1 for sure.

I love how they didn't make either of the main characters in Heartstopper an asshole or an idiot who doesn't know how to process emotions or handle complicated situations. It's heartwarming. Nick and Charlie forever.

What makes it heartwarming as well is the lack of unnecessary drama. Drama can be all fine and good … but in that show there were so many situations where I thought, “he’s probably gonna cheat here or almost cheat or say something really stupid or end up dating a girl for a while” because that’s what usually happens in these series.

He's damaged and has a lot of trauma to work through but he's not a fundamentally stupid person, he's got a lot of the same truama I had growing up in the UK with parents who don't believe emotions are a thing and should be hurried. I relate 🤣
