Netflix's “Heartstopper,” starring Joe Locke and Kit Connor, is one of the purest, most vividly accurate TV depictions of what it means to be a teen. Read the Season 2 review here:

), the captain of the school’s rugby team. Having endured abuse by his classmates because of his sexuality, and emotional turmoil from a closeted boy, Ben , with whom he’d had a secret relationship, Charlie was surprised to find refuge in Nick, who was equally shocked to discover his own evolving sexuality.

While the core of “Heartstopper” still revolves around Nick and Charlie, Oseman stretches outward this season, exploring the pasts, desires and pains of the newly minted couple’s core friend group. It becomes clear why Tao , Charlie’s overprotective best friend, is so apprehensive about Nick and the constant changes in the friend group. Elle is learning to trust that safe spaces can exist outside of the small circle of friends she’s cultivated since childhood.

The episodes of “Heartstopper” are brief in length, 30-minutes-or-less, and each feels like a preciously crafted diary entry — romantic daydreams and vibrantly colored doodles included. While questions around queerness stand at the center, Oseman and the actors embodying her characters are exploring the never-ending shifts that come with being a young person, and how painful and beautiful it is to continually adjust to massive life changes while trying to discover who you are.

“Heartstopper” continues to impress because of the honesty and earnestness of the characters. Media often characterizes teens as cruel and unfeeling people with access to droves of drugs and alcohol. However, most young people are very aware of themselves and their feelings, even if they don’t yet have the tools to express them. Using a gentle pace, Oseman carefully peels back the layers of her characters, allowing the audience to connect the dots.
