I gave my last review as Funk Mate n since I didn't wanna edit that but wanted to add something to it, I'm writing one more review.
Words can't describe how SPECIAL this show is. As I've said in my previous review, this is the best thing I've watched in ages n this show will always have a special place in my heart. I'm also reading ppl say this show was targetted towards the teenagers n the new generation n not millennials n older generations but when i started watching the show, one of my very first thoughts was it feels so millennial! This show, even tho set in current time where everyone is on instagram, is very millennial in its feel. N i don't know if the gen x n older generations feel the same way. But i have to say I don't think the younger Gen Zers can feel what it made us all the older generations feel. It brought back (or gave us) the feelings we were robbed of years ago. This show felt like it was more relatable for us but very helpful n useful for the younger generation. Which makes sense considering the fact that Alice Oseman is almost my age n she has the perspective of a millennial. I think that's why this show felt so relatable n touching.
I think watching this show we all felt- oh so this is the feeling i craved in high school. N we were made believe that we didn't deserve that until this show came out. N for a small town Indian boy like me who didn't even know what homosexuality was, i didn't even know I needed this. It took too long to happen but I'm grateful we got to feel this feeling cuz of Heartstopper.๐๐๐โค๏ธ๐
I'm so happy for the queer kids who'll get to see this n know that it's okay to dream about love n they deserve to be loved n be happy. Heartstopper is providing the optimism, that I know i didn't have when i was in school, to those kids. ๐
This show is indeed a gift for queer ppl of all the generations.
