If you've been craving a layered, heartfelt, sweet romance, Heartstopper is definitely the show for you — and if it doesn't make you feel some degree of happiness, you're probably dead inside.

Oseman’s work is undeniably sharp and “aww”-inducing, and it might be a challenge not to watch all eight episodes in one sitting. Luckily, though, the four hours will be time well spent.

A brilliant depiction of what feels like a less-explored topic. Representation was spot-on. Really loved how the series explored both the social injustices LGBTQ+ people face as well as show a realistic relationship between two gay people. Amazing show. Must watch.

la trama es muy buena además de que las actuaciones están muy bien hechas y el elenco esta muy bien escogido

So, it’s business as usual, but rather more besides. Heartstopper seems determined to grow up.

For all its penchant for sentimental navel-gazing and public information leaflets slipped none-too-subtly into the script, Heartstopper is that rare thing, a show that always has its heart in the right place.

Heartstopper is, quite winningly, not a show about panic or rashness or other dramatic swings. Its pacing is deliberate, its emotions awfully measured for a show about young people experiencing fits of passion.

Heartstopper is a genuine delight, and the perfect weekend watch to add some sunny jubilance to your summer afternoon.

Affectionate, blunt, caring, didactic, edgeless, flamboyant: Heartstopper runs the alphabet of adjectives, but never quite makes it all the way to good.

"Heartstopper" season three is the best yet! A great show on LGBTQ+ teen. Pure perfection. A spectacular ensemble of actors and stories.

This show excels in its representations of LGBTQ+ teens, something not quite seen yet in mainstream media. The portrayal of the 2 main characters Nick and Charlie are definitely stand-out performances. The supporting cast, while occasionally under-utilised, also give convincing enough performances but this show is let down massively by its writing and dialogue, which could be seen as intentionally awkward and sweet but is flat-out unwatchable at times, and sounds nothing like British Teenagers. However the show is incredibly heart-warming and its representations were very refreshing and educational. This show has potential to become one of the current generation's best if it develops its main characters to the level of Nick and Charlie, fixes its awful dialogue, and by simply becoming more complex in a potential second season.

sorry not sorry but i didn't like the show. the plot was poorly written and the lgbtqia+ representation was not-well-done. idea is good and the comics are okay, but the show isn't it.

this series only has a high rating due to the political and social context of the moment. i see absolutely nothing great here, it's boring, bland, frankly there's not much to review. this series is not breaking bad, it's not a masterpiece, chatgpt could have written something 100 times better. people are afraid to even voice an opinion and criticize something if it carries a lgbt flag. they fear being burned at the stake and accused of being homophobic. frankly, this series will be forgotten in a couple of months. series like breaking bad, twin peaks, etc. will not. that's the difference between a cult work and a product designed by algorithms. in short, it's nothing special. 2/10
