Love, Victor

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!

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 want 10 seasons of that thing ! Everything is so sweet and then a bit realistic but just everything you need to fuel your fantasy

Just binge watched the whole thing. There are movies and series where you can discuss the cinematography, character arcs, etc. In this case, all I care about how these 10 short episodes made me feel. And as a kinda-sorta-closeted-but-not-really guy, this series hit me hard. And that's all that matters. Yes, there are more critically acclaimed titles out there, with better storylines and whatnot, but none of them made me feel the way this series did. I'm currently crying. Damn the show's creators for not making this any longer. I really hope there are more seasons to this, because I'm just so emotionally invested in the story!

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.
