Hey everyone, thank you so much for all your lovely comments on this video.
We’ve had so much fun making these videos, and it’s been sooooo lovely to have your support, feedback, and amazing insights for each episode. We really enjoyed this series and can’t wait for season 2!!!
Stay tuned for Love, Victor S3 and Young Royals ;)
Love, Alex & Josh xo
YOUNG ROYALS SLAYYYY (i do hope you watch with english subtitles and swedish audio)
Yes, Young Royals!
So excited to see you react to Young Royals!
Thanks for your awesome videos and sharing your thoughts along the way. You are both very thoughtful and very funny! Can’t wait to see what you think of Young Royals!
I also burst into tears when I saw the montage at the end. Also, I was told that the ending they chose, to be so happy and perfect, was done by the production just in case Netflix did not renew it for any more seasons. They felt, if it had to be a one season only show, then end it on a truly happy note. Thankfully Netflix see sense, and we get two more seasons.
I really love how Nick doesn't kiss Charlie on the field in front of everyone. He had to think Charlie wants to break up and it would be incredible trespassing to just pressure him into this public display of affection under these circumstances. Still, he made his move and told Charlie how he felt and made it clear he doesn't mind to get caught. And that day on the beach made it perfectly clear how he's fine with public affection now. This show is such a great example in so many ways.
Not only that, but it likely would've been obvious to Charlie that Nick would only be effectively coming out to win him back, not because he truly felt ready to do it. He'd probably process it as him forcing Nick out of the closet. And then because our boy's an overthinker, he'd blame himself if people responded poorly to Nick's coming out just like he did with the fight.
I agreeeee, especially after Ben's actions towards Charlie I feel like Nick did the best thing, he didn't want to force Charlie into a situation he may have not liked
Love this!
full arc how Alex at first thought Heartstopper is gonna be meh to be fully invested and Charlie and Nick’s love story
You know what I'm just noticing? The fact that in the time between the fights with Harry and Sports Day, Nick is genuinely, truly alone. His boyfriend (who was his best and most genuine friend in general) is avoiding him, he's cut himself off from his friend group (rightfully so), and he can't confide in his mom without outing himself. It's no wonder he was in such anxious distress during the hallway scene in this episode…Charlie at that point was the one good thing he had left.
Damn, I never realized that! thanks for pointing that out
And now I'm crying again.
Wow…that slams like a ton of bricks imagine if it hadn’t worked between him and Charlie. Yuck than what he would be left alone with a bit more knowledge of himself and the realization he doesn’t like his friend group.
@@timothybeebe6382 he has 3 very good friends in comic and they are present in the show too they very much suspected that Charlie and nick are together we just don’t get any real interaction between them here.
Also the fact he had crush on Charlie for long time and had None to talk about so he just wrote about it in his diary 🥲
"Well now I'm just bitter and sad." :(
".... Wanna go to the beach?"
"YEAAAH!" :D
I just love your friendship so much!
That was super cute.
Gay best friends are a gem
Honestly I feel like Liv should receive a government endowment to show up to queer kids' houses so they can come out to her first. What a wholesome, affirming reaction.
Not just in the UK. I think it should be world wide. I had no idea who she was and fell in love with her instantly. She just has this energy about her.
AHHH LOVED YOUR SEASON 1 REACTIONS: from “unrealistic” to *SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALL* “WTF I WANT MOREEEE…NO CLIFFHANGERS”. (hahaha) can’t wait for seasons 2 & 3 and hope u react to those seasons.
Hahaha so true. And yes we’ll definitely be doing season 2 as soon as that comes out 🙌
@@AStoryWorthTelling YES I CAN’T WAIT
Their character development is impressive! 😉
I have watched what some would say (wrongly) is an unhealthy number of Heartstopper reactions, and you guys are my favorites. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Haha thank you David!!
Theirs and brad Evans’s 🥲🥲
I second this!
My favourites as well. By far!
hahahah same
Great final show - especially the squeal! Trivia note : the woman on the train with them is the author of the books and comics. She's actually drawing them while they were filming.
