    I feel like Mia is an interesting character, but it was sad to see that the majority of her major character moments were sad. I mean...
    1) Her mom left.
    2) Her dad isn't around.
    3) When her dad finally decides to stop traveling, it's not for Mia, but for his new fiance that is also pregnant.
    4) Victor cheated on her.
    5) She slept with Andrew after her absent mother called her (but it's extra sad cuz her mom didn't even say anything).

      Richmond Kennedy Tbf Victor did cheat on her during that trip and lie abt how he had to stay the night. I don’t think she had a problem with the fact that he turned her down, just that he wasn’t being honest with her. I think with both the work trip and the thing abt them having sex has more to do with her abandonment issues, she’d already been feeling like Victor wasn’t that interested in her and when he turned her down, she felt like it was because of something she did or that she wasn’t good enough. Before the work trip Victor was being pretty distant and it was kinda obvious he wasn’t feeling that way abt her so it was kinda just proving her feeling that he was gonna abandon her. Which I think is why she was so upset.

      @Themoment888 4 роки тому +34

      I feel like she redeemed herself though at the end. The show is great at showing how the parents actions influence the kids. Lake is concerned with her image because of her mom. Mia looks for love in relationships and men because she feels abandoned by her mom. Victor tries to be the "perfect son" because his family has underlying tension and hard expectations to live up to. Felix is eccentric and cares about helping his friends because his mom has depression and a hording problem. The show is deeper than Lake just being a "bad person". It shows how a person's upbringing shapes them.

    I feel like there is no definitive dislike toward homosexuality in the show from the parents. Especially after the birthday party moment. While there is a hope of the little brother not being gay, I feel as if the father said that more in worry of the little one being bullied rather than being homosexual. Of course it is easier to make assumptions when viewing it from the outside, but I feel like his family is more accepting of Victor than he thinks. Of course I don't expect to see blatant homophobia in a show, but I feel as if the show uses the families religion to explain why they are homophobic when religion was not a main focus point. I'd be more interested to see how one breaks from the blatant homophobia in a home and comes out on top.

      @@joshr9812 @Josh R Definitely a harmful thing to say had she known and I am sorry you had to hear it as well. I understand how it can be hard to go against your parents expectations of you. It definitely makes you question whether you are in a comfortable environment or not. The show does help to show though that how your grandparents bring up you parents matter greatly when it comes to beliefs. The father had homophobic parents so he would occasionally make homophobic comments or jokes but was accepting of the gay couple at the birthday. I do wonder if parents truly don't want their child to be gay or are just influenced by their parental beliefs. I feel like it's the latter most of the time but can comes off as the first when you are in a situation of coming out.
      I hope you are in a safe space now! As someone else has said, we are not like the shows who have supportive groups of friends to fall back on all the time. I hope you have your people to fall back on and if not the internet is your place to fall back on! 🙂

All I want is to watch a romance movie about 2 gay people falling in love without sympathizing with their partner who i didnt expect to be there in the first place. And not being able to fully ship the main couple (cuz one of thems a cheater).
    Obviously i understand its a good plot point for high emotions but in every single one? I was annoyed about it after watching alex strangelove but then this did the same thing.
    In all the promo it looked like it was really going to explore gay relationships and dealing with having unsupportive family. But in reality they made us follow and focussed on straight relationships for the majority of the show, until the only gay couple breaks up so victor can be with benji. And victor doesnt even come out until the very last seconds of the finale without seeing the families reactions.
    I feel like the promos kinda gave off false advertising. Even though i still loved the show, it just wasnt what i was expecting (and looking forward to).

      honestly, that's why i liked the book (Simon vs the Homosapien Agenda) more than the movie. In the book, Leah wasn't in love with Simon, her only problem was she felt left out because of Abby and she was in love with Nick (which I could relate to, I felt like it was a nice change to the common trope you mentioned).

      It also plays into the biphobic belief that bi men are always just secretly gay. I thought this show would be one where Victor was bi, but it's just another tropey run :/

    • @Themoment888
      @Themoment888 4 роки тому +51

      I had hoped Victor would be Bi but I also dont see a problem with it focusing on Mia and his relationship. When I was in high school there were some guys that came out after having relationships with girls in middle school or senior year of high school after they dated a girl the previous years. So that's realistic to me. Overall, I think the show was set up to have multiple seasons so him coming out too soon would have felt extremely rushed. I think the cliffhanger was perfect because we don't know if his family's homophobia will reach an all time high season 2 or not. Plus, sometimes the homophobia is subtle remarks. When I came out as bi my mom and dad still hated seeing any gay ppl on tv and would comment on it if a show they were watching had a gay romance subplot. I think if the show went in that direction for the parents to subtly try to change his sexuality or voice their concern it would be realistic.

