“16 is when everything starts to make sense. Or when nothing makes any sense anymore.”
When last we saw our fateful teenage lovers Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke), the “Heartstopper” couple of the moment felt the warm embrace of support. Charlie admitted to his boyfriend that he’s experienced some semblance of self-harm throughout his time at school, a revelation that hurts Nick to his core. Charlie has been bullied for being gay, and Nick finds it difficult to understand why anyone would bully such a sweet, innocent young man like Charlie.
“Heartstopper” is full of moments like these, where Nick and Charlie explore their newfound relationship over the course of several seasons that correspond with their growth as teenage boys.
