I'm surprised nobody has brought up the fact that in the comics, Nick actually has three close friends from "the lads" (Christian, Otis and Sai) that are supportive, and pick up on his crush on Charlie very early on. In the show, Charlie mentioned that "some of the rugby boys are nice" but that was never really expanded, and they made it be that Nick felt completely alone in his friend group. I think having had included the three supportive straight lads would have added depth and not made all "stereotypical rugby lads" the antagonists

Absolutely. I'm turning 45 in a few weeks and this show has warmed my heart so much. It's just exhausting to see show after show, movie after movie, with LGBTQ+ characters putting a large emphasis on the problems and drama we can encounter in our daily lives, sometimes to the point that it almost feels like exploitation. But to see how Heartstopper portrays the lives of LGBTQ+ teenagers is heartwarming and I wish I could've had a show like that on TV when I was a closeted teenager in the 90's. It could've given me more hope and made me feel less like an outcast. I also didn't have a group of LBTQ+ friends (or even a single one), so to see that portrayed here is just heartwarming. I truly hope that more teenagers have this saftey net, or will have a safety net, with his positive representation of our demographic. And I hope the response this show is getting will result in more positive representation from now on, instead of all the drama and misery fictional LGBTQ+ characters are submitted to.

I only feel bad that Chris, Otis, and Sai didn’t really get any screen time because I feel like they do contribute something pretty significant to nick’s life (and they were casted to look perfectly like their comic counterparts). The fact that they called Nick’s crush before Charlie’s friends even called his _means_ something. Charlie saying “some of the rugby boys are nice” and not seeing them be nice to him or interacting with him made brought me out of it. Nick pointing out that they still just stood there made since within how it played out in the show but in season two, they’re going to have to establish those three for the conversation about how they bystander bullying or it’s going to make it feel like Nick is completely isolated from the team despite getting promoted to captain. Nick hasn’t gotten to be himself but he does have people that would except him that aren’t Charlie’s friends. I think the only other thing I didn’t necessarily jive with was making Charlie a bit worse at Rugby and making it harder for him to improve and not showing that Charlie _did_ fit in with the rugby boys - just not the ones that were active bullies. Charlie’s school life and social surroundings are so nuanced and I liked that there was care to mention that _most_ students liked Charlie and he could integrate himself into other settings if it weren’t for the intensity of his anxiety

Something that hadn’t been in the books was the fact that Mr Ajayi shouldn’t have been at Truham at all, he is the Higg's Art teacher who we meet at the Paris trip arc. The only main use of him is that he has a side plot in some extra stories with the Truham Physics teacher Mr Farouk. Also, Ben Hope was never actually in Nick's friend group, Nick only knew of him and thought him to be a bad person. Ben actually has a much larger presence in the series, as he basically drops out of the story after the confrontation at Harry's party. I think this was used to show how Charlie grew as a person, so it’s understandable but it is a difference. Finally, as obvious as it is, they couldn’t probably get the perfect actors with the perfect looks, so here are all the characters and their differences in looks! : Charlie Spring: Joe is an amazing actor and was perfect for Charlie in most ways, however Charlie originally had light blue eyes and tanned skin as oppose to stormy grey blue eyes and pale skin. Nick Nelson: I love Kit but there are a few differences in the looks even if the general character is there; Nick had dirty blond messy hair instead of Kit's ginger and well combed hair, as well as being portrayed to being larger than most others, while in the show he is bulkier but not particularly tall. Tao Xu: Tao DID wear his beanie often, if I’m remembering right BUT his hair was cut short of the sides instead of swoopy and William is very tall while Tao is the smallest of the friend group. Elle Argent: Elle is very accurate with the only real difference being her hair isn’t quite curly, it’s way in the comics. Of course, Yazmin is gorgeous and still very fitting, so Elle was still her amazing self. Tara Jones and Darcy Olsson: Corinna and Kizzy are spot on, I can’t say anything here! Love them too ofc! Tori Spring: very similar, Jenny is so good at acting but Tori is the same as Charlie in having a tan skintone This was a well put together video though, I’m happy about this! Edit: spelling!

