Heartstopper

[tinny]

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.
