Drag Queens Trixie Mattel & Katya React to Heartstopper Season 2 | I Like to Watch | Netflix 

“Being gay is easy. Straight people make being gay hard.” Trixie with the word of the year!!

“I need to see someone have sex and it better not be kids.” -Katya, speaking the truth

Charlie getting the nickname ‘Miss Music’ is fucking everything

As a straight girl who was raised by lesbians, I feel the need to answer Trixie's question: when I was like six, I did come out as straight to my mom and she still to this day loves that I did that and finds it endlessly entertaining lol

Trixie’s reaction to the sweetness is like a demon being sprayed by holy water and I’m here for it hahaha

"You know, it's prom, we're alone... I think we should have another heartfelt discussion" TOOK ME OUT

When Katya says “I think this is like retroactively healing like 3-4 generations of people” YES! That’s how I felt watching it! It’s so weird to be 32 and finding such comfort in this wholesome teen love story.

The thought of being able to tell someone you’re not ready for sex, and them still genuinely love you and want to be with you still is really moving.

The way Trixie’s story with her brother truly made me cry, so sweet

Trixie calling Joe "the curly one" kills me everytime 💀

"Mama 👀 Girl 💁‍♀️ Okay 💅🏻" is so brilliant 🤣

*"I FOOKING KNEW U'RE A PUFF"* I laughed so hard!

Trixie saying "Charles loves the drama" as she lays side ways in to a couch in full drag with a ruffle boa, just perfect

them calling charlie "miss music" the whole time is SENDING ME it's so accurate

“That was the curly one’s body being thrown on top of the heat.” THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT. 😂🤣😭💀

"if you're afraid of watching something with too much gay intimacy you came to the right place" lmaoo drag them trixie

2:14 “Straight people make being gay hard” Tracy you better PREACH

Katya said it right, this show is retroactively healing to like 3 generations. Seeing this cute representations of teenagers being bi(!) and gay without them being alone, sad, abused or actively dying is something I missed out on a lot in the 2000s, let me tell you

“can anything get gayer than fainting in the Louvre?” had me in splits ! 🤣🤣

"I assume every one is bisexual until they tell me different." - that literally made my day. Gonna try to live to that standard

“British people don’t look right but there’s something kinda hot about it” - Trixie loves us UK girlies 😂💐✨

i love how trixie is both “i don’t wanna see these teenagers having sex on tv” and also “why aren’t these teenagers having sex?”😭😭

as a french queer person, I'm obsessed with Trixie's and Katya's french. It sounds really good.

“-and we’re pregnant.” 😭burst me into laugh huhu

katya, a famous drag queen "also that's crazy, i dont wanna put on makeup" FUCKING KILLED ME LMAO

I fucking love how Trixie has this outfit in every color. Lmao

"What's gayer than fainting at the Louvre?" Ugh too relatable

I respect their perspective about how the fact that no one wants to have sex is super unrealistic. But, i would like to share that for many people that is their favorite thing about this show, precisely because it is the most realistic portayal of their own highschool experience they've seen in media. I always thought other shows were unrealistic when every highschool couple took any chance they got to have sex so its nice to have a show that reflects the lesser expected highschool experience

I must say, as a gen z theatre kid, every letter of LGBTQ+ being found in one friend group is very relatable

Katya being continuously outspoken about bi erasure is healing my soul

There is a LARGE Heartstopper fan contingent of over 50s who love it BECAUSE it would have been impossible for our era and are so hopeful for the next generations.

"I think this is retroactively healing for like 3-4 generations of people" - Katya is so right. This show is wish fulfillment on multiple levels

“It’s crazy I don’t wanna put on makeup” THE SILENCE 😂😂😂😂

“being gay isn’t hard. straight people make it hard.” so accurate, and it probably applies to every relationship between a marginalized and dominant community.

Honestly as a non-sexual person I feel represented by the portrayal of their love. I'm not an ace, I feel romantic love and even from time to time physical attraction. But it's just way less than the average person as I have found out. So Nick and Charlie holding hands and cuddling is really speaking to me:)

The side eye from Trixie about Katya not wanting to wear makeup for a hickey actually made me yell out Loud.