They're in several other scenes if you look out for them on a rewatch - Alice Oseman :).
Not only for the comics but also for the series and she made a fantastic job to translate it to the screen by adding a lot more content to her story, with lot of new scenes with the friends of Charlie and Nick, wich are almost invisible in the first 2 books.
She's in Tara's Instagram comments in episode 6 too when they're sitting in the lunchroom at the beginning of the episode.
@@howlbastionthat one I did notice but I haven’t seen her in any other episodes beside ep. 8. Must scan season again for more Alice!….
@@Yawgrimaswell damn, time to rewatch!
Two fun facts about the scene with Olivia here: 1) She lost her line because she was too 'lost in his face', as Kit made it so emotional. I think he is just an outstanding actor. The way he transports emotions not just with words but the way he breathes, or stammers, the change in his facial expression.. I think he'll go far. 2) the 'I wasn't born in the 18th Century was actually a reference to her former historical movie that was set in that time period and where her character is queer, too. Which is an Easter egg solely included in the show.
All of them are great, but Kit is just next level.
Yes Kit tells a thousand stories and relays so many emotions on that freckled face of his. I love watching his performance. He is a stella actor.
Wow, I didn't know the second fact. I thought about why they changed the date in the comic. Thank you.
To be fair, Kit is just absolutely precious. And his acting is strong enough to go toe to toe with *Olivia Colman* so it's no wonder she was overwhelmed. He's got so much talent it's insane.
@@springform_99 that she got lost with his face is in the bloopers, the 2) was in some compilation, referring to 'The Favorite' movie where her role shares bed with a woman, too.
Kit said in an interview that the coming out scene with Olivia Colman was his fave to shoot. Also he'd been so so nervous to act along side her and wanted to give his all to do that moment in Nick's story proud. And look how he succeeded - made you both, us and Olivia cry streams of tears. Happy tears only of course.. 🧡
So love Olivia Coleman for taking on this part which was a relatively small part for someone of her stature. Her support gives an extra weight to the show that isn't really necessary but helped take the show seriously when it was first launched. I also love that she doesn't try to make the role bigger by sucking the oxygen out of the room during her scenes. She lets a young actor like Kit carry the scene. So respect her!
She said that she was so moved by Kit's acting in his coming out scene that she got lost in the feeling and forgot her line.
"Queer Joy" is how Alice Oseman describes the story. As others have commented, the show carved out a space for pure LGBTQ romance which barely existed in the media and, sadly, in the lives of most LGBTQ people. I have such respect and admiration and gratitude for Alice Oseman and the whole cast and creative team. My new worry: what happens when Kit Connor and Joe Locke get nominated for the same awards? My heart will not be able to take that..... thanks again, enjoyed your reaction to episode 8. Will go back and check out your reactions to the previous episodes.
I LOVE the unapologetic sweetness of this show, where they talk about their feelings, and problems get handled, and there isn't some tragic story arc. I have three young adult kids (none of them straight) who adored Heartstopper.
I, as a 30-year-old straight cis woman (god I feel old), watched this show two days ago, spent ALL NIGHT reading the entire comic,
then in the morning watched it all again.
They are amazing.
And even though they made me sad, because I realized that I feel very alone, often, I'm so glad that kids can now watch shows
like this and feel represented and hopefully loved regardless of their sexual orientation.
just finished watching heartstopper and it’s safe to say that this show has impacted me in ways i don’t even understand. i’ve been crying all day. so beautiful💗💗
Same here, it made me realize things 💖💜💙
Same!!
Same
Absolutely WRECKED me. It also made me painfully aware how lonely I am.. I’m 39, trans, came out at 14 and have never been loved. 😞💔
I love how they have Alice Oseman cameo in the train with the drawings behind, such a small but cool cameo
They missed their cameo 😔
We also can see her on the Instagram of Tara (I think) when she gets congratulations about her coming out.
