You're correct that they toned down the language for the show. From what I understand, that was actually a decision by Alice (who wrote the entire show too) and the other show runners, not Netflix. Bc the core of the story is a wholesome romance, they wanted it to not get age restricted so that as many kids and young teens as possible could watch it with their family and friends. As much as I miss the punch of Nick's language when he chews out Harry at the party, I think it was a smart decision to make the show super accessible.

I was not familiar with “Heartstopper“ in any form until the TV show, and then I found the web comics online and read through all of them after I had watched the entire show. It’s sadly true that not only did something like this not exist when I was a teenager, but I don’t think these books would have been published then. For one thing, graphic novels didn’t exist then, but even if they had, I think this would’ve been considered inappropriate because of the attitude toward homosexuality in the world in general. And I do think the adaptation is wonderful, and I also like the changes that were made in order to go into more depth on the other characters in addition to Charlie and Nick. In addition to “Young Royals,” three other shows I would recommend that deal with LGBTQ+ characters are “Love, Victor” from the US, “Bad Buddy” from Thailand (available with subtitles on KZitem), and especially “Skam” from Norway (available with subtitles on dailymotion, and maybe other places as well), with particular emphasis on its third season. They all have differences from and resonances with “Heartstopper.”

I immediately went online and read every bit of Heartstopper there was after I finished the finale episode. Had no idea this even existed, and now I can't imagine not having it in my life. It's. Just. So. Good. Alice Oseman is brilliant. Absolutely love your reaction videos to both the show and the books! Definitely a lot of similar feelings (and I'm also obsessed now!).

I read the first two out the four because I heard that the series’ first season covered those two. I want to wait on 3 and 4 because I want to experience them ( 🤞 ) then expand with the graphic novels to maybe get a little more. I think they did a great job adapting the series from the graphic novels so faithfully. While there were a few changes and additions, the core, the heart of the story was maintained. Also, while it is Nick and Charlie’s story we’re following, I enjoyed that they gave us more of the supporting cast of friends and giving them moments to shine and expand from what was given in the graphic novels, well, the first two volumes the show is adapted from. I DO hope Netflix renews this series, AND keep Alice Oseman’s involvement intact. I wished this was something I could have read when I was a teen. The sentiment might have been similar to yours, but it might have given me something to look forward to. Heartstopper is an aspirational and inspirational romance that is sweet but doesn’t shy away from serious topics such as consent, bullying, self-esteem, and most importantly, LOVE, something that wasn’t so widely accepted or appreciated then and still, sadly, has a ways to go, especially where I live that is entrenched in Catholic/Christian guilt and all that’s lumped with that. It’s a bitter-sweet series/graphic novels that makes me so upset how long I hated myself for my feelings and how my mother forced me back in the closet because “god wouldn’t love me like that.” So much emotional damage when all I wanted was love and love in return. Anywho, I can’t wait to see what happens next, but I want to experience it in live-action, and later, expand upon it on page. Best of luck moving 😊

So like you, I watched the TV show first then read Volumes 1 and 2! I didn't know the graphic novels existed until I watched the show. I go back and forth about whether I'm jealous that I didn't read the graphic novels before watching the show! I've watched some KZitem reactors who read the graphic novels first and seeing them get so excited to see these characters come to life on screen in live action was so wonderful. Now on the flip side, I'm glad I didn't reach the graphic novels first because throughout the whole season of the TV show there were moments where I thought I knew exactly what direction things were headed in and what would happen next. I was so happy to be wrong so many times. If I had read the graphic novels already, I would have been robbed of the experience of being surprised and not knowing what was going to happen next! So for that reason (we'll see if I can last a year), I'm going to not read Volumes 3 or 4 until Season 2 airs next year! I really enjoy the not knowing! With that said, Season 2 is a full year away. So we'll see if I'm strong enough to resist reading Volumes 3 and 4!

My Favorite Book To Screen scene is where Charlie chases after Nick in the Rain... its really a mirror copy of the scene in the book. If you want some good queer literature my favorite Author is TJ Klune If you want queer Werewolves - Wolfsong is for you (Then read all of the Greencreek series) If you want be transported to a night out with your friends at a gay bar - Tell Me Its Real If you want queer Super Hero's - The Extrodinaries are for you If you want something a bit more deep either Under the Whispering Door or The House in the Cerulean Sea All of them are written in a bit a different voice but its always fun to see how TJ brings his characters to life.
