Heartstopper

Yes guys! I am back almost a whole year later to give you a review of Heartstopper!! wasnt gonna watch it but then i remembered this account and felt nostalgic.

ok so…. complete honesty at first i thought i wouldnt get through the first episode.. it was just so cringe i thought i would die im sorry. but a couple episodes in i was competely invested and could see past some of the weird writing and acting and stuff. SOO fluffy and gay, i knew it was gay but honestly its wayy more gay than i thought, a good surprise. very much reminicient of my baby gay years rip, also i am british and went to a same sex school so it was a bit TOO reminicient? even though alot of it was not the same. for example there were definitely more than 2 gay people out. but very cute and im sure its accurate for A LOT of people. loveee how theres a guy figuring out his bisexuality. u dont really see much of that in lgbt cinema (or at least not enough) and it was very fun and also im sorry but i laughed at the ‘am i gay’ quiz, but im allowed to cause i lived it. there is a trans girl character actually played by a trans girl! which sounds like the bare minimum but its ridiculously rare as your probably know. WHO thought tao’s hair was acceptable???? maybe its realistic to the graphic novel or whatever but i dont care cause sometimes things dont translate well to screen and i literally cannot take him seriously at any time. cute and fun and if you want to be reminded of your young gay self i reccomend although i probably wont be watching again and literally the only thing i do is rewatch shows ive seen before so. 6.5/10 olivia colman is the best part

Young Royals

this is another series lol so i think i’ll just start reviewing series full time as well as movies from now on instead of explaining myself at the beginning of each review. anyways O MY GOD THIS WAS SO GOOD?!?!?!?!?!?!?! i didnt even know it was gay until i started watching it i just thought it looked like it could be similar to elite (which i may also review, it’s pretty gay) so i clicked on it. knowing it’s gay isnt a spoiler though, i could tell by the first 5 minutes (also i think it’s on some of the posters and stuff idk). basically a swedish prince goes to an expensive boarding school and theres a cute commoner(?) boy there and things happen… i don’t wanna spoil it cause honestly it’s so good and you should watch it. something i like about it is that the actors actually look like they could be in school. especially when you compare it to something like elite (i love it but oml these are obviously 28 yr olds). all the characters are amazing and the plot is SO good there was only one small point where i thought another way wouldve been better. i literally just finished watching the whole thing in one go sooo 10/10 ofc. also completley forgot to mention that it’s swedish and everyone speaks swedish apart from one girl who always speaks in english?? ik sweden is a pretty multilingual country but why just her? and why always? she obviously understands swedish. no one ever mentions it. maybe thats just normal there? idk man this was a really weird tangent to go on im so sorry if you’re still reading this

Tales of the city (2019)

okkk so this is actually a tv series but I think it works because it is (almost) entirely centered around lgbt characters and lgbt issues and it’s a limited series so there only one season. The idea is basically that a bunch of gays in San Francisco rent out apartments in this really pretty house and the house has a lot of history and stuff. Laura Linney DOES NOT play a lesbian I am sad to say but she is basically the only straight cis character in the entire show! It’s based off of an old show from the 90s (which I have not watched) which was based off of a book series (which I have not read) so idk how it compares to them but on it’s own it’s pretty good. I won’t lie it didn’t leave a lasting impression on me and at times I felt like it was trying too hard buttttt if you have time and want more lgbt content it’s worth it. 7.5/10
