When Charlie outlines what his dream man might look like to his quirky sister Tori (Jenny Walser), his list of qualities is delightfully healthy: 'Someone I can have a laugh with. It's simply beautiful, whether or not the viewer has been lucky enough to experience those same emotions at the same tender age.īeautiful, too, are the relationships between the characters of this show, teen pals who tease each other gently and support each other stout-heartedly, and are transparent about their feelings.
Nick and Charlie share a palpable chemistry, and look and feel like real teens their slowly realistically building friendship-turned-romance is simply lovely, and the hand-drawn graphics that appear on-screen during the most intense moments feel true to the heart: bubbling hearts and flying leaves twirling around the pixilated boys, golden light and sparks that emanate when their hands get close together.
This teen romance is as sweet and lovable as a puppy, drenched in wholesome emotions and stocked with good-hearted characters trying, and usually doing, their best.
