Netflix“Heartstopper” has become a chart-topper on Netflix. Based on the graphic novel by Alice Oseman, the series launched on Netflix late April 2022, but has been catching more and more viewers each week. Before heading to print, the story existed as a webcomic on Tumblr and Tapas, and it took Oseman less than two hours to crowd-fund the limited print-run edition.
The story centers Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson, two boys from slightly different social circles who find themselves falling for each other after getting paired up in a class together. The young adult series follows the two as they first become really good friends and then find themselves drawn to each other romantically.
