Your reaction videos are THE BEST I’ve seen! A note about Nick’s mom - I think it’s likely she said “you don’t have to say you like girls too” bc she’d said heteronormative things in the past and didn’t want him to feel pressured into saying he liked girls. She knows her baby ❤
Fun fact about when Tao hit Nick with the ball: apparently they said, that Will(Tao’s actor) threw the ball too strongly and Kit(Nick’s actor) had a headache the entire day due to how much it hurted him.
Something that gets missed a lot in this season is that Charlie didn't actually specifically avoid telling Tao, he actually didn't tell anyone, because by doing that he would have been outing nick. Nick is the one who tells Tara and Darcy, and then Elle. He has a right to come out to who he wants when he wants and Elle unfortunately did basically out him by telling Tao, and it ends up making it seem like Charlie told all his friends except Tao when that's not actually what happened.
Couple of things: 1 - Tori (Charlie’s sister) is the OG, she doesn’t get much screen time in season 1 but even then you can see she’s so supportive of Charlie and I LOVE HER 2 - Nick coming out to his mom breaks my heart EVERY SINGLE TIME, the way they did that was so delicate and heartwarming , I can’t 😭 And last: these reactions are giving me so much joy and happiness you don’t even know, I didn’t stop smiling for one second and at the end I cried with you like a BABY 😂 Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤
15:40 you clocked Harry's motivations so accurately I feel. And I agree Tao checks Harry better than Nick so I am all for Tao being the friend that Charlie deserves.
This show and these books are an amazing gift from the author. I hope you continue with seasons 2 and 3. They get better and more mature as they go. Just have the tissues handy. ❤
It's always such a joy to see a new person discover the sore cheek muscles, the burning tears, the ache in the chest from that strange mix of longing and contentment... Heartstopper is such a pure, positive HUG of a TV show. Th e writing so simple yet not simplistic (btw the train passenger sitting across the aisle on their beach date is Alice Oseman!) The clear and subtle direction. and the acting... no wonder both Joe and Kit were nominated for the Best Lead Actor Emmy (family and children's limited series). (Kit won by the way) Next Emmys could be fascinating since there is a very real chance that Joe might get nominated for Best Lead TWICE (and since Heartstopper and Agatha All Along are in different categories, he could make history by winning both) Not bad considering this was his very first professional gig!
15:12 - You know what's funny.... the actor who plays Harry is nothing like his character. A lot of the cast said he's one of the nicest guys on the show in real life lol. But that shows you that he's a pretty good actor, because I think all of us who watched this show hated Harry. Same with Ben! Super nice guys who are just good actors and know how to get under our skin.
seeing you react to this is what makes wanna finish this season and the show entirely. and trust we all feel the same about nick and charlie. those babies deserve the best.
I just love how much giddy this show makes me feel, i didnt get to have these experineces, i wasn't blessed enough to live somewhere where being on the queer spectrum is fine, but unlike other people, i dont bash this show, i revel in its wholesomeness, and just am happy to see the representation on screen 🤍
I've seen the nick coming out to his mom scene so many times and it still gets to me. My mom is incredibly supportive now but those first few days afterwards of nothing but pure silence were the hardest moments of my life.
I found out about this show only 3 weeks ago and i've been on a journey ever since. What an incredible show. I'm 34 and this brought me so much happiness, especially at a time like this, that i haven't felt in a long ass time.
Makes me sad that Kit conner (nick) couldn't experience the come out that nick nelson had in the show cause he was forced to out himself online.. 😢😢 people really suck.
Nicks coming out to his mum scene is one of my favourite scenes!! I'm not queer but her supporting is just so heartwarming and it makes me so sad that not everyones parents are supportive! I dont get it, just love your child for who they are, should be the easiest thing.....Heartstopper is one of my favourite shows EVER, i've seen all 3 seasons about 5 times now and i'm still smiling and crying and laughing because these characters and their personalities are so much of me and my friendgroup and that age! I'm a mix of Charlie and Darcy, my best friend is a mix of Elle and Imogen, another is like a mix of Tao and Isaac, and another is EXACTLY 99% Tao and the other 200% Imogen!🤣 And i knew someone who was just like Ben, she was the worst!
I don't know why everyone always acts like Tao is just being so wildly unreasonable when he's literally working with the information that he has. What he knows is that Nick is still friends with the people who bully him and his friends, and that Nick is either straight and stringing Charlie along or another Ben. Why wouldn't he be overprotective?
Agree with everything except he doesn't know about Ben. If he knew about Ben, he would be even more furious with Nick and worried about Charlie's judgement.
I've been in a relationship coming up 9 years next month...yet Heartstopper (Nick and Charlie espeacially) somehow manage to make me feel single AF lmfao 🙈😂😅
Omg your reactions to this show are just everything to me 😭😭 so real. Exactly my reactions when I first read the comics and then saw the show 🥹 and that scene with nick coming out to his mom is EVERYTHING. queen olivia coleman 💜
