Drama Catch-Up

Heartstopper – This was a British Netflix drama about a gay high schooler and his romance with the popular rugby player who is discovering his sexuality. It is a beautiful series. Nick, the rugby player, is a beautiful, confused child who is a genuinely good person and won’t put up with his friends’ shit anymore. And Charlie is an anxious bullied nerd with self esteem issues, but a big crush on Nick that is luckily not unrequited. The pair together are just the sweetest high school couple you’ll ever see. And every time they meet, their soft “Hi’s” and their big open smiles are just precious. I squee’d a lot. I spent the entire series just “awwwwww”-ing and squealing and just generally loving the show.
