Heartstopper: Season Two continues to go from strength to strength, remaining a beacon of affirmation for LGBTQ+ people and one of the most important shows in queer culture. The representation remains incredibly authentic as Alice Oseman’s exceptional writing balances positivity and light-heartedness whilst the show tackles mental health issues in a delicate, realistic manner. Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke) continue to have some of the best on screen chemistry in terrific performances, and they are supported by an equally outstanding cast. However, Tobie Donovan’s performance as Isaac, who discovers what his own sexuality means, is the real standout this season.