Just wanted to say… I connected with this movie for a multitude of reasons which you have elaborated on throughout this series. But, hearing you, an actual person living in my reality, relate with these characters and share your experiences which relate so much with my own, is so powerful. I just want to say thank you for your honesty and vulnerability ❤️
FYI if you really are craving more Tori, she's the main character of an earlier book, also by Alice Oseman, called _Solitaire._ Nick & Charlie are side characters in that book.
I just found your channel, and I love your fun, energetic personality. This show is amazing, and I'm so glad you watched it and enjoyed it! I can't wait to check out more of your channel!
This was, again, just stellar. I especially appreciate that, while you don't hold back your commentary, you never speak over critical dialog, so we're never disappointed that you missed an iconic moment (of which there are tons). IMO Nick's lament at 41:40 (starting with "But you shouldn't have to be!") is a very underrated moment. It's the surfacing of horrific emotional pain and it shows in his face: he's both enraged at the normalization of bullying _and_ he's in near-intolerable anguish from knowing that his beloved Charlie has chosen to endure it. The scene still breaks me and I've watched it ~100 times. I'm pretty jealous that you get to finish Season 1 and dive right into Season 2, rather than wait A YEAR AND A HALF like the rest of us had to! Enjoy.
About your cheer at 17:25: You'll be interested to know that Kit has the lead in an upcoming film called _One of Us,_ to be released sometime in 2025. (It doesn't appear to be about bisexuality though.)
Maya, I need to sincerely thank you for putting me on to this show 💜 after watching your season 1 reactions, I went back and watched the full season myself, and have just finished season 2. I am seriously in love with this show, and am so happy I found out about it!! Can't wait to watch your season 2 and 3 reactions
Omg is it too early to say that this is my favorite reaction to Hearstopper Season 1 so far, you listened emphatize to each character, and genuinely connected to a show that is so important to our community and also genuinely very funny and feel so much good vibes just listening to you. I'm so excited for season 2!!!!! Please don't make us wait so long T_T
My mom still doesn’t believe me when I tell her I’m bi … lol I gave up honestly. I’m just making sure whatever my kid’s come out as that I’m supportive
Man I always said I'd never be this person... but tbh I've had a shit day. Guy I've been talking to ghosted me along with some other personal stuff. Been really trying to practice positivity in my life recently and not victimize myself, but yeah... shitty day. Watching this video and laughing along with your reactions has really helped. So for what it's worth, thanks...
Even tho people say this show is cringy, we need a show that isn‘t all about drama and death, even tho it has a lot of drama in it. I wish i had that show when i was their age bc it would‘ve helped me so much and made me feel less alone. Always love your reactions, been following you for years now and you always put a smile on my face even when i‘m feeling really down so thank you for that❤️🥺
Also i have to say, i haven‘t subscribed to anyones patreon but yours, you‘re literally my comfort person and i just love watching you react to stuff❤️
@@starrr365 what i just said. Cheesy isn‘t a bad thing. Not everything has to be depressing. In a good case, your first love should feel like this. People just don‘t seem to like seeing it on tv for whatever reason.
Waiting for season 2 here!! me as bissexual always gets me too his coming out, bc still didn't said nothing about my sexuality and warms so much my heart seeing him being received with opem arms (is just sad that Kit, Nick's actor, didn't have the chance to come out in his own terms bc of the same ppl that watched the show, I'm still sorry for him in this situation, and in season 2 is so clear that message about being out on it's own terms bc if that sad fact)
Its just crazy how much happynes a tv show can make you feel ! This show is just magic ❤❤ I really like your reaction and genuine emotions. Thanks for sharing with us ! See you at season 2 ! Lovely Greetings
I came out right before my junior year of high school back in 2008, and I went to a catholic school. I was the only out gay person & lowkey I kinda became a bully lmao so no one really bothered me. Surprisingly, my school was actually hella cool about it and let me bring my boyfriends to the school dances.
Remember Charlie was saying in the first episode a guy is like being with me and now nick is saying i like being with you and best line ever fighting is not the answer and Elle was so wrong, nick was telling about him and Charlie not Charlie so Tao is a little idiot
@@KioshiWarrior Be careful. YR is a good show that has been heavily compared to Heartstopper, but other than being about two gay high school boys and their various torments & catharses, it's not actually that similar. YR also has a LOT more repugnant characters in it, so watching it immediately after HS may not be the best idea. Do check it out eventually though. Also, watch it in the original Swedish with subtitles. The dubbed-English version -- even though it's admirably voiced by the same Swedish actors! -- is not a good experience.
This show holds a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to continue! The unedited version is on my Patreon as well, thank you for watching! 🤍🤍🤍
OMG THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤ CANT WAIT FOR PART 3!!!!
Yay!!! I'm so excited for more ❤❤❤
HUNTERXHUNTER IS FINNA BE EVERYTHINGG🔥🔥 love Heartstopper as well!
i feel the same!
Your reaction videos are THE BEST I’ve seen!

