Show Title: Heartstopper Audience Rating: Teen Warnings: eating disorders, bullying Length of Episodes: 45min Length of Series: 3 series of 8 eps each so far Why you recommend it:
Charlie and Nick go to a British school, they're around 15/16 years old, and fall in love with each other. We follow their lives as well as that of their friend group, which includes a trans girl. It treats difficult subject matters (bullying in the first season, eating disorder in the second, I haven't yet seen the third) with a gentle hand. Overall very heartwarming and sweet. The fact that it's an adaptation of a graphic novel (by Alice Oseman) is evident in the little hand-drawn squiggles that sometimes appear.