The first time I watched this, I sobbed for hours afterwards. It brought up a lot of emotions around what I missed out on from being closeted so long. Since that viewing, I've grown utterly addicted to it. I've watched it 5 times, more than 100 CZcams videos, listened to the show's mixtape on repeat, and I've ordered all 10 of Alice's graphic novels. I saw another comment saying this show impacted them in ways they didn't imagine and that's the case with me too. It's such a special show and deserves all the love and praise it is receiving. ❤️🏳️🌈
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who was so affected by this show! I literally wake up every morning thinking about it. I wept the other day listening to the last two songs on the playlist. It is just amazing.
You are definitely not alone. I've rewatched it several times myself and just ordered the 4 heartstopper book yesterday.
I think this show broke us so we can find the pieces that’s been missing, it made me want to try and find someone to be happy with and now I’m about to cry 😭
Cant say I ordered the books, it’s not a possibility for me right, but today walking with my grandma I saw, what i assume is a bootleg, heart stopper coloring book in a street vendor and it made me so exited, I think I’ll go back and get it :)
100%
"Who shares a fish and chips, honestly?" - This will be answered in season two.
I was just about to comment on this. You can see the reason for it as well throughout Season 1 if you have read the comics. But yeah it's coming. I am looking forward to see how they tackle it in Season 2.
The fish, no. But the chips? Sure.
This show has lingered in my mind like no other movie or television series. Easily the healthiest media representation for young queers I've ever seen. No performative BS just for drama!, or weird story demands that are wholly unrealistic for the average person. Just damned good representation. It feels like a loving hug for the queer community.
"guys plural"
"alright, don't be greedy."
... you two perfect are perfect 🥰
When I was a kid, whenever my mom talked to me about "finding the right girl," she would always add "or boy," even though I always insisted I was straight. I thought it was weird AF that she thought I might be into guys. Then I got to college and started dating guys, and now I'm eating my words.
"I think the success of this show has been how unapologetically proud it is to be relentlessly hopeful and positive."
Simultaneously so glad you're watching the finale and so sad this is the end of seeing you two react to this series. Seriously has been one of the highlights of my life lately.
My feelings exactly! Looking forward to Season 2, but also looking forward to these guys reacting to it. They did a great job, not only their light-hearted playfulness, but also their serious keen insights. Bravo! 👏👏
As an older fan, I adore this show for its authenticity & it’s positivity. And as someone with two queer kids (14 & 19), I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for this show. Knowing that my kids are getting the opportunity to see this representation on screen & to see the overwhelming love & success that it is receiving has been immensely valuable for them. It’s all over social media in a positive way. Kids & adults - queer & straight - are talking about it & fanning over it still 2 months later. My 14 year old & her friends have had some wonderful conversations about the show. As for your videos… I always tease my kids for watching reaction videos, but I found yours & have thoroughly enjoyed your conversations! They’ve been thoughtful, insightful, & endearing, so much so that I told my youngest that I’d watch them again with her. Thanks!
Just love the progression of your reactions from the beginning to here. From the cynicism to wiping of tears on your ties lol
I've watched Heartstoppers 3 times already, and almost all the youtube reactions about it and i just can say that yours is on my top. With you two i smile, get angry, felt sad, joyfull and in the 24:40 we share those tears, those happy tears. I'm happy to find you guys.
Happy tears only 🥰
Same here. Really happy I found this channel! Like the show itself I’m going to watch your reactions more than once!
@@Zafkiel76 yes!! I have watched the show several times and their reactions to it several times as well! Love the show and them!
I totally agree!
GUYS NOW THAT HEARTSTOPPER IS OVER. YOU GUYS SHUD START YOUNG ROYALS SEASON 1. I SWEAR U'LL LOVE IT 🥺🤞
Don’t worry, this is happening 👀
@@AStoryWorthTelling I’ve been waiting for this!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@AStoryWorthTelling WAITINGGGGGGGG!!!! PLS START WITH YOUNG ROYALS COZ LOVE VICTOR 3 IS NOT GOOD💔
Alex: *losing his entire mind and rethinking entire existence*
Josh: *smiling and sipping water* mhm
Olivia actually forgot her lines during one of the takes of Nick coming out because Kit did such an amazing job of capturing that moment of coming out to a parent and not knowing what their reaction is going to be. Can’t wait for season 2 & 3!!!!! 🏳️🌈
This season was an emotional rollercoaster but watching nick and Charlie mature along the way was heaven for me and y’all’s reaction made it even better. Can’t wait for season 3 of love victor and hopefully season 2 and 3 of HEARTSTOPPER whenever it comes out. Ok well bye for now love ya! ❤❤
Pre production on season two and three of Heartstopper is in progress, but no idea of when filming will start. They are waiting for both Kit and Joe to finish all of their A Level exams, which by the end of June 2022 will be completed for them. So late summer could see a start to production. I have been told it is most likely that seasons two and three will be filmed as one production block, as Netflix feel it is better that way, especially if Joe or Kit change appearance over the next few years.
