something that\u2019s a comic for TV is that some things that are in a comic just don\u2019t work for TV. Like Heartstopper, the comics, is a very low-stakes story,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProblems are resolved pretty much immediately, which isn\u2019t normally how TV works, so we had to add a bit more drama \u2013 a bit more angst \u2013 into the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd also, we expanded the world of Heartstopper as well. We got to explore the side characters of Heartstopper in a lot more depth when there\u2019s not really much room for that in the comics.
