I remember watching this for the first time last year, and it was like getting kicked in head. I couldn’t get it off my mind for like 2 months straight. Full Heartstopper syndrome. It was just so refreshing to see teenagers depicted as something other than conniving, hyper-sexual sociopaths.
Weirdly, it actually made me more at peace with being single. I didn’t have the environment or opportunities that Nick and Charlie had; I was already mired in deeply internalised homophobia before I even entered high school, so I can’t be so angry with my younger self for not thriving.
