In the past 24 hours, I'm already on my third repeat of Heartstopper.

By tomorrow, I can bet you I'll be on my fourth. Maybe even fifth.

Heartstopper is a coming-of-age story about two teenage boys who meet and fall in love. In between, they navigate changing friendship dynamics, identity, self-worth, sexuality, and bullying.

There is a lot to love about this show.

But here are three that I think make it worth a rewatch or ten.

1) Nick's coming out story is beautiful

It's the kind of story I wish all LGBTQ+ kids experience.

His journey is juxtaposed with Ben, who's also trying to figure himself out. Nick approaches his with curiosity and love, while Ben handles it with denial and even abusive behaviour.

There are many coming out stories in this show, but Nick's story takes centre stage. I can't help but root for him and Charlie, who, in his way, deserves the kind of love that I see Nick capable of giving.

2) It's a story about friendship

There's Charlie and his supportive friends: Tao, Elle and Issac.

And also, Nick's group who turned out not to be the kind of friends he wanted to continue hanging out with.

I'm glad they included this because it's a crucial part of our journey growing up. Wherein we outgrow our identity and, with it, some friends too.

3) It's immersive and visually stunning

Of course, this won't be an enjoyable show if it wasn't beautifully done.

I especially love the animation touches that give an added layer to a character's inner workings. It also adds that youthful vibe and is a nod to its beginnings as a webcomic and graphic novel.

But most of all, I think what brings this series home is the music. It's what gives the show pace and the added drama, all perfectly timed to the tender moments of the show.

If I'm not watching the show, I'm listening to the soundtrack.

Am I obsessed? Pretty much.