@@johnking5174 I really really hope they film both seasons in one go, though it makes me sad that the future book 5 will then be excluded.
@@darktwistedlady It has only been suggested by the production team that it will happen. I have not heard anything yet from them to say for certain. It was suggested, as they were worried that their stars might age quickly, as even now if you look at Kit and compare him to how he looks as Nick in season one, he has changed a bit.
@@darktwistedlady I thought you might like to know, I have heard from someone at SeeSaw Films who say production on the eight episode run of season two is now scheduled to commence on the week of Monday September 12th 2022. With more to be filmed in this season, including Paris, it looks like it will take around 12 weeks to complete which will take it up to just before Christmas 2022. He did not say if after Christmas season three will be shot.
Joe said in an interview that scene at the beginning where Charlie shares his feels and fears with his sister and cries at her shoulder was his fave to shoot. Totally get that. Such an emotional start to this last episode..
9:45 Really good insight there, about how “it’s all about Charlie.”
Right now, Charlie is the most vulnerable one in the group - hurting & suffering the most. Until those who are suffering the most amongst us are lifted up & validated, then EVERYONE around Charlie will continue to suffer as well.
Lol, it’s so funny going back and rewatching your first episode reaction and seeing you Pooh-Pooh the innocence of the show. 😏 Quite the lovely turn-around. Thanks for sharing this journey with us! Much love. 🥰 🌈
I’ve loved watching the journey the show has taken you both on. I can definitely relate to how sarcastic and dismissive you were about the first episode and honestly I think that mentality is a feature of our generation of the LGBTQ+ community for numerous and valid reasons. It’s been extremely cathartic to watch the show smash your cynical walls down over its run in much the same way it did to me. I don’t think I can understate the profound effect this series could have on our community. The joy and hope it instils feels somehow revolutionary after countless years of stories of queer trauma. Beautiful series. Here’s to season 2, queer joy and a boyfriend for Alex. 🫶🏻
Once I started Heartstopper, I had to watch it all the way through with my heart in my mouth, praying to whatever deity looks after fictional gay boys, "Please don't ruin it for them". We are so used to death and disaster stalking gay teens, I was convinced something would happen to break them apart. It was lovely to see them come through it all together.
Loved your reaction and I cried right along with you. I loved that they did an idealized version of coming out with Nick’s mom because I think all parents need to watch that scene. Then when your child tells you something integral about who they are- whether it’s about their gender identity or sexuality or what they want to do with their lives- whatever it is, that scene is a tutorial on how a parent should act.
I loved your reaction to the coming out scene!! Like it was the perfect example of a scene achieving to make the viewers feel exactly the emotions what it set out to provoke. You guys cried, laughed, melted at the same time, it was lovely to watch! It really is a great testament to how good the writing and the acting is!
I'm glad I met you searching for a heartstopper review, because I had not Idea about your channel, and I just loved all your comments about this show.
Don't forget, Tao explicitly stated "promise me that we will prioritize our friendship over everything else no matter what." And she agreed. That's got to weigh into Elle's decision as well.
And in this age, you still figuring out that there are more typs of love. How do you know what kind of love you have with your best friend?
I was in similar shoes in her age, but as I grew older, I figured out that I didn't love him, even though he is still one of the most important people in my life. I really feel safe with him, can be who I am and I'm always relaxed after meeting, writing or speaking with him...
