‘Heartstopper’ season 2 review: Love and friendship continue to triumph in Alice Oseman’s world

The Hindu  

August 04, 2023 05:20 pm | Updated 05:40 pm IST Alice Oseman has created a world for queer people where love and friendship conveniently bend the rules of reality; there are emotionally mature teens, supportive adults, a token straight friend, bullies capable of reform, gay queer stories and even a study tour to Paris! The last time we saw Truham Boys School’s rugby captain Nick Nelson, he was busy lifting Charlie Spring up in his arms on a beach date and screaming out loud, “We’re boyfriends!” After eight episodes of will-they-won’t-they, the boys start dating and Nick comes out as bisexual to his mother, Sarah Nelson. Heartstopper Director: Euros Lyn Writer: Alice Oseman Cast: Kit Connor, Joe Locke, Olivia Colman, Yasmin Finney, William Gao, Kizzy Edgell, Corinna Brown, Rhea Norwood, Tobie Donovon Episodes: 8 Runtime: 31 to 40 minutes per episode Storyline: As Nick and Charlie’s relationship matures, Nick faces the challenge of opening up to others outside their friend circle Despite multiple failed attempts at coming out, the filmmakers are patient with Nick and do not hasten his character arc to lift the pace or the narrative rhythm of the show. The second season also broadens the show’s horizons and lets the audience into the lives of the friends of Charlie and Nick.
