Eliana Dockterman TIME Magazine 02/13/2023
Heartstopper is an absolute treat, full of delightful touches like Olivia Colman’s small role as Nick’s mum and little animations that punctuate its headiest moments and call back to the scribbly intensity of the comic. Go to Full Review Tamar Westphal Slate 05/11/2022
Heartstopper’s focus on the emotional dimensions of relationships allows it to plumb the characters’ interiority, delving into their confusion without leaping to despair. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine 05/05/2022
It’s hard to be a human in the year 2022, and so we all need our little treats. Mine, this past month, was Heartstopper. Go to Full Review Tamma Moksha The Hindu 06/12/2024

4.5/5
I dare you to find a more realistic teen couple than Charlie and Nick, a credit to the actors. Gay and straight viewers will empathize with their journey, cringing when bullies spit homophobic slurs and cheering when relatives show unconditional love. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dwight M. @DwightMungerIII Jan 8 Heartstopper is truly wonderful in every way. Rarely does a series carry the kind of gentle magic and emotional power that can uplift and enlighten the viewer’s soul, but this show does exactly that—and more. It left me feeling invigorated and deeply hopeful about life and love. Every cast member shines; they are remarkably talented, gifted actors beyond their years. Watch this show. Share this show.

E mesmo assim é uma série muito real.😘 See more a b 01/15/2025 The plot seems to be heavily scripted in parts, and suddenly the heterosexuals become outsiders. The characters are wooden, and it seems like they spend hours discussing whether they're allowed to kiss. The actors are around 18 and behave like they're 11. It seems like something out of a textbook for wokies, but unfortunately it has little to do with reality. See more blanca i 12/23/2024 una serie super fantastica See more Read all reviews