Its so funny to me how Harry gets cleared by Tao every time and yet keeps coming back for more
its giving obsessed, its giving secretly likes it
alexa play obsessed by mariah carey, honestly
Same energy as Myrtle bullying Lilo but gets her ass kicked everytime and she keeps coming back for more😂
Real like bro needs to give up
Fun fact about when Tao hit Nick with the ball: apparently they said, that Will(Tao’s actor) threw the ball too strongly and Kit(Nick’s actor) had a headache the entire day due to how much it hurted him.
That coming out scene w Nick is so healing ugh. EVERY CHILD DESERVES THAT.

I SQUEALED WHEN I SAW THIS GOT RELEASED, I LOVE HEARTSTOPPER SM
real housewives edition 😭😭
15:40 you clocked Harry's motivations so accurately I feel. And I agree Tao checks Harry better than Nick so I am all for Tao being the friend that Charlie deserves.
As someone who was brought up in a VERY CHRISTIAN HOUSE I can say this healed the little bisexual kid in me a lot was so needed❤️💙💜🥹

"c'mon bob" LMAO
Love how they teased the beach scene in the end of Episode 1 when nick looks out the window smiling and seagull animations pop up.
I've seen the nick coming out to his mom scene so many times and it still gets to me. My mom is incredibly supportive now but those first few days afterwards of nothing but pure silence were the hardest moments of my life.

Maya not liking Bubblegum milkshake broke my heart
Guess she’s a Heartbreaker watching Heartstopper😭😂
The sobbing at the end is so real
omg i haven't enjoyed a reaction this much in a while. i've felt everything like it was the first time bc of kioshi's energy and emotions
Makes me sad that Kit conner (nick) couldn't experience the come out that nick nelson had in the show cause he was forced to out himself online.. 😢😢 people really suck.
I just found that out and it broke my heart smh no one should have to experience that, famous or not, it’s no one’s business.
@KioshiWarrior exactly
Nicks coming out to his mum scene is one of my favourite scenes!! I'm not queer but her supporting is just so heartwarming and it makes me so sad that not everyones parents are supportive!

“ONE OF US!!!!” took me outtttt
Example #1 of why Nick is not like Ben: episode 6: Nick tells Three people that Charlie and Him are going out then in Episode 8 Nick tells his mom.
U singing dig into that ahh is becoming my favorite KioshiWarrior meme ever 😂😂 Much love sis 🩷
I literally came out to my new colleagues after they were trashing bi-men and it was the weirdest feeling in the world
Good for you boo!

I don't know why everyone always acts like Tao is just being so wildly unreasonable when he's literally working with the information that he has.

I have never laughed this much during heart stopper reaction!! can't wait for season 2 reaction

Your reactions were so similar to mine. I was so giddy this season. Tears, giggles, shrieks.
These cuts make it look so much more funny, and I'm so much more aware of their accents bc you're American (I'm British) 🤣😭😭😭😭
FYI if you really are craving more Tori, she's the main character of an earlier book, also by Alice Oseman, called _Solitaire._ Nick & Charlie are side characters in that book.
OMGGG ELTS GPOOOOO.... You saying you are so happy with a face full of tears is so real. I cried so hard too, the actors are so great.
I just found your channel, and I love your fun, energetic personality. This show is amazing, and I'm so glad you watched it and enjoyed it! I can't wait to check out more of your channel!
My reaction was the same! I love this show SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for not making us wait a month for this follow-up 🙂↕️ rewatching alongside you makes me want to watch the new season
Yes! This is the exact same amount of joy and happiness and giddiness that I feel when I watch!
YES. ABSOLUTELY.
Someone saying the way tao was acting was childish.. baby, they are children lol 14-15 and 15-16 lol they are children.
Right 😂

watch young royals if you haven’t already!!
Ooooo what’s that?!?
@@KioshiWarrior Be careful. YR is a good show that has been heavily compared to Heartstopper, but other than being about two gay high school boys and their various torments & catharses, it's not actually that similar. YR also has a LOT more repugnant characters in it, so watching it immediately after HS may not be the best idea. Do check it out eventually though. Also, watch it in the original Swedish with subtitles. The dubbed-English version -- even though it's admirably voiced by the same Swedish actors! -- is not a good experience.
This show (especially this first season) helped heal the hurt and broken 14yo baby gay in my heart ❤️🩹
