Love, Victor: Season 1

"While the show does briefly dabble with knottier issues of performative gender roles and inherited bigotry, it’s a mostly easy ride, a slightly gay version of a CW show but arguably, given how horny that network has become, way more sexless."

"While the 10 half-hour episodes rarely drag, they also never really dig into all of the issues brought forward."

"It could have represented something bigger, though, rather than standing as yet another example of Disney copping out."

"If the point of Love, Victor is that a gay Latino boy's coming-out story can be just as dull as Simon's, well, mission accomplished."

"Having seen the whole season, it’s completely appropriate for its young adult audience and therefore downright ridiculous that Disney Plus punted “Love, Victor” to Hulu for sensitive content concerns."

"For all the mistakes that both Victor and the TV show named for him make, both are ultimately… nice?"

"The episodic sitcom rhythms allow for an easier access point to the narrative about identity and prejudice—both internal and external. But it seems frustratingly hesitant to assert itself as a mainstream teen dramedy with an openly gay protagonist..."

"Love, Victor shows the high-stakes tension and turmoil of teen love very well, and fires on all cylinders when it comes to classic rom-com sequences."
