Review: Heartbreak High

★★★★☆ - 4 stars

"Just remember, high school, it mostly sucks. But it's one time in your life. You're gonna be okay."

If the SOUR album by Olivia Rodrigo was a TV Show it would be Heartbreak High. A modern version of the original 90s show, Heartbreak High tells the tale of the students of Hartley High after the so-called 'Incest Map' gets revealed, and the drama that entails as a result of their newly formed sexual health class ('SLTs' - subsequently named 'Sluts' by the students). The cast is extremely diverse, with representation of different racial groups, genders, sexualities, and disabilities. The most wonderful form of representation is undoubtedly the authentic autistic representation through the outstanding Chloe Hayden as Quinni Gallagher-Jones. Autistic representation is extremely rare in the media and Heartbreak High manages it perfectly, with one of the most accurate depictions of overstimulation ever seen on screen. This is a TV show made for Gen-Z that actually portrays the generation extremely well, in all its wacky wonder. A tale of love, sex, and drama, Heartbreak High perfectly encapsulates teenage rage in a montage of hysterically funny and thrilling moments.

Above all else the thing that you have to realize in this scene is that Miguel has his own roll of tape in his hands and he still asks Robby for help.

I cannot get over this detail, obviously Miguel knows how to do it himself and he has the means to but he wants Robby to do it for him and Robby doesn’t even hesitate. He doesn’t think it’s weird that Miguel would ask and he wants to help him too.

I just feel like this is such important symbolism for their relationship this season and how far they’ve come because immediately they’re showing that Miguel and Robby didn’t just stop fighting they’re actually protecting each other now and that very accurately sets the tone of their relationship in the new season.

Not to mention the intimacy and trust in allowing someone else to help you wrap your knuckles and the way it’s so casual that neither of them spare it a thought despite how silly and impractical it might seem to have Robby stop doing his own to do Miguel’s when Miguel could have done it by himself.

I could honestly keep going about this scene but it’s just so important to me and it’s the kind of Kiaz content I’ve wanted for so many seasons now and we’re finally getting it. I honestly can’t handle how perfect for each other they are.

Literally told my sister I did NAWT trust that white lady with that cunty ass bob.

red is to spider-man as pink is to miles, in that pink is the color of: self-expression, confidence, compassion. if you side with miles, if you want to support his growth, you're going to be in pink

that being said...a pink robe can be removed, and pink hairdye can be washed out
