Season 1
I thought the show was very overrated because of the clichés and the fact that it had a boring storyline as a whole. I couldn't find any of the characters interesting. I'm a 19 year old gay closeted teen who didn't enjoy the show as much as i should have. So my original imdb score was actually a 5.
Mia was terrible, Lake was insufferable. At one point, Victor and his entire family were annoying as hell. It was just chaos all over.
There were good moments - the New York episode, The tension between Victor and Benji, and the conversations between Simon and Victor.
Season 2 They clearly made good changes to the show. We saw different sides of Victor, Lake, Pilar, and Armando. The characters felt real this time around and not like stereotypes.
Rahim was a beautiful addition to the cast, I loved every minute of his screentime.
The show stressed on how the grown ups cope up with the LGBTQ+ culture and it was portrayed as realistically as possible.
There were a lot of good points throughout the show.
There were a couple of downsides obviously. Clichés (but lesser than the previous season), and questionable character choices. But overall, this was a huge improvement. So I think I'm going to UP the score to a 7.
Let's see how season 3 does!

Honestly, I think this belongs in the list of top 10 netflix originals.
I watched all 8 episodes in two sittings - It was that good. I haven't read the graphic novel before so I didn't know what I was getting myself into.
Positives: The Soundtrack was Brilliant. Watch this with the best earphones you have. I'M NOT KIDDING.
They spared no expense with the visuals and it shows. EVERY shot was beautiful (reminded me a lot about Farcry 5).
The actors were pretty solid, especially the main character himself!
Negatives: The plot as a whole is very slow, the show takes its time developing the various characters. We don't know anything about the bad guy (yet). The entire season feels like a pilot episode.
But every episode was interesting to watch with our main characters interacting with other people in different circumstances.
Overall: This is one show i will never forget! For a second, it looks like it's made for kids and at the next second, it has gritty scenes.
It has beautiful visuals and soundtrack. If you're missing the outside because of the pandemic, this IS the perfect show to watch!
I swear, if netflix cancels this for some reason, I'm rioting.
