I have a confession to make. A few days ago when I posted reviews of episodes two and three on the same day, I actually ended up binge watching the rest of the season that night. I even stayed up late because I couldn't sleep without seeing the ending. I'm officially more obsessed with Heartstopper than I've been with anything in a very long time, and I'm loving it.
I took some notes while watching that I'm using to write these reviews, from this point on, these have all been written with the knowledge of what comes next. That being said, I'm not going to mention any spoilers for what comes in later episodes.
This is something I've already said, and I'll probably say it in every post about Heartstopper, but this show is just so cute! I can't get over it. I'm already rewatching it, and I still have a giant smile on my face the whole way through. Even at the sadder points in the story, I'm smiling.
The sympathy I felt for Imogen from last episode left when she confronted Tara. She's not horrible in that scene, but it's annoying and cringe-inducing enough that I can't say I particularly like her.
The whole bit about the rugby boys bullying Charlie in this episode really hurt. Harry was already a jerk obviously, but there were times in earlier episodes where Charlie seemed to actually be having fun playing rugby, and a lot of that might have been his crush, but it's still sad to see that ruined by how terrible they treat him. It was especially painful to watch him get hurt and then Nick agonize about how to react to it.
Almost as painful to watch was Nick agreeing to go on a date with Imogen. I really feel for him in that scene though. The show does a great job of showing the peer pressure that's Nick is experiencing. I was never too worried about the date becoming a huge thing, thankfully, but that didn't stop me from feeling just a little bit frustrated at the end of this episode.
