A streaming sequel to the 2018 film Love, Simon, Love, Victor is set in the same school, Creekwood High, and features cameo appearances from some of the actors of the original film. The central conceit is the same: Victor (Michael Cimino) is a closeted teen who gradually steps out of the closet with the help of his friends and, eventually, his family. Over 28 episodes, the show chronicles Victor’s first romance with Benji (George Sear) and his evolving relationship with his mother Isabel (Ana Ortiz), who isn’t as accepting of his sexuality as he’d like her to be.
Teen dramas can be overlooked or looked down on, but Love, Victor is noteworthy for how seriously it takes Victor’s coming out and the effect it has on his Mexican American family. The show has its lighthearted moments, too, with the usual love triangles and heartbreak that are essential to the genre. Cimino’s Victor is charismatic enough to spend a couple of dozen half-hours with, and Ortiz’s fierce mama is the rare parent in a teen show who has more complexity and screen time than her younger costars.
