Autumn TV Finales - Heartstopper - Season One

Heartstopper is the latest Netflix series I have smashed whilst on extended Easter leave.

Continuing my Autumn TV Finales series, this season will see so many finales across network (US) and streaming services. May is the finale month, marked with so many season/series finales. However Heartstopper is a British coming-of-age romance series that the world needs right now.

Based on the webcomic and graphic novel of the same name by Alice Oseman, it stars Kit Connor and Joe Locke.

Telling the story of Charlie Spring, a gay schoolboy who falls in love with someone he sits next to in his new form, Nick Nelson, while also exploring the lives of Charlie and Nick's friends: Tao, Elle and Isaac.

Released on 22 April 2022 I did indeed smash this series. Whilst trying to catch up with other Netflix series Snowpiercer (Australia) and Elite's fifth season. Gosh its raunchy compared with this sweet teen series.


Ok well back to Heartstopper...

This could be the sweetest show on Netflix right now. The storyline is so wholesome whilst they also managed to get The Crown's own Olivia Colman as Sarah Nelson, Nick's mother.

I enjoyed all eight easy to consume (less than 30 minute) episodes. Whilst Netflix's subscription base is going down. It's shows like this that cut through. Yes Netflix is overloaded with rubbish, but in between some of the tacky Netflix original films is gold, like Heartstopper.

So do yourself a favour, put your feet up for eight episodes of young love, hope and feels. It's a VIBE!
