Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Heartstopper is a British romantic teen drama series based on the webcomic of the same name by Alice Oseman. Oseman also developed and wrote for the show.The series follows teenagers Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) who meet and become friends on the first day of term at Truham Grammar School for Boys. Charlie, having been outed as gay the previous year, soon develops a crush on Nick. Charlie's friends Tao (William Gao), Elle (Yasmin Finney) and Isaac (Tobie Donovan) are worried this crush will lead to him getting hurt but are nonetheless supportive. But things might not be as black-and-white as that, because Nick starts to question whether he likes Charlie as just a friend, or something much more...The first season was released on Netflix on April 22, 2022. On May 20, it was renewed for two more seasons.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The character sheet for the Netflix adaptation can be found here.

Adaptational Villainy
 Heartstopper / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: In the comic, Ben was still a cheating narcissist who attempted to sexually assault Charlie, but he left Charlie alone after Harry's birthday party. Here, Ben's also shown to be emotionally abusive during their liaisons, pretends not to know Charlie while out in public, repeatedly corners Charlie after their breakup just to belittle and gaslight him, and even attempts to blackmail Charlie by threatening to out Nick. Despite his expanded role showing Ben committing more misdeeds than in the comics, his characterization seems slightly different. While still an inexcusable villain in the Netflix series, Ben's expressions and tone express a character that is frustrated, angry and desperate rather than the smiling and sinister character from the comics.

Adaptation Expansion: A number of plotlines are given far more focus as opposed to being in the background of Nick and Charlie's love story.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

comment
Adapted Out: Charlie's little brother Oliver was written out of the show (due to the difficulty of working with child actors), leaving Tori as his only sibling here. Charlie's friend Aled Last was also written out to give respect to his story in Radio Silence and is replaced with Isaac.

comment
Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed with Charlie, who is already a Nice Guy to begin with. In the series though, he blames himself for Nick's fight with Harry Greene, even considering breaking up with Nick to keep him out of trouble. By contrast, comic!Charlie wished he could have seen it.
