I’m glad the show had the space to bring those friends to the foreground so that we can see what Tara and Darcy go through when their relationship goes public, and so we can see the beginning stages of Tao and Elle’s relationship. The show covers Volume One and Two of the book series, which almost entirely focused on Nick and Charlie, before giving more information about their friend groups in Volume Three.
In eight episodes about 25 minutes each, Heartstopper manages to capture all the emotions of the graphic novel series while rounding out the supporting cast with rich narratives of their own. Since Oseman herself was brought on as creator and writer, the Heartstopper show was guaranteed to meet my needs. When I’m in a bad or sad mood, I look for shows that are uncomplicated and sweet, and they’re surprisingly hard to find. So then finding out that Netflix picked up the series put me on cloud nine. I waited impatiently for Volumes Three and Four to come out but they were worth the wait. It was 2021 and I was desperate to read anything happy, and I found joy in this wholesome teenage romance that prioritizes character development. I took the leap and bought Volume One, and then read them both with lightning speed. I first discovered Heartstopper by getting an ARC of Heartstopper Volume Two in a subscription box. If you haven’t seen Heartstopper yet, check out our non-spoiler review.