Hearing Katya validate bi eraser was most validating.

"British people don't look right, and that's what is kinda hot about them" 😂😂😂 I DIED Trixie

“Charlie and Nick get some alone time, which doesn’t mean much” 😂😂

I have to note, as a frenchman, that their french is on point. Almost no accent and well outspoken =D I am in love :)

"It had consensual, loving, healthy expressions of love. Beautiful, wonderful examples of tolerance, compassion, and beauty. And that's why I had nothing to relato to" -- SAME, ME TOO!!! 😂

Did we hear a NEW story?! And a story of Trixie coming out? And now I’m crying? I love this show.

I love Katya’s vehement support for bi people 😭 😭

I find this show and euphoria so hysterical because they are both over/under exaggerated highschool experiences. No highschoolers aren't doing drugs and having sex every few seconds but they also arent saying "I would rather kiss than have sex with my boyfriend" 😭😭

“Charlie has that magic p***sy” had me rolling on the floor😂😂😂😂 I can’t with these two they took the innocence out of the show

Them calling Charlie “Ms Music” had me dying 😂 Also love the focus on him, he IS the protagonist, the drama, the icon 🌟

I love that they were representing being slow in your first relationship. A lot of teenagers feel pressured to have sex and do it just because they feel like they need to because of the media.

as a 22 bisexual who hadn't had sex yet i feel very represented and happy about the whole no sex situation bc, as much as you can't believe it!! being a teen and don't having sex its perfectly normal !!!! (i also understand your jokes and i had a lot of fun with this episode tho!!!) love you guys

Talking about the gay trauma is so so real. Watching Heartstoppers makes me realize how much I expect violence

I love their frustration about the Youths being so chaste, but Katya's comment about how this show is retroactively healing people is so TRUE!! I was straight in HS (lol) and I WISH I had known at 15 that I could have said to my bf "I'm not ready for anything more than kissing right now." Like, even though Nick is the hottest beefiest most tolerant bisexual hunk, he's 16 and maybe he doesn't want to do everything right away!! Some of these scenes are very fantastical but truly it's the things we wish we could have said, and I hope it can act as a model for today's kids.

I absolutely love the fact that they don’t do more than kissing in this season and talk about not being ready. I think it’s unrealistic when shows about teens are actors in their twenties and all they do is have sex with each other. Yes it happens. But it also doesn’t. Teenagers don’t understand fully the complexities of relationships. So I appreciate heartstopper for their realness.

As someone on the ace spectrum who still loves romance and kissing and all that, this show is really affirming to me and my high school experience! Also even for my friends who were not ace at all, we didn't really talk about sex/ none of them had sex or super long-term relationships when we were in high school. I know a lot of people definitely do, but I think there's like at least a third of people who don't either because they don't want to or just don't happen upon it! So honestly, this series felt super honest. I feel like Sex Ed also does a pretty accurate job with the more sexual side of high school, without completely overblowing it like you Euphoria and other shows.

"I assume people are bisexual until they tell me otherwise" I'm gonna start living my life like this omg

15:54 “I think this is like retroactively healing for like 3-4 generations of people” Katya you better preach mama

I love how Trixie said they had every expression of sexuality contain in one small friend group cuz my friend group is literally like heartstoppers lol😭 Honestly this TV show feels so refreshing, sex is something literally none of my friends hace experienced and shows do kinda make us feel pressured about it! Heartstopper has made me feel like it's okay!

"This is a learning moment for me" from Katya was so important to me

I can’t wait to watch Kit and Joe’s greetings to the girls when season 3 premieres saying: “Hi I’m Kit Connor and hi, I’m Miss Music” 😂😂

The moment Trixie jokingly made that sobbing voice saying "i thought you were gonna be mad" i fucking had to pause the video AND CRY. What a punch in the stomach. I'm so glad she talked about it 😭🖤

I would’ve loved to hear Trixie’s and Katya’s thoughts on the whole situation between Darcy and her mom.