      I mean thats not entirely true. He just flat out ignored victor the whole rest of the trip after he kissed him. Any gay who knew what it felt like to be confused and closeted would not have just refused to talk about it, whether he was in a relationship or not he should have been understanding of victors feelings towards him, set those aside and talked it out. Benji should have tried to help victor understand what he was feeling especially after just admitting that when he was closeted he almost killed himself, after knowing how hard it can be in the closet, no one in their right mind would have reacted that way. Poor writing to make the ending seem better, it didn't.

      @@blakebelladonna7874 I have to disagree, he looks cute af! But in most of the situations I found myself agreeing more with benji's boyfriend, like wtf I don't care who you are I'm not pretending to be straight for some homophobe. And making Benji seem like the good guy for doing that is problematic and just kinda lazy writing to set up the eventual pay off of victor standing up to his grandparents. And as much as I'd like to adore his hopless romanticism, its pretty naive and such and overused trope. But still cute, like his little anniversary date was adorable, and I wished something more extreme would have happend which made Benji break up with his boyf on their anniversary. As I was watching it I thought/ hoped that would end things there. I feel like doing that would have opened up the later half of the series for more opportunities for victor and benji to build a stronger relationship that would have made the ending make more sense.

      @blakebelladonna7874 4 роки тому +3

      @@joshglynn7811 Agree/Disagree. He has good skin, but that's' pretty much it. But I feel that the situation with Victor talking to Benji and Derek(Apparently that's his name) is lazy writing, but for different reasons. While I do think that their anger is a little justified, but in all honestly, it's much better that he told them than letting go in blind and getting roasted and embarrassed by the grandparents. Yeah, it was for Victor's own peace of mind, but having that information lets them protect themselves and being able to avoid unnecessary danger. Plus, if they didn't want to do that, they could have just given Victor the present and left. Even on top of that, Benji is kinda fine with doing that with Derek having more issues with it.
      Secondly, Derek is older than Benji. It's suggested through their dialogue that he's older than him and I thought Derek was a senior. But then in the finale, Derek says it's weird for him to be at a high school prom. This suggests that he's already graduated high school and may even be in his early 20's compared to Benji's who's 15-16. Comparative to how they would deal with the situation if it got bad, Derek would be way more emotionally and physically strong to deal with it comparative to Benji, who already has depressive tendencies, would take it much more personal and be hurt by it. Also, why does he have to be this much older? It's this weird trend in shows to have gay teenage boys to have much older College level men dating them. It's illegal and manipulative. Which ties into the anniversary thing which is dumb.
      I do agree that they should have shown Benji and Derek better and give Benji a real reason to be with Victor( Which has problems on its own with what could have been).

And to comeback to living my truth I need to come correct about it. To anyone living with a big secret or lying to their loved ones that might read this : hang in there, don’t abandon life, do not forsake happiness for yourself and know that sooner or later you’ll have to let it go. So make sure to get your shit together and be the one to say it. It’s your truth, you made a decision about it, you’ll have to live with it and it’ll always be yours.

It's mostly a drama about building a tech company in the 90's so I don't know if that would interest you, but they get pretty straightforward about his bisexuality in the first couple episodes.

    Another thing about this series I felt is, the teenagers actually acts like teenagers.

    I had heard Victor was going to be bisexual and I was so excited for this. There’s so little bi representation and the trope of him cheating on Mia could have easily become him struggling with real feelings for both

    If you want to watch another show that focuses on Latinos that is on a streaming service is Gentefied on Netflix. I believe it was renewed for a season 2 so I highly recommend everyone giving it a watch 👍🏻

    Honestly, I like how Simon and Bram & Roomies give advice, ‘cause that’s how it felt to read the book. Simon and Bram just kinda text back and forth being like “so how did you not fuck yourself up?” Over and over to varying success. It’s like Victor is taking that journey with you.

      When I was 3 or 4 episodes into the season I had this theory that the very last episode would be Victor finally giving up on Benji and then finds out Andrew is gay and is secretly into Victor, revealing that his mild bullying towards Victor in the beginning of the season was really Andrew trying to find some excuse to talk to him(causing things, hoping it would lead Victor to talk to Andrew). Of course after finishing all the episodes I was way off on my prediction.

    Love, Victor, THE BEST American BL series of 2020. Thank Hulu !!! for being forward thinking unlike Disney Plus even though you have had already other BL shows in the past. I am hoping that Love, Victor continues to be a BL series and not an adult content drama. We need a series of love.

    I loved your explanation, always do. As I was watching I had a thought. Now when movies are being filmed without actors wearing a mask, it's going to be like bareback films post-HIV.