The slow burn, low stakes environment is not something im used to in shows, but it works so well in building tension! Although one idea I had, was if they had actually added in Oliver, they could have used him as a parallel for Charlie, showing how Charlie could have acted before he came out/how people treated him before he came out. For example, we could see Charlie babysitting his little brother and his friends; observing how pre-adolescents children handle love and relationships (his little brother’s friends also paralleling with Charlie’s), and maybe have some type of flashback? It would help to build the plot around Charlie, because the main way we learn more about him in the show is literally though gossip between the characters, and while that’s a good plot device, we’re forced to kind of imagine how it was for him? Because the one thing they say is “Charlie was bullied last year”, which I think we need to know more about. I’m also hyped for season two: [spoilers: expectations I want to see, which are derived from the graphic novel] I wanna see Issac potentially showing ace/aro representation, maybe touching on Charlie’s eating disorder and Paris trip!!!

In my opinion, telling Tao (and Charlie's reasoning for not telling him) is a big part of the book 3 plot so I'm interested to see what they'll come up with

Tao grew out his hair to show support to Elle, but styled it like that so he doesn't get dress-coded.

Must admit though I really enjoyed the fact it didn’t have too much drama and things were resolved quickly. Refreshing change and made it much more fun.

One thing I still haven't seen mentioned is the way in which Tao found out that Charlie and Nick were dating. In the comics, Charlie told him himself in person, and expressed that he wanted to tell him and appreciated his protectiveness, but that made it more difficult. In the book they completely changed it, and let someone else tell Tao (I think it was Elle). I wish they kept that to the original comics as otherwise it can give off the wrong impression and caused tension between him and Charlie for no reason. Though, having watched this video, I can guess they might have deliberately changed it for the added drama.

I'm really glad the show is so fluffy and reasonable. When they're a little older perhaps, the eleven- and twelve-year-olds can go read the comics and see everything through a more serious lens, but still be able to appreciate the loveliness that comes with the difficulty. Great video!

I think that making the show watchable by young teen, it's the best move that the production could do. This show should be watched in school by 11/12 year old teens.

I’m glad they get the show fleshed out more. I read the comics after watching the show and saw how much more time went to the other characters, e.g. the music recital, the rugby/sports day match, and the outside fight with Harry. and how Tao knowing Charlie is with Nick is already something they got out the way in this season. I want to see more Harry tbh, there’s an interesting few times he turns up later in the comics and suddenly acts differently to how we know him. That needs an explanation...

PSA for the HEARTSTOPPER fandom: The season 2 & 3 renewal means books 3 & 4 out of 5 are going to be a adapted and by the time the 5th book releases next year there is a very high chance it will be adapted meaning we are going to get to see the full story come to life

Also, he came out to his mom in the exact same way.... something tells me you guys didn't really check the books to cross reference. Season 1 covers Volume 1 and 2. It wasn't changed. The tv show ended where volume 2 ends.....

i already know the differences but i’ll watch this anyway because i need more heartstopper content

I love the decision to be tween friendly. Restraint in content lets the tone of a show be much more controlled.

This is just making me want the books even more

I hope they do something with Isaac's character because he basically had no story arc or speaking lines. He was mostly just there.

I really liked Tao's hair, I think it was noticeable and original

I think it could be in case Radio Silence also gets optioned for TV. A young actor will age noticably in the time it takes to get another show turned around, and they would probably have to be recast anyway, so it makes sense to create a new character to fill his narrative role.

I personally didn’t enjoy the show a lot, but it’s probably just because I’m more of a fan of the style of the novel. Plus I find it a lot easier to take in at my own pace

usually when books are turned into movies or shows i’m like- oh my gosh whyyyyy! it’s so different what happened to that character but with heartstopper, the changes aren’t bad ya all. and i really like what they did with the tv show!

It's great that Alice thought of younger kids but as a 12 Yr old my self I think swearing is fine for me personally.

