Love, Victor Season 2 Review: 8 Ups & 3 Downs

1. The Time Jump

While not exactly the cause of the season's aforementioned issues, the time jump at the beginning certainly didn't help them. Initially picking up where season 1 left off in the teaser, we then skip 10 weeks forward in time to showcase the new dynamics just as the summer is coming to an end.

Now, don't get this writer wrong, time jumps can be pretty effective when used right and Love, Victor does go a long way to justify the decision to pick up where it does, but I can't help but feel that this robbed us of some of the truly great dynamics that the characters spend the rest of the season talking about.

Considering how major the idea of coming out was to Victor, shouldn't we have seen how doing so instantly changed his life? Moreover, shouldn't we have seen the highs of his first relationship with a boy (instead of getting repeatedly stuck on all the lows)? And shouldn't we have seen how his mother and father reached the places they were at in their attempts to process Victor's revelation instead of just getting told how they behaved?

A lot of the drama we got ended up justifying the time jump but that doesn't mean the show would have benefited any less from showing us how important that summer was to Victor (instead of telling us about it).

Now, for the positives...
