00:00Heartstopper made many old teenage romances totally toxic.

00:14When Heartstopper comes out on Netflix,
00:16Many people think it's going to be another small teen series.
00:19But very quickly, social media became obsessed with the series.
00:22because this series is the complete opposite of Euphoria.
00:25There is not violence everywhere, there are no characters who are constantly psychologically destroyed,
00:29There are no relationships that are based solely on trauma.
00:31And the series is mainly about first feelings, awkwardness, trust, and positive relationships.
00:37And that seems normal today, but for a long time,
00:39A huge number of LGBTQIA+ films and series ended very badly.
00:43Death, harassment, betrayal, separation.
00:45So for the LGBTQIA+ community, having a series where everything ends well,
00:49It was totally unusual.
00:51And that's why it went viral.
00:53because the series presents a much more reassuring and gentle version of adolescence.
00:57However, she is heavily criticized because she is too idealized.
01:00Too perfect, too safe, and not realistic enough.
