okay I'm gonna spread the gospel for a bit because heartbreak high is seriously underrated for how good it is with its representation. seriously this show has some of the best queer, asexual, nonbinary, neurodivergent, indigenous representation etc. in any piece of media that I have seen and it is so so so funny. it depicts gen z (from australia) so well and season 3 is about to release very soon and I just think it deserves more recognition.
like just look at the main characters:
malakai & missy:
are both indigenous australians who are bisexual!
quinni & sasha
both are lesbian, quinni is also autistic which gets explored throughout the show
darren & ca$h (douglas)
both are queer/gay and darren is nonbinary while ca$h is asexual
amerie & harper
amerie (the main character) is indian but her character isn't defined by her race and harper has a central story about overcoming trauma
spider (spencer) & ant
spider grapples with self discovery and unlearning toxic masculinity + sexual insecurities (may be demisexual), ant is kind of the unserious stoner friend atm (hasn't been explored much)
I just love how unapologetically queer and diverse the show is so pls pls pls give it a go 🙏 I need people to geek out with about s3 when it releases!
