Series Brief

Overview

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 70 /100

Critical reception for Love, Victor is generally positive, with reviewers praising its focus on an underrepresented Latinx queer narrative and its strong, well-crafted character dynamics. Many critics found the series to be an earnest, sweet, and highly accessible coming-of-age story that successfully expands upon the world established by its predecessor, Love, Simon.

However, some critics found the show to be predictable or formulaic, often comparing it to a standard teen television procedural. While its heart and humor are frequently lauded, parts of the critical community felt it failed to match the impact of the original film, describing the tone as occasionally "bland" or "middle of the road."

“The result is a series that’s poignant, funny, smart, full of fun pop-culture references and clever, believable dialogue.”

“Love, Victor is one of the rare shows that manage to rise above the pack.”

“The series was super sweet and heartwarming, while being a lot cheesier and cringier than Love, Simon.”

“The show fails to scale the giddy heights of its predecessor, comfortably coasting far closer to the middle of the road instead.”

Why fans love it

Debuting in 2020, Love, Victor expands on its spin-off roots to deliver a high school coming-of-age story anchored in both drama and comedy. The series follows a fresh arrival at Creekwood High School as he embarks on a personal journey of self-discovery. Between adjusting to an unfamiliar city, managing friction at home, and working through his sexual orientation, the pressure mounts quickly. To navigate the chaotic landscape of teenage life, he seeks guidance from Simon through messages of advice.

Audiences value the series for its empathetic, multi-dimensional depiction of LGBT youth culture. Led by Michael Cimino, the show tackles the anxiety of being in the closet and the emotional process of coming out, alongside sapphic storylines and friendship dynamics. By mixing witty comedic beats with sincere dramatic stakes, the narrative transforms a standard high school setup into a sensitive, engaging look at identity, family expectations, and growing up.
