If you've been craving a layered, heartfelt, sweet romance, Heartstopper is definitely the show for you — and if it doesn't make you feel some degree of happiness, you're probably dead inside.

This season, Charlie and Nick's relationship evolves effortlessly through eight episodes and allows them to explore their developing identities and sexuality, troubles with mental health and eating disorders, and tense familial drama.

Season 2 of “Heartstopper” recaptures that feeling of queer joy, but with just a touch more introspection and thoughtfulness.

Holding back where other shows might lean into melodrama. It’s all the better for it, too. While there’s a space for sleaze and sensationalism on TV, Heartstopper is a reminder that, sometimes, life can be sweet.

While Locke and Connor’s chemistry is so strong that you wouldn’t blame the series for leaning on it even more heavily, the other actors are strong, too. And their various entanglements are interesting in their own right, and present a wide enough view of the LGBTQIA+ experience that it never feels like Heartstopper is hitting the same beats over and over again.

Heartstopper is a genuine delight, and the perfect weekend watch to add some sunny jubilance to your summer afternoon.

Affectionate, blunt, caring, didactic, edgeless, flamboyant: Heartstopper runs the alphabet of adjectives, but never quite makes it all the way to good.

Beautifully done. I loved it! All episodes are beautiful and you can really see the attention to detail. Also the cast is amazing!

This season is kinda like the journey of Nick and Charlie escaped the Garden of Eden and grow from innocent teenage lovers into a pair of real couple who look after, trust and take care one another. Love it! Just have to say it again: People who hate Heartstopper must be allergic to happiness.

Like season 1 I'm season 2 the actress are wonderful. Each episode creates new excitement

A saccharine romantic triumph that not only celebrates **** love but prioritizes its joys. Aiming to show all the beauty, heartbreak and satisfaction that comes with learning to be yourself so you can love others. Loved this season.
