Love, Victor

First review I've ever done on here. I honestly wanted to hate this show. I felt like it was going to be a long, drawn out, copycat if Love Simon. It wasn't. I enjoyed Love Victor almost as much as LS. I feel like the show isn't trying to be something it's not and portrays the struggle of trying to figure out what you really want in an honest way. 10/10.

SEASON 1

It's a spin off from Greg Berlanti's movie "Love, Simon", the creators of this series were the screenwriters of "Love, Simon". A lot of gay coming of age films tend to be short films or B movies, but Berlanti's film had a really good script, good cast and was a top quality production.

The mainly young cast in "Love, Victor" is good with a few cross over characters from "Love, Simon" and the script is good. It's not another stupid rom-com. It's nice to see a lead character who is gay, most LGBT characters are in supportive roles. Seems like most of the LGBT characters in network and streaming series are lesbian characters, perhaps because two women kissing doesn't make hetero men uncomfortable like watching two men kissing does. The main thing that I disliked about "Love, Victor" was it's 30 minute episodes, too much time is lost to the opening intro and ending credits. It's on a streaming service so it probably has a better chance of being renewed than if it was on network TV.

Hope it gets a season 2, there are so few gay characters on TV that it's great to see gay characters portrayed in a positive light. Too many "coming out" stories or "gays dying of AIDS".

This show fills a space that most of us were not aware we needed filled. Content like this would have been so beneficial to me, and others like me, if I was able to watch this at a younger age. The movie it's based off of is one of my favorite movies of all time but where this show really sets itself apart is how it handles the familial experience. I'm completely captivated by the journey the character takes and can relate to so many aspects of this. It's so important that this story is being told on this platform and I hope they continue to expand and diversify the telling of it. Straight people had so many examples of love and friendship while growing up and the LGBT+ community were left to journey through the dark. I know this just came out but I came here to praise this in all of its excellence before the career trolls arrived to attack it and minimize its efforts. I'm glad to hear there's already a writers room for season 2. Hopefully this blows up the way it should.

I had low expectations for this series, since I didn't like the movie, but I just finished up season one and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised! I liked it a lot. Compared to the movie this is, in my opinion, funnier, more relatable, and more realistic. The first episode was honestly kinda cringy, but after that, it started to pick up and I got invested in the storyline. Having a decent soundtrack is also a bonus!

I'm a bit older and I wish I had something like this to watch when I was in high school! The show was really cute, although a bit too cheesy sometimes and tried to bee too dramatic, but hey, it's a hs romance/drama. The last season felt a bit rushed and I was annoyed by how every 3 minutes someone broke up or started dating someone. But anyways, this show will stay in my memory as a good one!!