5:18 also can we also mention in the graphic novels, mr ajayi works at higgs

The reason Aled was omitted is that he has a complex plot line in another one of Alice's books "Radio Silence" which Alice thought would be hard to incorporate in the show

Heres some more changes/diffrences form the comic to ghe adaption. There's also the lack of nicks 3 friends that talk about his and Charlie's relationship. I assume they were left out for time. I just think they were super good use to show that not all the rugby lads weren't all bad. They also added the whole game scene where they played the sports school. The whole sports day was added and the whole finding out the nick and Charlie are together dsoent happen in the show yet. It happens later in the comics. The crane game sene happens on a table in the comics. The beach scene hapens right after the theater scene in the books. There's a small refence to Nick's older brother during the coming out scene they skipped.( I assumed in case they wanted to omit the brother/didn't have him casted or just didn't want to have way too many open wholes for a character that dosent in the show that season) ben actually dosent show up that much I nthe comics either. The whole outcast thing is diffrent in the comics. Charlie becomes quite popular after the bullying stopped when some upper levle students got people to stop by defending him. Most scenes with Tara and Darcy are not in the comic. Including the locked in the music closet scene and the "triple date" scene too. That's all I can think of. Side note Alice also mentioned in a recent ama on Instagram that another reason she changed Aled out was because of his story. There wouldn't have been enough time for his story to be fully explored so she thought up of a new character that will have a more sutued juerny with the direction of the live action adaption.

The music room scene did happen in the comics, it was a side comic that I think they added on to focus a bit more on queer woman struggles, which of course is great!

The reason why in the show Nick comes out to his mum in season one is because each season will be about two books, so for season two it will be about volume three and four. I love heartstopper so! xxxxxx

omg, NASA "objected to the opinion"... it's sad how equity is still considered an opinion today

I never felt any disappointment from this show whatsoever or even from the book itself. Like i know there are some parts that are changed but it’s still great. I don’t feel any different feeling. Im still crying while reading or even watching the show

enough with the “tay-o” 😭😭 it’s taooooooooo 😭😭😭

i really like the fact that they had a lot of the lines in the show exactly like the book. never seen that before haha

For vacation I went to London and volume 3 was sold out in every store. We called the biggest book store in London and they said it was no where in any store. We went to one store and asked and they didn’t have it. We casually walked trow the store and saw one on dislapy. And the (thank god) said we could buy it.

Even though I LOVE this series, like wholeheartedly, i was kind of surprised when I saw Charlie having a lighter skin tone than the comics. As I'm so in love with the story I bought and got all the exclusive and pre-sale comic/prints/postal cards, and in all of them Charlie's skin is more on the tan side. Not pointing as an error, i LOVE Joe Locke, but it made me gasp a little 😂😂

Better than getting out the spray tan?

Don't forget the fact that in the show Tao learns about Nick and Charlie being together before the trip in Paris, when in the comics Tao learned about them during the trip.

i remember first watching this and was sitting there like “where’s Aled? who’s this girl? “WHERES OLIVER😭😭😭”

Tao did have a hat in the graphic novel, not as often, but it was a big part of his character (having a lot of hats) which I learned from the Q n A in the Heartstopper Tapas edition.

I NEED A SEASON 2!!

The writing, acting, music/soundtrack - I mean all of it was just SUPERB and that’s so rare. I want season 2!!

tay-oh. 💀

I haven't read the book but have watched the series couple of time and fell in love with it the first time. When it comes to first love and coming of age it's sad that they didn't have them around when I was younger. I hope there is a second series coming out because there were some unleft questions.

I really wish that live-action/tv adaptations of manga/anime would know how to adapt their stories to be more realistic for TV like Alice did with heartstopper. She is right, some things in comics just don’t work for TV. I find that most Japanese tv adaptations are sad/cringe to watch because of how unrealistic they are. (eyes “my love mix-up”.

hmm I guess that makes sense but I personally think Hearstopper got a few things wrong too as there were some scenes missing and some scenes that didn't necessary need to be added. I have watched a lot of Thai Bl series and there are some that have been really great and others not so much. I haven't seen many Japanese live action series though.

