striking outfits, Yasmin bearing her midriff in a cut-out top and shorts. In one photo the boys pose in a taxi, Kit with a face mask in his hand as he appears to have been caught off guard by the snap. Kit can be seen sticking out his tongue and giving a thumbs up to the camera, while Joe looks like he’s in the middle of a peal of laughter. Reflection and obstruction photos are clearly a thing with Joe, as another photograph posted by the actor to Instagram sees Joe, Kit Connor who plays Nick, and William Gao who plays Tao Xu, posing in the reflection of a kitchen window. The boys are outside in a sunny garden, Kit in sunglasses to protect his eyes, as they aim the camera at the window where a sink, toaster and kettle can be seen. One of the reasons the show is proving so popular is the sheer wholesomeness of it all; just a group of friends hanging out and falling in love.

Oseman’s work is undeniably sharp and “aww”-inducing, and it might be a challenge not to watch all eight episodes in one sitting. They still attend a boy’s high school with the average set of tyrants—in this case, it’s largely Nick’s rugby friends who pick on Charlie and Tao the most. Tara and Darcy’s journey provides an interesting parallel to Charlie and Nick, who start off more on a note of confusion. It also focuses on Charlie’s best buddies: Elle (Yasmin Finney), a Black trans student who moves away to an all-girls school to escape bullying, Isaac (Tobie Donovan), rarely seen without a book in hand, and Tao Xu (William Gao), a movie nerd struggling to keep the merry band together. Nick’s attraction to Charlie catches him by surprise (but not disdain). Over the course of the season, he begins to grasp and accept his bisexuality without any forced drama. Much like Alice Oseman’s graphic novel and webcomic, her TV adaptation is a proponent of tender LGBTQ romances and non-stereotypical characters in the midst of self-discovery.

The 4 'Heartstopper' Easter Eggs You May Have Missed From the ... (Newsweek)

"Heartstopper" landed on Netflix on Friday, April 22 and creator Alice Oseman spoke to Newsweek about several Easter Eggs fans might have missed.

"It was so amazing. In Heartstopper the reference to Netflix is a lot more subtle than that as it happens when Nick is at home and is seen making a cup of tea for himself and his mom. I just wanted to be like a figure in the background. I didn't want to say anything. The character is a friend of Charlie's in the comics who is one of two protagonists in the book, and she explained that she didn't feel she could give him a satisfactory storyline in the show without erasing all he had experienced in the novel. There is a person seen sat on the bay of seats next to the couple who is seen drawing on a tablet, and this is Oseman.

Heartstopper has made its debut on Netflix, and the television adaptation of Alice Oseman's graphic novel series is already taking the world by storm.

And it sounds like Kit Connor and Joe Locke already know where they’d like the adaptation to go. Heartstopper may not be renewed for season 2, but lead actors Kit Connor and Joe Locke seem game to reprise their roles. Heartstopper Vol. 3 also features a trip to France — so fans may get their own version of Emily in Paris in the future.

Although Heartstopper Season 2 isn’t confirmed just yet, the Netflix show has plenty of material to work with if it receives more episodes. And it could take a while to get answers about their return.

When I think about how when I was growing up, queer characters were relegated to “very special episodes,” almost always revolving around tragedy and heartbreak if they were there at all, it makes me so happy that the kids today have warm and wonderful stories like Heartstopper. if nick nelson has ten fans, i‘m one of them. if nick nelson has a million fans, i‘m one of them. Here are just a few of the tweets that we saw. The Guardian raves that the series is “possibly the loveliest on TV,” and explains the central premise along with how happy Heartstopper will leave you feeling: “It follows 14-year-old Charlie as he develops a crush on popular rugby player Nick, after they bond over whether it is appropriate or not to do your homework on the way to maths.

Heartstopper's Joe Locke: 'A lot of queer people growing up feel like ... (The Independent)

The 18-year-old star of Netflix's most joyous series tells Ellie Harrison about being picked out of 10000 teenagers for the role, and how 'Heartstopper' is ...

“Difference is seen as a bad thing in a lot of schools and to other teenagers because you don’t fit in with a certain norm that’s seen to be acceptable. He hopes “people will see themselves” in Heartstopper. “I want it to say to young queer people: ‘You deserve to have this story. “I was never bullied in school but I was a little bit different and I went through phases of being a bit quieter than I’d have liked…” he says. Locke – who grew up in the Isle of Man, the son of a schoolteacher mother and newsagent father – doesn’t like to think about the fact he beat 10,000 people to the role “because that seems really scary”. “It was an open casting call so I didn’t have an agent or anything and I hadn’t done anything professional before,” he says. And part of that is because, when you’re a teenager, you don’t know yourself, and a way of covering that is to attack other people. School can be a wonderful place but it can also be a not so wonderful place if you don’t happen to fit in properly.” “Teenage years are really hard, I think, and when you grow up, you forget that being a teenager is actually really a bit s*** sometimes. “I sent in a self-tape and got a Zoom recall, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s strange.’ I did another Zoom recall and then another, and I was like, ‘Oh, maybe this might actually happen.’ I’d always wanted to be an actor but, being from the Isle of Man, it’s even harder when you don’t have access to the same sort of generic route lots of young actors would have in the UK: going to acting schools where they bring in agents or doing theatre auditions at the weekend for the West End.” Instead, Locke was a big part of the local amateur dramatics scene, and would spend most of his summers performing in the “really lovely old Victorian theatre” in his town. The show doesn’t shy away from the painful experiences many queer teenagers have – Charlie both hooks up with and is bullied by Ben Hope (Sebastian Croft), a popular boy who has a girlfriend and refuses to acknowledge Charlie in public. “Our story is not so based on sex, because our characters are turning 15 and 16 in the series, so it’s more about relationships and love. It is, as Locke puts it, “a beautiful story of acceptance and love and friendship and happiness”. It’s already been dubbed the “anti- Euphoria”, swapping drugs and sex for milkshakes and snow angels. Then we were on set one day and Kit [O’Connor, co-lead] whispered it to me and I started screaming.” On the day his own casting was announced in the press, Locke went from 1,000 Instagram followers to 15,000.
