Heartstopper is a reminder that joy sells. In a world full of antiheroes, shocking twists, and dark dramas, sometimes, we just need a little light. And Heartstopper is nothing if not full of light.

Based on Alice Oseman's graphic novels of the same name, Heartstopper premiered on Netflix on April 22, introducing the world to the incredibly sweet love story of Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor). Charlie is more of an introvert, completely content with his small group of friends and his nerdy status. Having come out at an early age, he's been subjected to bullying as one of the school's only openly gay students. Nick is the super popular rugby player, friends with the very people that bully Charlie.
