Heartstopper Season 3 Finale is here, and we’re breaking down all the emotional growth, heartfelt moments, and bittersweet goodbyes that made this episode unforgettable. From Nick and Charlie navigating love and university choices to Tori and Michael’s honest (and hilarious) dynamic, we’re unpacking it all while celebrating the power of queer representation. Plus, can we talk about Imogen’s journey of self-discovery?
Whether it’s Charlie owning his mental health progress, the importance of friendship, or Nick finding his people, this episode gayed it up all over the place in the best way. Also, shoutout to Olivia Colman for being the ultimate mom goals.