But the feeling I felt when we cuddled wasn't romantic love and when we kissed it was excitement but not that kind of affection.
It's really hard to figure this stuff out.
Such great reactions. Thank you. You’re so right about this show being educational. Not just for young people questioning their sexuality. I’m a straight woman but I’m also a teacher of teenagers and this show helps me understand so much… I’ve always been an “ally” but this feels like a guidebook for how things can be positive and hopeful and how we can be supportive and kind friends, parents and peers. Love the show and really enjoy your insights!
Alex is a bit of a golden retriever as well, but in the best way possible! His positive reactions had me smiling and cracking up all throughout this season ❤️
seeing your reactions from being incredibly skeptical and not really into the show, up until the point where you guys were screaming, getting angry, being happy and crying with emotion was absolutely everything. this show means so much to me and so many people. i’m so glad you guys enjoyed, i loved seeing you go on this journey!
It's been delightful watching the two of you evolve from "ho hum" in the first episode to literal tears in the finale. Great reactions!
I'll admit, the coming out scene made me weep for like 20 minutes...It was so beautiful but at the same time it hurt a lot to see it being so perfect
I would never dream of defending Ben but Sebastian Croft’s portrayal of him is so good. You can see that he starts to tear up right after Charlie has finished yelling at him, he’s so full of self hatred. I don’t know that I want him to have a full redemption ark, but I hope they aren’t done with his character because I really love Sebastian’s portrayal.
Unfortunately Ben doesn't get a redemption in the comics, he does some pretty heinous shit further down the timeline
@@dw7896 I’m waiting for Solitaire to be available in my local bookstore but I’ve heard he’s pretty bad in it. I’ve read all 4 Heartstopper comics and Charlie and Nick and I don’t think he’s mentioned again in those ones. Why did they have to cast such a likeable actor for Ben?? lol
Also, im not sure if you realized but when nick & charlie were sitting on the train the person on the far right seat is actually the author of heartstopper!
I feel like such a news person on three of your videos I've said things that you might have missed or haven't heard about the show lmao
He said “you’re my favourite person I need you” 🥺🥺🥺
Alex's hair looks so shiny, can't get over it.
I love how he plays with his tie like it's his hair lol
That's a great way to put the success of the series and from the books, it's so brave to show happiness in a time when media is use to drama and so much unhappiness, the show doesn't run from the drama but it's courage to show a very healthy way to manage all the feelings and thoughts... amazing. The books and the history continue with this style even if it deals with very dark themes. Yes, I wish I had this history in my youth, but I'm so glad that exist now. Loved your reactions. Please do you ranking characters, I'm curious of where does Tao, Imogen, Ben and Harry will end in your thoughts... XD
watching you two quite literally melt into a puddle of nick and charlie stanning was the absolute best part of my day and honestly your reactions were just as good as the episode🤣🤣 i really hope you do this for seasons 2 and 3 as well!! your insights are really good and these videos are really enjoyable. loved this series!!!!
The thing is, when Nick comes out, you kind of always knew that if he did, his mom would be supportive, but, it’s just so scary to come out to your parents…like I KNEW she would be ok with it, she’s Olivia Coleman for gods sake, but I couldn’t help but be nervous for a second, cause, you know, it’s just so scary to come out!
Cis, hetero 40 yo here and my last week and a half have been consumed by this story. I started with binging the comics, then the show, then everything I could find about people talking about the show. I didn’t know I needed this in my life and now I feel fundamentally altered from having watched it. I’ve now made many other people in my life watch it, and I myself have watched it about 50 times. I found your videos through a Reddit comment and you guys have made me feel like I’ve just watched it for the first time. You guys are incredible, sweet, funny and I think I’ll literally watch tv shows just to watch your reactions to them. And cannot wait for s2 and 3!!
