Oof, that was hard to watch.
HeartstopperHe's the scumbag who used Charlie , the guy who made the newly outed, vulnerable gay boy feel cheap. The one whose internalised homophobia caused him to belittle, ignore and pretend not to even know the person whose mouth he'd frequently jam his tongue down whenever "[he felt] like kissing a boy."
In season two's penultimate episode Ben bares his soul to Charlie in one of the most heartfelt apologies in teen TV history.Charlie, who had been dodging any interaction with Ben, was all but cornered with Ben's pleas to be heard backing him into a corner, giving him very little choice but to listen."I know I was a piece of shit," he explained, "but I really liked you."
For the first time the show really delves into the most vulnerable aspects of this villainous character and we sympathise with his complicated journey. In the most courageous way, he stays true to his feelings and his experience by refusing to accept Ben's apology, leaving us, the viewers, with a dichotomy of feelings.Netflix
