Given the rate I'm going through these I think I'll mostly save replies for subsequent episodes rather than trying to maintain threads. So, on that front, 18 year old Joe Locke doesn't look remotely 14 (or 15). That's my other teen show wish: That casting directors would actually cast actors that are the right ages.
Charming episode. I know a lot of people who like the short "In a Heartbeat" but it has always left me cold because the characters have no personalities. The hang out scenes here capture the same moony joy that the short is going for but actually works for me because there is context. Heartstopper is a good name for this show.
I like how the girls at Higgs act kind of rowdy and dopey, the way boys often do. I don't know if that's a fair depiction of how things change in a single gender environment, but I suspect it is.
I don't totally buy that crushing on Charlie is the first time Nick considered that he might be gay. It might be a little more believable if the actor looked closer to the character's age.
