can we just collectively give it up for kit connor, who has achieved the previously thought to be impossible task of making nick nelson even MORE likable than before

For a first acting role, Joe Locke really gave it all in his scenes. He really is Charlie Spring.

[Marcyradomblake]

Kit Connor did so well he embodied Nick Nelson's golden retriever energy it's so cute 😭

[notinthe.realworld]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is Joe's first acting role because he's that good! So sweet so nice and funny and kit just brings so much more to nick from the graphic novel, I love the novel but kit just nailed nick even more than the novel

Manifesting we get more seasons. WE NEED MORE!!!!
Edit: A 2ND AND 3RD SEASON???? THANK YOU SO MUCH NETFLIX

Their first kiss scene was the most beautifully acted scene I've ever witnessed in television or movies. Their facial expressions - so natural. The scene brilliantly acted.

Joe literally IS Charlie. Charlie Spring would totally love folklore

[gmore]

I just loved how nick and Charlie would say “hi” to each other .. it was so cute and genuine. Loved those scenes!!

I just think this series is for everyone. I'm straight and I'm completely obsessed with the show. I've seen it twice already and can't wait for a second season. It represents what everyone wants, in such a warm and positive way - to love and be loved.
I can't get over how cute everything is about this show. The relationship these guys have with each other but also the positive relationships and support network in their friends, teachers and family - I can't pretend to know how it feels to have grown up with the same challenges relating to sexuality and how that makes you feel about your overall identity, but I know that shows like this didn't exist 12 years ago when I was the same age as the characters, and for anyone who experienced judgment, as some of my friends did, I wish something like this would have been made sooner!
This show made me feel so warm, not just in terms of the positive representation it brings to the LGBTQ+ community, but it also gave me major F.R.I.E.N.D.S vibes because the cast just had so much chemistry. It made me realise people weren't as nice or supportive to each other as they could have been when I was in school, and that makes me sad. but I think we've come a long way as a society since then and It's really nice to see that things are improving and awareness is being raised all the time. This show has represented the LGBTQ+ community in such a beautiful way, focusing on love, exploration and acceptance - and I love and respect that so much. I need more of this show.

Ugh, I don't think I can wait for season two! 😩 I need more of this adorable couple. Nick, the golden retriever <3

Kit Connor here looks like he's in his 20s but when he's Nick Nelson, he looks like he's literally 16 and I LOVE IT.

i hope joe knows how he is literally the perfect actor to play the role of charlie. the way he portrayed charlie in the show was phenomenal

[anthonykeiser]

very rarely do you see actors who legitimately look like their character but Kit and Joe are legit Nick and Charlie brought to life.

[Amber-svfs]

I feel like not enough people are giving joe enough credit. He did a PHENOMENAL job portraying Charlie. Charlie is one of my favorite characters in heartstopper, so I really loved how he did such a good job and I hope I can see him in other acting roles as well. I love this cast❤❤❤

[elliegerhard]

Can we appreciate the fact that they chose real teenagers to portray high school kids. Like both are 18 and are representing 15-16 year olds

[lornaemily]

the way joe locke handled the taylor swift question was nothing short of sensational

[emilyrennick]

the fact that the vast majority of the questions were asked by young royals fans cracks me up. Clear interlap between fandoms.

[zenab_cx]

loved this show and loved them. could not have imagined better people to portray nick and charlie

[frankgonzalezofficial]

When I saw Heartstoper my heart melted. It was like seeing my high school story play in front of me. I was a male cheerleader and had a crush on the cutest boy in school the boy all the girls wanted and all the boys wanted to be friends with. It was the late 90s and early 2000s. We became friends and fell in love. We had to keep it a secret because it was a different time. I had my own Kit Conner and he was beautiful.

[carakayw]

the casting on this show is absolute perfection. each actor embodied their character in the most spectacular way that truly shows heartstopper brought to life. it feels odd to be incredibly proud of people who don’t know of my existence, but i am, along with so many others. i can not wait to watch this show/cast expand and i can not wait to see if we get a season two and what they will bring us! <3

[imasstraightasacircle]

I love how realistic this show was for lgbt youth! Especially the part where nick is trying to figure out what his sexuality is with the quiz. I felt that one so hard
