Love, Victor

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".

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!

Wow. Season 1 was enjoyable and a good, simple starting point for this story, but Season 2 really stepped up in terms of improving the writing. The story lines are much more complex, the characters grow and learn, and the plot has great twists and turns. I can now say I genuinely like these characters and am invested in them. I think this show has at least 3 more good seasons left in it, and I hope they get the opportunity to continue telling these characters' stories. Everyone involved is doing great work.

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!!

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.
