Love, Victor

Created by White writers and producers, the series focuses on its gay lead character, Victor, born to a Colombian American dad and Puerto Rican mom. He and his family members are all played by Latino actors. They're all complex in their own ways: Victor and his sister, Pilar, are both trying to figure themselves out, and their parents work through marriage problems, financial hardships, and religious beliefs as they try to come to terms with, and later support, their son's queer identity. They sometimes speak Spanish with each other. Victor's love interest, Benji, is openly gay and proud of his sexuality. Important lesbian relationships: Lake and Lucy navigate various challenges (including Lake's initial confusion about her bisexuality) before developing a loving and supportive bond. Lake also struggles with low self-esteem and body image, but this isn't explored in depth. Felix lives in a single-parent household marked by emotional and financial challenges: His mom Dawn has a mental illness with mood swings making her unable to keep up with work; she never receives an official diagnosis but searches "Bipolar Disorder" in one scene. The mother-son relationship is loving but realistically portrayed with the stressors of living with mental illness and financial hardship.

Victor pushes a classmate to defend his friend and himself. A priest tells a character that her son will go to hell because he's gay; the woman disagrees and argues with him. Classmates start a GoFundMe for a teen to mock him and smash his stuff onto the ground; when another character comes to help him, they're called "gay" in a derogatory tone. Victor's parents struggle to accept his sexuality; it takes several episodes to come to a place of healing.

The series revolves around romance: Characters kiss, date, go through break-ups, and talk about sex. Teens go to a party where they expect to "hook up," and a teen poses for selfies in underwear. The main characters develop healthy romantic relationships. Two characters make out on a bed and undress each other, and one of them asks for the other's consent before having sex (they're briefly shown under a comforter).

Language includes "hell," "ass," "d--k," and "s--t." Characters occasionally use "gay" as a slur: "That's so gay."

Teens drink from plastic cups at a party and play a drinking game. One gets sloppy drunk. Another teen is recovering from alcohol addiction; he goes to rehab and tries to take care of himself.
