Disney+ Retrospective: Love, Victor Season 1 Episodes 4-6

Alright, we’re back for a second look at Love Victor. Pilar’s discovered a devastating secret and Victor’s love life continues to be complicated.

Disney+ Retrospective: Love, Victor Season 1 Episodes 1-3

I have said before how much I enjoy Love, Simon both the book and the film and at the time I pointed out there was a series by the same people taking place in the same world that had my interest. It was originally going to come out on Disney+ but some content issues, apparently related to the consumption of Alcohol had Disney deem it not Family Friendly enough for the Platform and it got relocated to Hulu, Disney’s other streaming service. But the UK does not have Hulu, and Disney has a plethora of adult content that it can use to squeeze more money out of us gullible watchers, so came the launch of the STAR (not to be confused with STARZ, co-producers of the awful Torchwood: Miracle Day) the adult section for Disney Plus where Love, Victor (and for some reason not Love, Simon) eventually found its way.

I was originally going to review High School Musical: The Musical: The Series but ultimately decided that the show is more fitting for a series retrospective, as the focus is on comedy and less so a story, something I’ll touch upon when I eventually review it. But Love, Victor has the same number of episodes and a similar episode length so let’s get to it.

But before we do, a couple of pre-review bits: I have now read Leah on the Offbeat and it did, I don’t know about ‘fix’ her but it made me see Leah in a better light. The downside of this is Nick kinda got the shaft. Love, Creekwood, a recent entry that supposedly serves as a prelude to this show, (something I will get back to) barely features him at all.

Also, a few corrections from my Love, Simon review, only Bram (Blue’s) email was book accurate. The book and the film both take place between September and February, though my criticism of the Anniversary plotline still stands.

So, let’s dig into Love, Victor and see what this show does.
