Heartstopper Season 2 takes aim at eating disorders through Joe Locke's Charlie, highlighting an issue not usually depicted in men.
Based on Alice Hosman's graphic novels with the same name, Netflix's Heartstopper returns with Season 2, following the rainbow gang of teenagers through another phase of their lives. Season 1 of the show committed to a light-hearted tone and had a penchant for focusing on warm, loving moments between couples, friends and family.
'Heartstopper' Season 2 Departs From Traditional Representations of Disordered Eating Filmmakers have a history of struggling to translate the harrowing experience and consequences of disordered eating to the screen. Often sticking to a traditional model based on stereotypes and narrow-mindedness, they tend to either hyper-focus on the eating disorder itself or add it in as an afterthought.
Disordered Eating Isn't Always About Achieving Perfection Departing from traditional issues like body dysmorphia, Heartstopper decides to take the route of controlling food intake to compensate for lack of control over other situations. Throughout Season 1 we witness and learn about the traumatic bullying and sexual assault Charlie was subjugated to in high school.
Heartstopper's decision to stray from the body image reasons also saved us from potentially glamorized scenes of the character staring in the mirror while studying their body. Although this is probably the most direct way to represent body dysmorphia, the way they have been traditionally framed is almost like the scene is fetishizing an act that is supposed to be a cold and uncomfortable dissection.
Multiple Sides of Disordered Eating Depicted in 'Heartstopper' Season 2 After claiming Charlie was the perfect boyfriend, it is only fair to mention that Nick is one as well. Disordered eating doesn't only affect the person that is dealing with it but also impacts their relationships and loved ones too. The start of Nick's experience with Charlie's journey is represented fairly well in Heartstopper.
