The reviews for Heartstopper Season 3 have been exceptionally positive, with the show quickly maintaining its impeccable record soon after the new episodes were released.
As one of the standout TV series to have emerged from Netflix in recent years, expectations for Heartstopper Season 3 are particularly high. Fortunately for Alice Oseman and the talented cast, critics are praising the new episodes, deeming them just as compelling as the original season.
You can check Rotten Tomatoes for confirmation, where Season 3 has matched its perfect score of 100% on the Tomatometer, identical to Season 1. This is notable even before most fans have had a chance to view the episodes, and it’s anticipated that they will hold it in high regard too.
As reactions on social media start to pour in, reviews have been overwhelmingly favorable following their release earlier in the week.
In our review, we remarked on this binge-worthy TV series’ latest installments, stating, “Delivering on the expectations we had in place – and then some – Heartstopper Season 3 effortlessly matches its earlier seasons, if not surpasses them with a touch of seriousness.”
Keith Watson at the Daily Telegraph agreed, saying, “For all its penchant for sentimental navel-gazing and public information leaflets slipped none-too-subtly into the script, Heartstopper is that rare series that always has its heart in the right place.”
“Heartstopper Season 3 puts the ‘adult’ in ‘young adult’ without losing sight of the emotional core that made us fall head over heels for Nick and Charlie in the first place,” remarked David Opie at Empire added.
Indeed, every review for Season 3 so far has been positive, and there’s ample reason for this. Fans familiar with the graphic novels would have anticipated some developments, but the latest episodes venture into darker themes.
Heartstopper has consistently addressed challenging issues directly, but this season goes even further. Charlie finally receives a diagnosis for his eating disorder—a condition he has previously downplayed—while each couple begins to explore physical intimacy in a more profound manner.
Even with the more serious themes, the beloved wholesome charm of Heartstopper remains intact. As Stephen A. Russell from ScreenHub put it, “For all the heavy material this season, the show continues to be delightfully funny… Heartstopper remains undeniably lovely.”
Heartstopper Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix. In the meantime, check out the Season 3 soundtrack, learn about who Oliver Spring is, and discover why Ben isn’t featured in the new episodes. You can also explore more TV shows available for streaming this month.
