Have any of the Little Heartsobbers here had any succes pinpointing what exactly the sadness is about (and what helps)?

Also: which scenes hit you the hardest?
For me it's between
the "you look so cuddly"-hug, the CHVRCHES-scene at the party, "Charlie's a really special friend isn't he?", the first kiss and Nick standing in the rain in front of Charlie's door afterwards.
Going by my response just typing this the hug and 'special friend' scene win though.

When Charlie tells Nick the bullying is ok he's used to it, and Nick says "you shouldn't have to be! You shouldn't have to put up with anything like that!" He always looks like he's about to burst into tears with love for Charlie.

Yeh, I did notice that. I wonder why it isn't connecting over there. The accents, some of the terminology?
I haven't looked into it, but I'm curious how Young Royals did over there... and stuff like Elite/Sex Education.

The preview we get in the US when you stop on the title (don't know if it's the same everywhere?) is the scene where the sister is asking Charile about breaking up with his boyfriend "was he a knob?" It's like a generic scene from any show and I almost passed on it because of that.

Not good. My guess is they wouldn't want to show anything too 'gay' but they really should go for the scene where Charlie is apologising for kissing Nick and Nick has to shut him up by kissing him.

Just talked to someone whose (gay) kids are both basically having real life Heartstopper experiences of puppy love (calling their little sleepovers 'cute' and everything!!) and it's so nice this actually happens to 13/15 year old kids these days but hearing it also had the same effect on me as the show.
Obviously I'm sobbing again but I kinda prefer that to the past 48 hours of 'avoiding triggers' which just led to a whole lot of tension/being nauseous/fainting. Even though I was well aware that stemmed from repressed feelings and I was like 'I'm okay feeling sad, can the emotion just come already?' (putting more pressure on myself which obviously did not improve matters) I guess I actually just need Heartstopper (or stories like this) to feel them out. Clearly I've had better weeks but overall I still feel that all that's happening right now will probably turn out to be really helpful?

This was very cute. I was surprised that it hadn’t already been renewed considering how many interactions the social media posts get. However, for a new Netflix show the numbers aren’t huge.

I wonder if they’re waiting to see if it has staying power.

14.5m hours viewed weekend 1
23.9m hours viewed full week 2

for comparison, if it was released in the third week of March, these numbers wouldn’t be enough for top 10.

I think the fact that each episode is half the length of normal dramas would make an impact here. Netflix will be overjoyed with this show. It won't have cost the earth and is giving them so much back with social media.

Yeh they love the social media attention. I was just pointing it out because Netflix have been a bit more ruthless recently than they used to be.

It’s still #3 this week in the UK so it clearly has legs.

Every single time I rewatch this, this is all I think about in episode 3:



Nick said 4 lines to her (“I can’t dance”, “Sorry, I have to go, I was just looking for someone”, “what?” “Okay, um…I have to go find my friend.”), makes a laugh face at her embarrassing dancing and the girl still turns around to her friends like she did something.

Oh to be awkward and in high school.
