I love the show. Seasons 1 and 2 were incredible. It was the first time I saw my story, as a Latino queer man represented to such fidelity. This was also the first show I saw without the bury your gays trope. However, season 3 was just weak story wise. They tried to explore how casual relationships work but weren't really successful at going deep into that (or anything else it feels to me).

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

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.

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.

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!

This series brought me so much joy. The storyline is very, very predictable, but somehow that doesn't matter since I didn't really start watching it to be surprised. I watched it to experience a roller-coaster of emotions, and the show did not disappoint me in that regard. Even though I wasn't surprised by a single thing that happened, I still admired the writing because, ostensibly, they had not included a single thing that was not somehow important later in the show, and that had me constantly analyzing everything that happened instead of being distracted by my phone or whatever else. Hoping for many more seasons (and many more shows like this)! Great job.

EDIT: I'm only three episodes in on season two, but I can already tell that they stepped things up (hence why I'm upping my rating from a nine to a ten.) I hate an unlikely fairytale love-story, and this isn't it. Ana Ortiz's acting is on point, and everyone needs a friend like Lake. Enjoy the binge, folks!

EDIT2: Finished. Mwah! Can't wait for season three.

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.

This show is really good. The characters and the story was so good I literally couldn't stop watching. Barely any show can ever hold me this tight. I really suggest you watch this and if you loved Love, Simon then you'll love this! It deserves many seasons and deserves to be loved!

While the series is respecting their core values of the gay community. It's mostly a checklist "To do" series, with coming out moments, pronouns, inclusion, and so on. Its aimed at teenagers, so it lacks any depth, and continues into the repeating expecting traps. You will see what's coming a mile away, and there is little to no surprises throughout the series.

Its acted well enough, but nothing breakthrough, and its also no depth to the script. I liked it. But Movies like Call me by your name, or "We are who we are" still plays more to the depth of love stories.

Also telling stories like this, safely. While not exploring any sexual moments, to make it into a "family friendly" rated series; it is really not ... family friendly.

Love is not like this, it's not like a soap opera. It needs depth. Will all that negativity said, its has good momentum, but that also buries so many moments. the series is trying to cram 20 episodes of story into 10 episodes.

This show is pretty good. The movie was great as well.

I am in closet, and it feels like I can never come out because my friends are homophobic. I want these kind of TV series to encourage us!

Funny, sweet, and by all means deeply heartfelt- Love, Victor is bound to have you laughing and crying till the very end, in a very good, but not perfect spinoff, of the fantastic film Love, Simon. I have to admit at first I was quite skeptical of the series, I had seen the trailer, and didn't think it was going to be much. I've seen Love, Simon countless times since its release in 2018, and it has become easily one of my favorite films of the last decade, so I thought this could not nearly meet the expectations I wanted for it. However, although that fact was still somewhat true, I was delighted to see how much humanity they could put into a spinoff of one of my favorite films, and was often delighted to watch it throughout. The premise of the show, isn't anything you haven't seen or heard of before, but even though the storyline may not be as unique as Love Simon's its character depth is often quite good. I always enjoyed watching the characters of Victor, Mia, and Felix on screen- and found it quite impressive how much the show developed their characters as time went on, and how much effort was put into doing so. Felix was most notably my favorite character of the show, as I find his personality a lot similar to my own, and found it touching to see someone so weird and so caring on screen. His (Anthony Turpel) character I felt was very unique, and not something you see often in this type of thing, so it was always refreshing to his interactions throughout the show. Victor (Michael Cimino) also gives quite a great performance throughout the show, and we can see that circumstances for these type of things are not easy as for some as they are for others. I liked this take and view on the story, and was glad they went that direction. I was also overjoyed to see the callbacks to Simon (Nick Robinson), and his subtle voice appearances throughout the episodes, which honestly made me quite overjoyed to see his involvement with the franchise is still present as well as Keiynan Lonsdale who played Bram. The show can be a bit cheesy at times, as well as formulaic, and is notably more so towards the beginning. It's characters of Lake and Andrew often feel incredibly cliche and they make light of this fact in the show, but it can't help but feel like you are watching useless characters as they are on screen. I did enjoy the touching romance between Lake and Felix on the show, but I felt Bebe Wood's performance as Lake was a bit overdone as well as Andrew's as it just all felt a bit wooden. The pilot is exactly what you expect it to be, as well as most of the third episode, which was kinda a bummer, considering they had a lot more to work with rather than just putting it all crammed together in the end, but the final few episodes are incredibly touching, heartbreaking, and emotional to watch, and watching it all together, I wouldn't want it any other way. My Rating: 8.75/10

Love, Victor is so sweet and realistic. Well acted, especially Mia and Victor. All of the characters are gems especially the "best friends" who are goofy and quirky that blends together with the main casts. They should give a raise to whoever arranged the soundtracks to this show because it is very enticing and upbeat that amplifies the volume of their emotions. The conflicts are good, although a little dramatic but it is painted enough to reflect a situation.

This show learned from the lapses made in "Love, Simon" which is the lack of emailing between Simon and Blue, here it was emphasized which makes sense because the book transcends that feeling of old-fashioned but romantic communication.

Overall, Victor is soooo adorable. This show is really a treat. Good JOB!

This series plays it safe in almost every way, and sticks to cliches long established by teen romance shows of its kind. The lead character is pretty vanilla, and doesn't have much to him. The supporting cast, however, is great, and have some of the more interesting side stories. Overall, if you're gay and looking for a show that finally represents the struggle, this isn't it. If you're simply looking for a casual love story, try it out.

The fact that I'm even writing a review for this - something I've never done before - is enough. I simply have to shout out all the feelings I have about this show right now. I'm serious. I literally just pulled an all-nighter to binge all 10 episodes of this even though I have a full day of work ahead of me but I just could. Not. Stop. Watching

I teared up and straight up cried so many times throughout the whole thing because I saw so much of myself in Victor. This is just such an incredibly heartwarming, touching, beautiful and relatable story. I strongly believe most of us who have gone through the whole experience of trying to figure out your sexuality at a younger age really could have used a show like this growing up.

I absolutely adored the movie but I might just love this show even more.

Hoping for more Love, Victor and a LOT more shows and movies like this in general.

I really enjoyed this series for the fact that embodies all the new series trend in a good way. They are almost 30 minutes each episode wich is great because nobody has time to an hour episode. The cast is really diverse. For me every character has a good plot, for me all the plots was interesting and I was invested in all of them. For me the only downside is that I think that the show needed more episodes, because there is a good building in the plot but the last episode a lot of things happens and I thought it was a little rushed.

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!!

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 Was Truly Amazing I Loved It Absolutely A Most Watch
