Our take
Heartstopper: Ending on a Hi is a TV-14 Netflix documentary companion to the Heartstopper finale. Cast and fans discuss queer joy, bullying, transphobia, and Charlie's eating disorder storyline from the series. One interview clip includes strong language; romantic kissing scenes are talked about rather than shown in detail
Uplifting themes
Queer joy, friendship, and the show's positive impact on fans take center stage
