Heartstopper's romance is refreshing in the age of teen shows like 'Sex Education' and 'Euphoria.'

The new Netflix series Heartstopper does just that — it stops our hearts with its sweet romance. Perhaps the sweetness of Charlie and Nick falling for each other isn’t new to the teen drama genre, but the way this story is told certainly feels refreshing after the dark, decidedly adult takes on queer romance we’ve seen in other shows depicting teenagers, like Euphoria and Sex Education.

After they start to make out, Adam surprises Eric — and probably everyone else — by proceeding to give Eric oral sex. However, soon afterward, Adam’s father sends him away to military school, and Eric is left to wonder what in the hell happened between them and what it meant. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Eric is gay, but up until that moment in the music room, Adam had seemed to be your stereotypical, hetero jock.

There are other similarities between Charlie and Nick and Sex Education's Eric and Adam. Nick does, at several points, begin to question his sexuality and wonder if he’s bisexual, because he’s still attracted to girls. But while Adam pushes Eric away and continuously hurts him by ignoring him or pretending nothing ever happened, Nick doesn’t really ever shut Charlie completely out. They were friends first, and maybe that makes all the difference.

Shows like Sex Education and Euphoria definitely have their audiences, and huge ones at that, but here’s hoping folks make room on their to-watch list for Heartstopper, a sweet teen romance that’s appropriate for any age.

As conditions improve, both populations are rebounding. So far this year, people have called in some 7,400 rat sightings to the city’s service request line.
