The beginning of the new Hulu show Love, Victor exposes the privileges and criticisms of its film predecessor, Love Simon. In the first scene Victor Salazer (Michael Cimino) is sitting on his bed scrolling through Simon Spier’s (Nick Robinson) Instagram. He then messages him angrily saying “Screw you!” making Simon acknowledge the privilege of happiness Simon has with his boyfriend and accepting parents that Victor feels is not attainable for him. Simon is white and from a middle class liberal family while Victor is Latinx and comes from a religious more conservative family. Originally from Texas, Victor moved to Georgia to attend the same school, Creekwood High School, Simon attended a few years earlier. Unlike living in the wealthy part of town like Simon, Victor moves into an apartment with his two younger siblings Pilar (Isabella Ferrerira) and Adrian (Mateo Fernandez) and parents Isabel (Ana Ortiz) and Armando (James Martinez). Unlike Pilar, Victor is open to a new experience at a new school in order to figure out who he is.
