i like how they showed “realistic” people. like people with different body types and acne

[lynxmania]

I love how Felice did not villainize Sara for kissing August well in fact, August kissed her without consent. This shows that despite knowing that August cheated on her, she only expressed her anger on August and not Sara.

[montereyjackcheesestick]

Justice for that kid they threw under the bus for that drug thing.

[subo]

Also the way this show depicted Wilhelm anxiety was so raw and honest. Even right down the first kiss scene. Never have I held my breath while watching a kiss scene. It was real and sincere. You rarely see that anymore. The actor who played Wilhelm is beyond talented.

[leo-hxwb]

Can we talk about the fact that what August did would be classified as child porn, since they're all minors? like besides it being morally horrible, he should be facing legal consequences.

[meyu]

Just to clarify - Wilhelm is NOT explicitly said to be gay. He could be bi etc, an interview with the actors made it clear that his sexuality was very intentionally left unlabelled and fluid.

[avekatumba]

I loved this romance. I'm shocked at how they managed it in 6 episodes.

[maria-iezd]

the fact that wilhelm helped august with his tuition just for him to out him he doesn’t even deserve a redemption arc

[valentinegrey]

I honestly think this is best teen show on Netflix.

[emma-cusi]

one thing i really liked was how close eric and wilhelm were as brothers, and not in that weird "hey brooo" way but genuinely close physically and emotionally, none of that toxic masculinity shit. the scene where they say goodbye at the school and they're hugging and wilhelm doesn't want to let him go almostmade me cry, it was so sweet and reminded me so much of my own family. and that the last conversation they had was just them messing around like brothers would.
(also that was when i knew that eric was going to bite the dust cause there's no way they'll leave the supportive brother in lmao rip)

[jasonlang]

The part where Sara exposes her friend isn’t necessarily due to malicious intent and is more of her inability to read social cues. It’s a very common for individuals on the spectrum.

[apekshan]

I like how, the whole personality of the 2 characters isn’t that they’re gay or queer. They actually have character depth, and the show doesn’t enforce the ‘funny, sarcastic, sassy and fashionable best gay friend’ trope. Like, it actually treats the characters as normal people.

[emak]

making the popular girl be bigger and have acne and be wanted by everyone was amazing

[courtonjohnson]

I feel like we’re really simplifying August’s actions to just outing. He literally recorded his cousin having sex, re-watched it and then uploaded it knowing that one more controversy in regards to Willhelm could cause serious trouble….. no matter what he does he literally can’t get redemption 💀 he betrayed Wilhelm, broke the trust if Wilhelm’s late brother, exposed Simone to the WORLD and caused trouble to not only Wilhelm but the whole monarchy exposing that Wilhelm might not be straight…… it’s beyond me 💀

[niamhharikasen]

Ok but the thing with Sara is, yes, she did terrible stuff but when she exposed Felice in front of her parents saying Felice doesn't like to ride that horse, I can understand it in consideration of her asperger's. My cousin has asperger's and she oftentimes says stuff that she doesn't know is inappropriate and that'll make people uncomfortable. Like she once exposed my sex life at the dinner table in front of my parents and she thought it was normal to do that until I had to tell her that it's not. Plus Sara struggled a lot finding friends and she obviously wants to stay at school to keep her friends and not be separated from them which is why she betrays her own brother. But not everything can be excused like that thing with August? Disghustang

[mairenyaf]

I literally CANT WAIT until Simon and Felice find out Sara slept with August (especially after Simon finds out she knew it was August who outed them from the moment it happened) that plot line is going to in s2

[movieglazer]

I REALLY liked that there was no blurring filter on the faces of the characters, you see texture and acne. It made the show feel so realistic even though most of us aren’t a rich prince in sweden.

[MS-dkqb]

But like Wille isn't really ashamed for his sexuality or denying it. I think he is just under a lot of pressure being the literal THRONEprince!!! I would even go as far as to say that this is the most special thing about this show, he has not a personal problem with his sexuality.

[stellak.]

I don't agree that there's no character development, I feel like all of them started major journeys in their lives and changed a lot, but none of them completed that process of transformation, so that's why it doesn't feel like development yk? Which just makes even more the season 2 a NEED, none of it reached the ending by the finale and it's PAINFUL

[therynn]

okay but can we just talk about the amazing acting? it has been revealed that a few scenes were 100% improvised, such as the fish tank scene and the football field scene. the chemistry between all of the actors (ESPECIALLY edvin (wilhelm) and omar (simon)) is amazing and raw, which is really what put this show over the top for me. i really hope we get a season 2 of this masterpiece.
