absolutely loved this, the amount of diversity in this show is amazing, loved it so much

Has the best representation of what it's like living with Autism in any show I've ever seen, Quinni is incredible 💙

F I N A L L Y a show that goes beyond cosmetic diversity to actually explore the intersectional experiences of people who embody multiple marginalized identities. Sex Education take note! I feel like this show is if Sex Education and Euphoria had a baby - a little bit wholesome, a little bit gritty. Love that it feels less exploitative than Euphoria while still tackling tough issues. Huge fan, highly recommend 10/10

Gladly surprised after entering it with zero expectations. Unexpectedly well rounded characters, able to make you fall in love with them and self aware of the diversity discourse. Where Sex Education might have felt like propaganda at times, Heartbreak High makes for a more palatable teen dramedy.

Really loved the series. I think the best points are 1: the plot 2: the characters 3: how intelligent it navigates certain topics (although there are some topics that are varely discussed that maybe were needed to get more in depth). The biggest thing for me was that I didn't expect such a good plot (especially season 1's plot is really well thought of and will catch everyone by surprise). Season 2 was also really good and unpredictable, although the whole "Alpha male Guru" thing was a bit over the top and the characters bought it too fast in my opinion (given how unrealistic their claims were). Although I could agree it's a good representation of how these sects recruit vulnerable men and transform them into incels. I have to say the series had a bit too much of the "Both sides have their own point!" energy, and acted like specially Sasha's and Jojo's points were unreasonable (when 99% percent of them were completely fair). Im not talking about the intended subplots of both understanding men are really important to solving the issue with misoginy, that was good. Also, I felt that the series ignored the existance of trans people (apart from some comments like "thats transphobic!" or "trans people exist" that felt more like a defense than a claim to represent us trans people). And I don't mean it like "it needs to be talked", but rather that the characters were not as inclusive as they were being potrayed (outside of the intended plots with Sasha or Darren where they had a growth around certain topics). They mostly talked about cis people and even when they were being potrayed as inclusive, they were still falling into missinformation about trans people and also on how misoginy works (if you can see the connection). Nothing to bring down the score, it's also a good representation of how society excludes trans women specially from certain conversations, although a subplot exploring that would've been the cherry on top. Lastly, Darren and Cash's drama was a bit too forced imo. I liked the inclusion of Chook and how, even if he is in a really bad mental place, he still cares about Cash to the point of letting him go. What I didnt like was how they both ignored the fact that open relationships and polyamory exist. I am asexual myself, and I think when there's an expectation that cant be matched by your partner, instead of forcing it or breaking up, you can try to figure out solutions (with consent and with communication, of course).