I've enjoyed your reactions for Heartstopper so much!! You're so much fun to watch really!! So glad you did a 180 on the show and ended up really liking it, it's a show that revels in queer happiness! The romance we all needed...I'm sure I'll watch more of your reactions in the future :)
I binged through your reactions to HS, and, honestly, Alex got himself eight therapy sessions for the cost of Netflix membership. :)
I have stayed up watching your reactions all night - you two are so pure hearted. I’m kind of obsessed. ❤️
Ahhhh the finale!! loved this series of lovely reactions from lovely people ✨ happy pride month everyone!! 🌈😊
Happy Pride Month!!! 🌈
My heart doesn’t even fit in my chest watching you both watch that scene with Olivia ❤️✨🥹
I love how you two went from skepticism in the first episode to getting SO emotionally invested as the season went on. I'm glad "Heartstopper" brought me to your CZcams channel. You're both terrific! I have thoroughly enjoyed how thoughtful and empathetic your reactions have been.
An enlightening series and an uplifting one. Your take on this whole series ,episode by episode has been wonderful. As an older gay man of 62 I can relate to the heartache of coming out, especially in my younger days when it was hidden behind closed doors. Thank you lads it has been a brilliant journey with you two. Xx
please please please watch the blooper from when Nick comes out to his mum. Olivia Coleman gets so overwhelmed by the scene that she forgets her lines!
The series has made me cry enough and you two just melt my heart even more 😭😭😭😭😭 send me help!!!! I've seen the series 5 times already! Thank you sooooo much for reviewing it ❤️ you guys are amazing....love love love
The whole season is so emotionally intelligent that I´d love to see it as a tool for learning or relearning about it.
Yesss! I absolutely LOVE the emotional maturity it models, and I'm so happy for young people of all genders & orientation to watch and hopefully learn something about healthy behaviour in relationships with friends & loved ones. 🥰
on 21:32 the person sitting on the train is actually Alice Oseman the author of the comics and the writter of the scripts!
I've enjoyed your reactions to all the episodes I can't wait to watch your next videos!
You guys should react to some of the Interviews and Bloopers, I think that would be fun!
fun fact : if u check on the scene where charlie is talking to ben on the 200 meter race, you can see that ben shed a tear, realising what he lost
And because Charlie's words about self-hate hit home.
Thank you Josh for getting teary at the end. It's nice when we can be something other than jaded and cynical. The show, as you guys put it, was unapologetically happy AND gay.
Your reaction to the Ben-Charlie reaction was everything. Everything! Also, the whole time I was like “kick him in the throat, Charlie!” 🤭🤭
I’ve been watching all heartstopper related content since the series came out and it’s fair to say that i will never get tired of this beautiful work of art. Great videos by the way!🥹
Can't wait for you two to react to season 2. Im very excited for season two... but honestly idk if I'm ready because the next few seasons cover serious topics- and I'm not sure if many people are ready for it but I guess we will see how they show such issues and topics. And the next show you should watch is young royals I believe you guys will like it.
They're so adorable and they're soulmates and they're so perfect for each other their love is so pure and precious I've never seen something like that
Exactly, "we need to see the hopeful happiness". I loved watching you watch Hearstopper. I wish we lived in a world where we didn't have to come out, but instead we could just be who we are and love who we love. As long as that isn't the case, we need things like Hearstopper to give people hopeful and happy representation, so that we can feel good in ourselves. And show the world the normality of queer life.
I just binge watched this entire reaction. You guys are absolutely hilarious and I am definitely sticking around to see more reactions. Gosh, why couldn't this show and channel be made a decade ago. I really needed something like this
Tao's eyebrow raise is one of the best comedic moments on television in 2022.
The various scenes in this finale put me to tears EVERY TIME! But the ONE thing I've wanted to say through the whole season, in anticipation to your reaction, is Nick's coming out, and Olivia's iconic line, "I'm sorry if I've ever made you feel you couldn't tell me that". Going back to her lines "don't worry, the right girl will come along..." and "you've always had a crush on Kiera Knightley..." it's amazing to have a line like that to show that we want society to be not only accepting, but less heteronormative. Nick's mum and Charlie's dad are refreshing supportive parents.
Til season 2!
So sad that it has come to an end but so happy that you started your Heartstopper reaction from being annoyed by their "HI"s from the start to crying and being happy for them towards the end. I will miss these Heartstopper reactions from you guys, it's one of the things I look for every week, you guys make me laugh and cry, you guys are funny Love you so much. Thanks so much and can't wait for your Love, Victor reactions xx
P. S
@At 21:29 you can see Alice Oseman, the author and creator of Heartstopper, drawing Nick and Charlie on her tablet.