Can we just anknowledge how phenomenal they look today? Trixie's hosting an award show and Katya's winning real housewives.

MAJOR PROPS to the subtitler for the terminology! A+++ (Blonde women woo) (Trixie yawps) (Trixie hollers) (Trixie shrieks) (Katya kecks) (Trixie retches) (Katya chunders)

Katya crawling behind the couch while Trixie screams is a vibe, they’re the two sides of my personality.

I’m convinced Tao’s wacky hair is because the actor Will Gao (who is far too young for me, let’s be clear) is superhumanly attractive. The character needs to be established a bit more cartoony, animated, goofy. He’s in the “kind of outcast” friend group, and even though he’s east asian and a film nerd, the actor is so beautiful (and tall) he needs a little grounding to read weirder on TV. He and Joe Locke (curly hair actor for Charlie) could and inlbelieve absolutely have do print modeling and could do runway too, I think most of the cast can and will, actually. Even after the haircut they make extra sure to communicate “dorky handsome” with the outfit and new hairstyle. But he’s moving into more of a leading man look in Paris episodes without losing the little visible quirks of his personality through acting.

It's funny because I find the lack of sex quite relatable to my experience, in my teenage years I went very slow with my partners, I think it was a mix of body image issues, stress around performance, religious guilt and just feeling like a kid still and not fully ready to explore new desires... So I agree it's tame but it does match up to some people's experiences :)

08:21 I was laughing so much when they said Nick and Charlie could have a room to themselves and just hold hands because that’s actually what happens 😂

I love trixie and katya being equally sick of watching teenagers have sex and also furious that these characters aren't having sex 😂

😭 THE WAY THEY DEDICATED THE WHOLE EPISODE TO DRAGGING TAO’S HAIR

''it's certainly trying and it's a wonderful effort'' felt like a read lmaoo

"Let these 12 yo British f****** have their little 'Three Bears" storyline" is probably the most accurate summary of this show I've heard yet

"This actor with the curly hair (Joe Locke) could do runway or print modeling" -YES YES YES! A huge verbal slap in the face of all those cyberbullies of Joe!!!!

Im so glad they learned about asexuality finally 😅 as an asexual im happy to see it

It's not a netflix movie but I want to know what Trixie and Katya think of Red, White and Royal Blue lol

I'm 30 and ace aro and seeing the scene with Isaac was really emotional for me. Its so great that the ace community is being represented and getting recognition because navigating through a world built around relationships can be tough. "This is like retroactively healing for like 3-4 generations of people" couldn't be more true!

Trixie and Katya putting together that sometimes people have sex because they feel pressured was such a wild lightbulb moment to witness. 😂

As an asexual, the hugging and kissing with no sexual energy at all is fucking everything.

"This is a fantasy" they say about everyone being queer in the show. Cut to me in university, being bisexual, being friends with a bi girl, 2 different lesbian couples, an asexual girlie, and our token straight girl friend 🤣🤣 Trust me, nowadays in school, everyone being queer is very realistic 🤣 Especially because yes most people are still straight, but all the gays find eachother via our excellent gaydar so even if only 5 out of a 100 people at your school are gay, I guarantee those 5 will form a friend group and live in their little queer circle 😂

" That's the Curly ones body being thrown on top of the heat!" -Trixie We love you, Joe Locke ❤ 😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is like the anti-Euphoria. Somewhere in the middle of over sexed, over drugged craze of Euphoria and this nearly puritanical almost non-sexual sweetness of Heartstopper is the actual high school experience.

