Aaaaa I think I Really liked this season of Love, Victor. like there’s a few things I can be nitpicky about, but overall it covered a lot of stuff really well & I can’t wait for next season!

#Things I’d nitpick about include the normalization of teenage drinking that happens in a lot of shows#And I don’t think that benji’s AA backstory storyline negates that#However with Beji I do think it’s a topic they could do well if they cover it right?#Teenage addiction and unhealthy vs healthy coping mechanisms that is#Though again- I don’t like how normalized teen drinking is and it’s something they did a lot this season#I’m sure I’m bias because of my own experiences with it but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my reasons or that I have to like it lel#Another thing is the love triangle? Specifically w victor benji and rahim. Not my vibe#I wish gay characters could just be friends and not exist purely as potential romantic interests to add plot#But I absolutely ADORED HIM as a character#& maybe they could do something with that? Like dive into how experiencing attraction doesn’t have to mean the end of a relationship?#Like you can have a moment of attraction for someone and that doesn’t mean you don’t love your partner anymore#Cause imo attraction is just a feeling but love is both a feeling and a choice you make (at least that’s how I think of it)#Oh! Another thing I liked was Rahim’s parents being accepting!!#That was lovely and I like that it wasn’t an automatic ‘religious/Muslim immigrant parents = automatically homophobic’#& speaking of parents!! Victor’s parents had such great character development this season!! I adored his dad this season <3#And I liked how they handles victor and the family going through that#Like how it was made clear that his mom’s behavior wasn’t ok#But also that sometimes it’s not black and white where cutting someone off for a bad first reaction is just the thing to do#Like sometimes patience and working through it is the move#And it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt or that the other person is in the right#But it’s not up to someone else to decide if you can work through it and be patient. That’s a personal decision to make#Also unpopular opinion but I don’t really ship Pilar and Felix? Nothing wrong with them but for now I’m just ‘eh’ about them#But!!! I do like that it opened up the path of bi lake!!!!!!!#Aaaaa can’t wait for the wlw rep!! And the bi rep!!!!#Ok I’m sure I could think of a lot more to say but I’m tired lol
