Ikr the plot and the characters are so well written. I started watching it when season 1 released here in the UK so I had to wait for season 2 to release. When season 2 released I told myself "I'll watch only one episode a day" but then I finished the season in two days :lol:

Hey!!
I do OCR A Biology, CIE Geography and AQA Psychology, with Biology being my favourite! I'm going to apply for Biological Sciences, with Leeds and Birmingham being my top 2! Mamma Mia is my fav movie, and The Weeknd is my favourite artist - I saw him last summer on his first night in London!

Hello :wavey: I like some of The Weeknd's songs. "Can't Feel My Face" is a good song of his imo :yep:

Best of luck with your studies :-)

oh i love them all!! particularly claudia, but i have seen Spoilers about her online <//3. also from an acting and well-written character perspective i'm a lestat fan (sam reid's delivery eats every time like he's so awful but so charisma uniqueness nerve and talent if you get me) and i really love louis, seeing the difference between him in the past and him during the interview is really cool!! they're all such well-crafted and well-portrayed characters, i'm obsessed with them all

Claudia was my favourite character from season 1 as well :frown: I saw it coming though. Throughout the show her character was always linked to her fate. Yeah I get you about Lestat :lol: Sam Reid puts on a good French accent as well. I've heard rumours that Sam Reid has been possessed by Lestat the Lioncourt 💀 The characters get even more developed and complex in season 2 which was great to watch.

oh my god sooo real about the french accent i'm doing french at a level and sometimes i can tell when a character speaks french that the actor is Not French (heartstopper season two said with love) but sam reid is not one of those cases! according to native speakers there are still some moments where they can tell, but also lestat's lived all over and apparently sam worked with a vocal coach to reflect that in his accent (my source is reddit so take it with a pinch of salt). everyone says that season two is somehow even better than season 1, i can't wait!! i'm on the final episode of s1 right now

I didn't really notice much the French accents in Heartstopper but then again I just did gcse French :o: Have you heard Lestat's new song called 'Long Face'? It's going to be in the season 3 soundtrack so I'm looking forward to hearing that in the show. Sam Reid did such a good job singing that song. Honestly I like reading IWTV reddit because sometimes there's really interesting discussions about the characters. Also they post funny memes lol. Yes, I prefer season 2 to season 1 because the characters get so much more developed and the plot is written really well, hence why I couldn't stop watching it. Ooh I hope you enjoy the final episode of season 1 then :smile:

oh yeah i have heard it, i've seen some really funny jokes about it on twitter where people are acting like he's the next pop girlie (idk how active you are on twitter but fandoms for pop stars are known for being a bit obsessive about statistics and charts so people are parodying that a lot) and yeah i agree i think online spaces in general are really interesting for finding loads of perspectives yk? cannot wait to get to season 2!!