@@dreamersball1003 Yeah that's true that the comic creator being involved can't make the show wrong. But what I meant it comes of rushed and a few other flaws so there are mistakes the show has made. Also, sometimes when adapting a comic or book to a TV show there needs to be people who understand TV series and how to adapt them. The writer being the scriptwriter for the show is great but someone else should have also helped them/ her is what I feel is necessary. Also, I personally felt the number of episodes they were given just felt too little to really tell this story. Nevertheless still a great story but I was expecting a very different TV series. Since after watching Young Royals, which is also on Netflix, I had very high expectations for Heartstopper as I love the comic a lot. So was hoping to see a similar delivery of the storyline but both are different types of stories so hence the differences. PS: I hope what I said makes sense and I don't mean any bad intentions towards the writers, staff or anyone else just wanting the show to be the best it can be for our lgbt+ audiences.

i love how she says Tao 😭😭

Tao does wear the beanie in the books! People were talking about the little flip in his hair not the fact that he was wearing a hat lol

Why can no one on these things pronounce Tao? They say his name enough!

I think it's kind of awful that they couldn't keep the swearing but could keep the homophobic slur. Kind of messed up that swearing is considered less family friendly than slurs.

Question for people who have read the comics When you watching the show do you still get the excited feeling when big moments come like they kiss or when they have a fight or whatever? I want to read the comics but I really like the show and I don’t want to not be excited when scenes like that come up. So yeah that’s my question

LOVE THISSS

I think for me the biggest thing I noticed was the swearing. The swearing was my favorite part so I’m upset it got deleted. The swearing bought much more emotion to the characters feelings, also not to mention the fact that a lot of teenagers swear. I’m 13, and seeing the swearing on the show is the far from the worst thing i have seen on the internet, and In real life too. Also seeing it wouldn’t make me run around swearing or something. Maybe I am just mature enough to know it’s not right, but it really was my favorite part and I’m sad it wasn’t included. What could also help is bring up the maturity rating to pg-13 or even Tv-14, and letting parents decide if it’s appropriate for their child to be watching the show. I’m also speaking for other fans aswell when I say that we really loved the swearing for the emotion it brought. I’m really upset it didn’t get on the show, but hopefully some of the directors see my comment and change their mind because I promise you swearing could bring so much more emotion.

I love that the show was soo good and accurate that one point on the list was charlie's wallpaper.

“Tay- o soo” I’m ded XD

Actually in the books Tao often has a hat on except for the occasional teacher telling him to take it off.

We now have both forever

The changes are there, but slightly not noticeable due to the character portrayal of the actors. I think that Tao's accidental outing of Charlie should have been touched on a bit more. The scene where Nick understands the bullying Charlie went through was more intense and I am glad that it is touched on. I really related to that part of Charlie's life. For me, it not only happened in school but as an adult as well.

I feel like they didn't need to add Imogen, she is nice and all, but if the idea was to give Nick a friend "who isn't one of the lads" then why does he end up simply hanging out with Charlie's group of friend? They didn't expand of Nick's friend at all.

Its interesting this show is "ment" for a "younger" demographic cus I feel its hitting more with the older LGBTQ+ adults im 28 and loved the show every moment reminded me of what I or any other bi or gay person went thru in school. All the reactions i have seen are of older gay men 22-30 and all of them had the same emotional reaction as I did at the key points such as the first kiss, the feeling relatable, the coming out to mom scene. I dont think a "tween" 12, 13 year old is really gunna feel the same emotions cus they havent lived it yet.....like yes they will feel good being represented but I feel to them it could just be another show on Netflix. To use I feel it has more sentiment and value hense loving and feeling emotional.

My notes on the time line book to show is the books 1 & 2 are season 1 because season 1 ends same ish place as book 2

i hope the paris trip is coming along w season 2 cuz in a sense it plays along well with the way that Alice arranged it for the tv series

They actually took some lines out of the books, like the he’s in year 11 when Charlie was told to sit next to nick and also the exploding pen scene

What is the song in the background please.