Omg can you also watch the bloopers or the vlogs tobie put on CZcams? I think you would loooove them!!!
i love that all of us grown ups see Ben and are just like "well gonna throw hands with a 16 years old then" 🤣
Thank you guys for watching Heartstopper!! It was a joy to watch your reactions. If you take recommendations, I HIGHLY recommend the original SKAM, especially season 3. All 4 seasons are fantastic and connected, but season 3 will be up your alley for sure 😊😊😊
15:01 now i'm just waiting for the scene with charlie and harry in season 2 where charlie is as confident as he is in this scene with ben .
The ending music with nick and charlie hugging in the beach always gives me goosebumps... The OST in heartstopper is a masterpiece
This reaction was great, thank you for doing this series. I think the scene where Nick abandons the rugby game to talk to Charlie is beautiful partly because it mirrors and contrasts with scenes earlier in series where he had leave Charlie because of other people’s expectations of him or his own fears (like at Harry’s party). In the scene where he ditches the rugby game, Nick is also finally leaving behind other people’s expectations of him in order to fully prioritise Charlie, which really shows his character development.
One of the things I love about the beach date is how Nick, who is generally a disorganised disaster (see: doing his maths homework on the way to class), planned a whole day trip just to make Charlie feel special. The fact that he put such effort into their first proper date shows how he took to heart Tao’s advice about making it clear to Charlie how much he values their relationship.
Also: when I first watched the series, I thought the seagull animation and sound affect in episode 1 when Nick reads Charlie’s first text was a bit random, but then I realised it was actually foreshadowing their date in the finale.
I gotta say: Those Heartstopper videos that you two posted were absolute perfection!! They were so, so in depth and real. Not only did I watch Heartstopper several times, but also your reactions on it!!! I loved how you analysed each scene/ character/ demeanor.
I just love your energy together. You seem two have a great friendship. ♥️
I found your channel because of Heartstopper and can’t wait for your reactions on season 2 (which will hopefully won’t take too long to come out🤞🏾)
In the meantime, I’m gonna keep on watching season 1 and exploring your channel a bit more.
I don’t consider myself as queer but I’m an ally 😉🌈
Happy Pride Month 🏳️🌈 and much love from Germany
Danke for stopping by Sarrai. Really appreciate your support for the channel!!
53 year old father of a gay 19year old here. I absolutely LOVE this show. I have watched a number of these reaction CZcamss and I have to say, that I enjoyed yours the most. Insightful, honest, kind and funny. You have a new (older) fan !!
Mrs. Nelson's loving and accepting reaction to Nick's coming out is something I wish my parents had done.
and we hope that a lot of adults watch that part, with a "this is how I should act as a parent in the situation to make my kid feel safe" in their minds
That final episode made me cry with joy. I don't know how you boys didn't cry through it. I completely melted away when Nick makes his speech to Charlie in the corridor. The ending was filled with one adorable and sweet moment after another. Truly the blueprint for how young relationships SHOULD be. Gay or straight, young love between 2 people in school who truly care for one another is an important lesson. Nick talking with his mom made me so happy. Love WINS!! Thanks guys for your commentary and insight. You guys are wonderful. XOXOXOXOXO
I didn’t realize until until a week or so ago that when Nick and Charlie are on the train going to the beach, the lady at the right side of the screen is the writer Alice.
First, i´m from Germany, so sry for my bad english Xd
Second, I love your reactions, you guys are so funny and incredible.
Third, I don't know if you guys noticed, but in the train scene, Alice Oseman is sitting next to nick and charlie.
and last but not least, I look forward to seeing many more reaction videos from you both.
Greetings from Germany
Hey Chris! Thanks so much 🙌 Yeah we totally missed that it was Alice. Such a fun little cameo!!
Thank you for the playlist because I've already watched this through multiple times. You both make me laugh so hard that eating/drinking becomes hazardous.
