Scott D. Pierce: Two gay TV productions aren’t exactly like their straight counterparts. “Heartstopper” is incredibly endearing; “Red, White and Royal Blue” is a romantic comedy with a twist.
‘Heartstopper’ is incredibly endearing; ‘Red, White and Royal Blue’ is a romantic comedy with a twist.Members of the LGBTQ+ community are, for the most part, just like straight people. They meet, they fall in love, there are complications and — if they’re lucky — they live happily ever after. Just like straight people.
In Season 1 of this import from the U.K., we meet Charlie , the nicest teenager imaginable. Charlie has had a rough time of it at school, where he’s been outed and is mercilessly bullied for being gay. Season 2 avoids the tropes of teen romance tales, but Nick is struggling to come out and reveal his relationship with Charlie to his friends. And it turns out that, in addition to his wonderfully loving and supportive mother , Nick has an obnoxious older brother, David , and an estranged and distant father .
• All is not well with the lesbian couple in Charlie’s friend group, Tara and Darcy . Darcy won’t tell Tara what’s bothering her, but it’s serious.
