That movie was directed by Greg Berlanti, who has created most of the shows on The CW. I hadn&#8217;t seen the movie, so I watched that first. It was pretty good. In the movie, Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) is a closeted gay high school boy at Creekwood High. It was based on a novel, &#8220;Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This new series follows a different gay high school boy, Victor (Michael Cimino) &#8211; one who is Latino and has a very religious family. Both the movie and show take place at a high school, Creekwood High, in Atlanta (not a real school). However, there are no Southern accents to speak of. That&#8217;s what happens when you cast people in L.A., I guess.\u00a0 Like Simon, Victor is very handsome.<\/p>\n<p>Ana Ortiz (&#8220;Ugly Betty,&#8221; &#8220;Devious Maids&#8221;) plays Victor&#8217;s clueless mom. Anthony Turpel (&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/bold\/\">Bold and the Beautiful<\/a>&#8220;) plays his dorky friend that lives in the same building. Victor tries to figure out if he&#8217;s really gay or not. He has feelings for a girl, Mia (Rachel Hilson), but also lusts after Benji (George Sear), who is openly gay.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fun little teen drama. I think it&#8217;s slightly more realistic in the TV show than in the movie. I don&#8217;t know why any gay teen would be closeted nowadays, unless their parents are super religious &#8211; especially in a big city like Atlanta. The movie didn&#8217;t quite ring true to me for that reason, but the show does seem true.\u00a0 Not only does Victor have to worry about his conservative parents, but he&#8217;s the new guy in school, which is always tough.\u00a0 Check it out. Teens should love it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5627\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/lovevictor3-300x285.jpg\" alt=\"Victor and Mia in Love, Victor on Hulu\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/lovevictor3-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/lovevictor3.jpg 368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<p>School\u2019s back in session, so get ready for all the feels\u00a0with the official\u00a0trailer for\u00a0Hulu\u2019s upcoming YA dramedy series\u00a0<em><span class=\"il\">Love<\/span>, <span class=\"il\">Victor<\/span><\/em>, set in the world of\u00a0the 2018 groundbreaking film <span class=\"il\">LOVE<\/span>, SIMON<em>.\u00a0<\/em>The series will premiere with all 10 episodes (binge) on June 19<sup>th<\/sup>, only on Hulu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trailer:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/youtu.be\/uh-IaEaEdE0__;!!PA7sDg!SwUJHuQ9EoKQHGTT46sI_ePY9avYOk5DYWTJawVblJa8zvwfnKVsx2ikqcZKOBqZ2ITS$\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/youtu.be\/uh-IaEaEdE0__;!!PA7sDg!SwUJHuQ9EoKQHGTT46sI_ePY9avYOk5DYWTJawVblJa8zvwfnKVsx2ikqcZKOBqZ2ITS$&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1594254936593000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFLm9Htvnm6fMZgKmhgiMOiJWzL1w\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/uh-<wbr \/>IaEaEdE0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Synopsis:\u00a0<\/strong>Set in the world of the 2018 groundbreaking film <span class=\"il\">LOVE<\/span>, SIMON which was inspired by Becky Albertalli\u2019s acclaimed novel, <em>Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda<\/em>,\u00a0the series follows <span class=\"il\">Victor<\/span>, a new student at Creekwood High School on his own journey of self-discovery, facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city\u00a0and exploring\u00a0his sexual orientation.
