But Victor is still a 16-year-old figuring out a lot of new stuff. “Gay Victor has way bigger balls than straight Victor,” Pilar tells him. This season Victor is no longer an insecure teenager too scared to speak his mind and assert his wishes. “When did you decide this?” he asks his son. Armando (James Martinez) doesn’t react well. But Victor has news of his own: He’s gay. Season two kicks off where season one ended: Victor’s parents are telling him and his younger sister Pilar (Isabella Ferreira) that they’re separating. It certainly is my kind of fast binge-watching fare.
The new season composed of ten 30-minute episodes makes for the perfect summer watch while still hitting all the right themes. Love, Victor‘s complete second season arrives on Hulu this Friday, June 11, and I’m seriously thinking about adding it to my best of 2021 TV shows list. The show is set in the same universe as the movie Love, Simon, based on Becky Albertalli’s novel. It stars Michael Cimino as a Latino teenager in Atlanta embracing his sexuality and figuring out how to come out to his Catholic parents.
One of my favorite 2020 shows was Hulu’s teen dramedy Love, Victor.
