Synopsis:
The story of two British teens, Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring, at an all-boys grammar school. Charlie, a high-strung, openly gay overthinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, one day are made to sit together in class. Their friendship quickly becomes something more for openly gay Charlie, but he initially does not believe he has a chance with Nick, but love works in surprising ways, with Nick more interested in Charlie than either of them realized. Heartstopper is about love, friendship, and loyalty. It encompasses all the small stories of Nick and Charlie’s lives that together make something larger.
Quick Thoughts:
What’s left to say about “Heartstopper” that hasn’t already been said or seen with your own two eyes? This cute teenage coming of age queer series is that perfect blend of visibility for budding adolescents while also captivating those of us long past those teenage years. Based on the comics by author Alice Oseman, she has reworked her story into the series format – and even expanded on some of the side stories! It truly is a queer series that’s worth watching, and is relatively quick to watch as well.
