Heartstopper: Secret (2022)
Healing. A celebration of queer youth and the lgbtqia+ journey.
As a queer fiction enthusiast, avid webtoons ready, and a huge fan of this graphic novel, Heartstopper has not only met, but exceeded, my expectations. The momentum of this story unfaltering, and by this mid-season, this episode, it is evident to me, this show is everything that a youthful queer love story should be. This is the representation and celebration of young queer romance that queer youth have always deserved, and never have been given. I'm grateful for the heartwarming, relatable, and artful storytelling that this series brings. I am so joyful to see a glimpse into the future of queer fiction adaptations, queer filmmaking, and queer series. It's an exciting thought, to look to the future of lgbtqa+ media without fear of over-sexualization, stereotypes, and the bury your gays phenomena. I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to watch this series, and I cannot wait for what's in store.
