May/June La Première - Love, Victor (Season One)

Hulu delivers again this June. Following a couple of hit series (Little Fires Everywhere & High Fidelity) that have seen me through a COVID binge phase. Love, Victor is a spin off series of the hit movie, Love, Simon.

Simon appears to Victor via DM's and can be heard as a voiceover.

Victor however is not like Simon from the movie. Simon had super liberal parents who embraced his homosexuality. Victor is from a Colombian family from Texas and is still deep, deep in the closet.

However two episodes in, Victor seems rather smitten with Mia as well as local assistant manager at the coffee shop Victor scores an after school job, Benji.

So far two episodes in out of the ten, I am hooked. Victor is cute, played by Michael Cimino, his mother returns from the now cancelled brilliant summer (USA summer season) camp drama Devious Maids, Ana Ortiz and Rachel Naomi Hilson as Mia Brooks.

It's very PG-13 so far, but kinda cute. Not all gay films have to be as wild as the recent Polish Netflix hit, 365 Days!


I am deeply saddened we are left waiting for the fourth season of The Handmaid's Tale, however shows like Love, Victor definitely help fill the void.

George Sear as Benjamin "Benji" Campbell is also cute, confident and I hope he has a happy ending at the end of the season.

As the show only landed mid week, no second season is a given yet, however I am sold. If you want some romance in your TV life, Love, Victor is sweet.
