Heartstopper: Season 1 | Reviews

What should be de rigueur is moving to see treated so casually here. If Heartstopper gives even one teenager the tools for exploring their sexual identity, then it’s worth celebrating.

A.V. Club

This must-watch British coming-of-age series lives up to its title as well as its graphic-novel source material.

Paste

Oseman’s deftly written script has a certain lightness about it that doesn’t sacrifice watchability, an achievement in itself.

Hollywood Reporter

A coming-of-age story notable above all for its sweetness... Heartstopper’s dulcet tone is addictive.

The Guardian

Sweet, heartwarming... like a hug in TV form.

Decider

Heartstopper tells a gentle story about teens falling for each other in a way that makes even the issues they’ll face in their friendship and relationship just part of growing up. And that’s quite a refreshing way to approach that kind of story.
