The star cast of Heartstopper leaves the fan in awe with their chemistry in season two and the fans flood the social media for the same.

&#8220;Sunshine Boys&#8221; &#8211; Fans Are Once Again Left in Awe of Joe Locke and Kit Connor’s Splendid Work in &#8216;Heartstopper 2&#8217;

Heartstopper [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/heartstopper/] is a breath of fresh
air among the pile of shows with stereotypical depictions of homosexuality. With
100% ratings on rotten tomatoes and being in the top ten most-watched Netflix
series, all can agree that Heartstopper is a must-see. The highlight of the
show, Charlie and Nick, played by Joe Locke and Kit Connor, won millions of
hearts with their on-screen chemistry in season 2.

They are so far the most accurate depiction of teenage romance characters, which
can be attributed to the fact that they are themselves teens. During an
interview with GQ [https://www.gq.com/story/heartstopper-joe-locke-interview],
the 19-year-old actor shared, “I think it makes it more authentic because
there’s a time and place for 35-year-olds playing 16-year-olds, you know.” This
case is very rare in other movies/series like Euphoria, Sex Education
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sex-education/], Never Have I Ever, or even
The Kissing Booth. [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-kissing-booth/]



Season 2 drew a lot of followers for smashing stereotypes surrounding LGBTQ and
society. As the new couple in town, Nick and Charlie tried to accept their
relationship, they realized that coming out of the closet does not necessarily
change the world around them. Starting with Charlie’s eating disorder to the
school trip to Paris, there is a lot to unravel in season 2 of Heartstopper.

Fans are not just in awe of their characters, but they are showering them with
love off-screen as well. 


FANS CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF JOE LOCKE AND KIT CONNOR IN HEARTSTOPPER

Recently, the two co-stars were seen in a TeenVogue Cover story and Netflix
posted it on social media. Fans poured their heart out for the teen actors in
the comment section with one fan calling them “sunshine boys.”

Fans also showed their admiration for the show saying, “Best tv show I’ve ever
seen…”. The characters’ impact on the fans led them to say “Yes they are
everything.” A fan also pointed “You are so real” and “They’re so amazing”
suggesting their chemistry is beyond the cinema screen. Fans have flooded
Twitter and Instagram with fan edits and posts for this series.

Not just the main cast, but the supporting cast was also on point and cast
perfectly. Every character seemed as if they were meant for the show. Alice, in
an interview with YouTuber Gavin Hetherington, said, “I actually can’t believe
that we ended up with such a perfect cast.”

The best part about this show, however, is that it caters to not just the LGBTQ
community
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-queer-not-queer-its-for-everyone-heartstopper-cast-tells-why-the-netflix-show-is-relevant-for-all-audiences/],
but to society as a whole. It questions its shortcoming and moral ambiguity that
tends to put people in boxes. Nick is a rugby player in the show, which
challenges the notion that gay people are usually weak and feminine. Meanwhile,
Charlie, with a comparatively frail build, plays the sports well upon trying.
The maker Alice said, “I wanted to challenge the idea that a person’s sexuality
is determined by their appearance or their interests, or vice versa.”
