Whatever your entertainment needs, we got your back (and hopefully your mind) with Queerty’s weekly “Culture Club” column with some of the highlights of new releases, streaming shows, classics worth revisiting, and what to drink while you watch.Alice Oseman’s popular graphic novel gets the series treatment, and in short, we’re smitten.
Heartstopper follows the ordeal of Charlie (Joe Locke), a middle school student struggling with life as one of the few out-gay kids at his school.
Charlie’s engaged in a clandestine affair with Ben (Sebastian Croft), a raging closet case who insists they hook up in dark corners of the school between classes.
As the relationship begins to wear Charlie down, his gaze drifts to Nick (Kit Connor), a handsome new classmate that makes quite a splash on the rugby team.Much like Love, Victor, Heartstopper concerns itself with the all-butterflies and giggles feelings of first love.