Please keep doing these. The number of times you predicted something 15-60 seconds from when it actually occurs in the show just made me smile a lot.
Just keep being amazing.
I’m watching your reactions after having watched Heartstopper Season 1 & 2 more than once❤️. They’re hilarious and heartfelt. This show is relatable to so many people at any age. I relate to it as a 37 year old straight cis female. Love it! Wish the show was available when I was a teen.
I really loved watching your journeys with this series! Your reactions to the last two episodes were especially terrific, you both embodied what I and many others felt so viscerally. But I also largely really enjoyed how you broke down and discussed so many parts throughout it. Talking over the videos but also pausing too much can both take away really fast from things like this imo and I feel you walked the line perfectly and made it enjoyable to engage with. Thanks for sticking with this series and I’m glad you came to love it!
They definitely wrapped this one up well jic they didn’t get renewed, but there’s plenty more joy and difficulty to come! I hope people stick with the show through that, too.
Loved the reactions. It was so great to see how You changed from being sort of skeptic during the first episode to being absolutely invested in the show by the end of the season. I binged through Your reactions and the series more times than I can admit, and got to say, as a 38 year old single gay man...this show hit me in places I had no idea existed and encouraged me to try and break free from my shell that i've built around me when growing up in a homophobic country and whilst being bullied at school. Time for me to be more outgoing and meet some gays for friendship and maybe someday something more. Also if I can have a request at the end: Could You maybe react to Young Royals and new season of Love, Victor?
Both are coming soon 🙌 Thank you for sharing ❤️🌈
I think you nailed it, its unapologetic, and beyond unapologetically cute, it's unapologetically healthy. Two lovely main characters who deserve the world, like so many people do, not without complications, but still with resolve.
"WOW! SHE'S GONE! SHE'S GONE!!!" That killed me lol
Thanks Alex and Josh for taking us with you on that turbulent and emotional ride! Loved to see you become more and more invested and go through all the feels. My heart was so with you all the time. Also thanks for all your insightful and heartfelt words. Sending love from Germany 🧡
just binged watched all 8 videos - priceless, i love all of them
I have seen many reactions to this wonderful series and you two are brilliant. I have really enjoyed your thoughtful comments and your humour! Heartstopper doesn’t only appeal to the young but old gays like me. I went to a boys grammar school in the 60s when homosexuality was illegal . We didn’t get bullied because no one dared come out.! We just get falling for our straight friends. As Mr Agai said to Charlie you have to repress and suffer . How true ! I can identify with a lot of these characters. There was no support at all for gay teenagers and we all had to be in the closet! What a shame homophobia has still not been wiped out in the last 50 years. It is better but not there yet. Notice you had a few tears in the last episode , anyone who didn’t can’t have any heart at all . Oh to have found either a gay lad who was out or a lovely boy like Nick! The whole series was brilliantly acted by all, especially by Kit Connor and Joe Locke. Can not wait for the next series! Keep up the good work guys !
I’ll be honest, I started watching your first episode reaction of this series and I was so put off by how you were perceiving it that I turned it off 10 minutes in. Then I decided to go back in hopes you would change your mind about it. I’m so glad I did. You two really got invested and the insights you gave were really good. Probably the best reaction to this that I’ve watched. I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching more of your content ☺️
So… I only discovered this show back in February and honestly I’ve watched it well over 100 times. No shame. And then went and bought all the books. And now, I’ve discovered all the fan fiction!! I’ve fallen down that rabbit hole. So! If you’re looking for new things to hold you over until the season two release, look up Rugby Sweater Weather, When Both Our Fates Collide and Hi, I do! Those are just a few of my faves so far! Be warned though, some of the stories involve some detailed spicy moments. But I’m each of these stories, it’s the same Nick and Charlie meeting in different times of their lives in alternate realities. Because as the song that played in Ep. 6 with the verse “I’ll find you in any world” for people pumping out these stories and omg, they’re all so good!!
me encanta! tb obsesionada con los fan fiction, serie, libros, playlist,etc, etc
I've watched this reaction a few times and that squeal brings me joy