I was TERRIFIED when I told my Dad. I thought telling my Mom would be easier. Boy was I wrong...lol My Dad looked at me and said "FINALLY! I've been wanting to tell you a story for ages." He told me of a coworker of his that fell in love with him & actually told my Dad about his feelings. My Dad said "I was flattered, but still had to let him down easy. He was married to my Mom...lol My Dad said I will treat you like your older sister. Boys come to the door to pick you up so I can meet them. No honking in my driveway! What a relief that was! I lost him 8-13. Way to young. My mom was just scared for me. She called her BFF who was my 3rd grade teacher and told her. My mom was sooo surprised. Her BFF said "Sherry I had Steele for an entire year as a student & have watched him grow up. HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW!! LOL Well, excuse me I didn't think my flames were that big... she went to PFLAG & met other moms of LGBTQA+ kids. The support was so helpful and my mom ended up being one of my biggest supporters. Sadly I lost her 1-18. My parents were amazing and died way to young. Sometimes I think why them? Why not the parents that throw boiling water on their LGBTQA+ kids, kick them out, or worse? Why take my parents so early? Breaks my heart, but now I have two guardian angels watching over me. I wish they were here! Blessed Be Mom & Dad!! I miss you!! 🤍💛💜

"British people don't look right" ... the shockingly casual brutality 😂❤😅

Shout out to Dan Mattel for being a wonderful big brother when Trixie needed him to be

"they need lana del rey in their lives." trixie could not be more correct im astonished

The way katya DISAPPEARED behind the couch because of the cringe is everything😭❤️ like it’s so wholesome, but god it’s hard to watch sometime

14:46 I die at the Alicia Keys "You Don't Know My Name" reference😭😭😭😭😭😭

Watching with envy ( as a 71 year old,) wishing there had been something like this during my adolescence. As you both correctly noted, this is for the kids, full of important, relatable issues, choices, solutions. The myriad of coincidences and the fact that that every friend is either LGBTQ+ or an ally, works in the realm of television. On "Sex Education," the whole cast is banging away on a regular basis and the kids on "Euphoria" are in a very different world than I ever knew. Next season they'll all be eighteen so Trixie might get to see more than she bargained for. And in any case, it's got Olivia Colman, so there's that...

Trixie's absolute anguish at the lack of fucking has me in tears. My first gay relationship in high school was with someone who was asexual, and most of my friends were gay band kid virgins, so I watch the show like "yeah this is how teens are." I know people who had the euphoria high school experience but my gay friend group did have the mother goose suite of high school

I think the lack of sex is kind of one of the most relatable parts. I’ve met plenty of people who have already had sex by the time they are 14, but I’ve also met more people who haven’t, and don’t want, no matter if they are interested in having sex itself or not. Plenty of people don’t feel comfortable taking that step until they are older.

"was this made for PBS?!?!" I was wailing at this omfg 🤣

15:05 The silent laughter after, “That’s CRAZY. I don’t wanna put on makeup” 😂😂😂😂

I actually appreciate how wholesome this show is (I’m 35 😂) It’s actually nice to see teenagers supporting each other and being honest with themselves, the majority anyways. Seriously every American teen show is about rich teens, sex, drugs, suicide and murder like wtf

I found heartstoppers pacing of the speed of their relationship very real for a queer highschool relationship (from someone who started a queer relationship in highschool)

When Katya says “I think this is like retroactively healing like 3-4 generations of people”.....im 33 and i both watched and cried for a month straight! When i was on the road i was listening to the soundtrack and when i was home i only watched this. I can watch it now and can choose whether to cry at some scenes or just enjoy it! cant wait for season 3!

tbh u can say this amount of LGBTQ+ representation in a friend group is unrealistic but this was literally my all girls british school experience

"In this universe, 90% of people are gay, and 10% are straight" Katya just defined Heartstopper and I loved it 🤣❤️

18:14 kills me bc the accuracy is WILD

26:34 I had to stop the video and cry 🥺

"Mama" "Girl!" Yes, this is exactly how everyone should come out!

I think people forget that Nick is still new to being bisexual. It’s one thing to be out and another to be intimate. Everyone goes at their own pace, and it can be overwhelming. So many LGBT media prioritizes the sexual aspect that it’s nice to have one that highlights the innocence of young romance

19:47 I was eating some melted ice cream and fully inhaled it during this. I choked for a good 2minutes. Tears down my face dying

Katya's emotional face during 6:16 when Naomi speaks breaks my already shattered heart a little bit more, girl.
