    Fun fact: The actor playing Darren's dad was actually in the original Heart Break High. his character's name was River which is similar to Spiders Character

    And as far as representation? We have non-binary, ACE, lesbian, questioning (Malaki), spectrum, queer with different interests... I personally think this shows explores the full range of Queer better than almost any other.

    I don't think Ca$h was hesitant with Darren because he was worried about risking his heart, I think he was worried about Darren's safety after his conversation with Amerie.

    a lot of us gen z teens say this is one of the most accurate representation of communication in any show currently. a lot of shows make it cringe or you can just tell it was made by 30 year olds lmao. of course some themes and humor was more dramatized for the effect of the series, but harper's situation was too real as a young girl. the friendship dynamics were done so flawlessly too, love this show and your reactions to it!

    Another fun fact: both Darren’s dad and boss were in the original Heartbreak High together and even dated!! Darren’s dad’s name was Peter Rivers and their boss’s name was Chaka. That’s why there’s that whole “YOURE their boss/father?!?!” Thing

    On another note, idk how because Cash is poor. But i sure hope he gets out. I wonder If Harper makes a statement to say he was the one to let her go and won’t press chargers against him if he’ll be let go. I def want more of him as his family. And i hope his grandma is okay.

    I really loved Heartbreak High actually, for me it's definitely top-tier- it's a different flavour than say Heartstopper, but I think both are very fun and important series when it comes to representation. I'm hoping we won't have to wait too long for season 2 :D

  • @makncheese9628
    @makncheese9628 Před 7 měsíci +25

    I can tell you that Harper not reporting her SA is something that's very common (edit: I forgot that she does but her being hesitant and nothing being done without proof). I reported mine 2 years after it happened and nothing was done by police and child services because he was a well known teacher. So i dont blame her at all. And i love the representation that they have with that situation in the show. Its needed and important.
    I believe they are already filming the second season.

      I'm so sorry that happened to you and that it was handled that way. I don't know if it's any help, but at least there's more chance of people being wary of him because you spoke up, and/or keeping an eye on him and his behavior. And if someone comes forward again, he's less likely to be believed.

    I agree with Alex, this was a fun, mid-tier show. I have nothing bad to say about it at all. Have I rewatched this series a half dozen times like I have with shows like Heartstopper and Young Royals? No. Will I watch this season again? Probably not. However, when the second season returns, I'll be right on it. I can't wait to see what show you bring us next!!

    I absolutely love this show and lapped up both seasons. I find it interesting that you guys use terms like "aggressive", etc. to describe the show when they're just showing the very real heartbreaking nature of our times - interspersed with the fun/sexual/awkward teenage stuff. The abuse that can happen living with an addict, police violence used against people of color/gay folks, living as a person on the spectrum, class/race/gender/identity issues - and how all these wounds ripple through both individuals and the community. I love shows like this that show the messy truth of our lives - a rainbow of individuals flipping over stereotypes, warts (of all types), sexualities or lack thereof, and the reality of growing up in a fucked up world and trying to make any kind of sense of it. So they use a lot of swear words and fingers. An absolutely valid response in my mind to this world. That's exactly why I love this show. And I adore gran!

    literally in love with this show! loved ur commentary! i recommend watching the polish movie Fanfic - it came out earlier this year and it is has some AMAZING trans and queer rep, the entire plotline revolves around a trans guy. It's not the best film in terms of a substantial plot, but it's focus on transgender and queer representation is absolutely wonderful and as a trans guy myself I felt like it was a great depiction of the trans experience and how others react to it. The movie is also quite beautiful itself, plus the representation is even more amazing when you consider the fact that it was made in Poland, which is currently quite a queerphobic country. luv you guys!!

    Amerie was way too forgiving imo. I can see Harper being angry and maybe even ending their friendship because Amerie left her at the festival. But the silent treatment, the physical violence, hooking up with Dusty, taking advantage of Malakai (after what she went through?!)...thats just too much. What she experienced was horrifying but the way she behaved towards Amerie wasn't justified.

    • @naomibeautymind6226
      @naomibeautymind6226 Před 5 měsíci +3

      Yeah she took everything out on her. Their friendship seems to have an imbalance. Amerie is the giver in this scenario I think that’s why Harper had such an extreme reaction for her “letting her down”. None of what happened to Harper was Ameries fault and even her letting her down after seeing spider their all of it made sense from Ameries. Harper on the other hand non of it is justified in regards to Amerie especially her hooking up with both boys that Amerie liked what kind of ish that.

    I love your videos. I'm just not sure if it's smart to show the climax of the video in the first seconds. I often only watch reaction videos to build up to the climax and then be surprised how they react. You take that mystery in the first seconds. Maybe you could show the moment before the climax, but I don't think people watch more of the video if the most anticipated part with all the excitement is taken from them at the beginning of the video.
    Again, love your videos, but I just can't ignore that part.
