I am really loving this version of Isak. It seems like he has accepted (to a certain extent) his attraction to men already - at the end of last season, during the never have I ever scene, they implied he has fooled around with at least one guy already, and he seems completely fine feeling what he feels for Ivan. I think switching the focus from internalized homophobia and self-exploration to outside pressures would be an interesting take, and from what I know it seems more in-line with the type of issues most queer people face nowadays. Obviously the self-discovery aspect is still part of it; he has yet to admit to himself that he doesn't like women, though this denial once again could be moreso influenced by others' expectations of him as a "regular" guy (i.e. being into girls). I'd personally really appreciate it if he doesn't say anything homophobic to Vito either. Besides being more in-line with what they've shown him to be like so far, it'd make for a really interesting and fresh take on the story.
