“After Charlie Spring, played by Joe Locke, and Nick Nelson, played by Kit Connor, found one another in season 1 of Heartstopper, it was hard not to wonder where the show would go next. Of course, fans pointed to creator and writer Alice Oseman’s graphic novels (Oseman wrote the show as well), but could they recreate the magic of cartoon leaves and teenage dreams? In the second season, Heartstopper not only recreated their pastel world, but also expanded upon it, further exploring storylines for characters outside of the main couple. From eating disorders to struggles at home to asexuality, Heartstopper season 2 serves as a guidebook for navigating high school when you might be a little different, and it proves there is a chosen family for everyone.”—Samuel Maude, assistant to the editor-in-chief
