That milk sure is… steamed.
The first clip of Love, Victor, the Love, Simon spinoff/sequel TV series has just arrived, giving us a look at Victor in action. In it, Victor (Michael Cimino) applies for a job as a barista at a coffee shoppe, and finds himself a bit too distracted by the manager Benji’s (George Sear) grinding skills. Temperatures rise when Victor’s attempt to froth some milk goes horribly awry.

That’s right, there’s both a grinder and an exploding milk joke in the 95-second clip.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Set at Creekwood High–Simon’s alma matter–Love, Victor follows its title character on a similar journey of self-discovery. The show was originally set to premiere on Disney+ before Disney unceremoniously moved the show to Hulu, possibly over objections to the LGBTQ content of the 10-episode show.
Love, Victor arrives on Hulu June 19.

Quite the steamy scene…..

No job interview is that casual.
Guessing they know each other from school.
Saps48
Well, since the employee introduces himself as “Benji, from school…” then I guess they do know each other from school

ABC should replace “The Conners” with a homoerotic show like this. Maybe they’d finally get some ratings.
Bob
You mean Roseanne without Roseanne? Thought that was cancelled already.. Maybe next week. This show looks much better.
Woteva
Nah. They’re too young for me. Now if they were both twenty years older and remembered each other because they used to live on the same street, perhaps…
I wanna see a romance with older guys (maybe one of them had married and is on the way out of his ‘straight’ relationship?) so there’s a back story to really add depth instead of awkward, PYT’s.

I’m sorry but it’s 2020 and I don’t really care about a gay love story that seem outdated. Seriously, the flirting, we’re not in the 80’s.
It will be a gay show for boring teenagers, I’m sure we won’t even see them having sex like normal people.
(If you want a modern love story, rewatch the season 3 of the original Skam. Or the same season of the Belgium version)
Cam
So in other words, we should just have another series with zero LGBT representation because you don’t like this one?
And how is this outdated? Did people in high school stop flirting in the last 10 years?
Black Pegasus
Oh look, another fresh totally new coming of age show featuring photogenic young white boys.
Zambos271
I was thinking the same thing.
Chrisk
Lol
Cam
Actually something like 6 of the 10 cast members aren’t white, and it has tons of Latino representation.
But I guess you’d rather not deal in facts?

@BlackPegasus, it’s supposedly set in a suburb of Atlanta, not rural Utah or Vermont, so you’d think there’d be a bit more diversity, but who knows, maybe there will be and maybe they have a writing staff that actually has spent time in one of Atlanta’s suburbs (or a similar area) and can depict that world with a bit more fidelity and creativity. One of the main actors is Cuba Gooding’s mixed race son, and Michael Cimino, the “Victor” of the series’ title, is Puerto Rican on his mother’s side. I personally hope that no matter how diverse the entire cast is that they actually have LGBTQ characters of all races, especially given the setting and the era (now, not the 1950s, etc.) and do not fall back on the usual trope of making the chief and only object of desire what Hollywood usually falls back on, though this clip seems to repeat that. But who knows what the series will bring?

I hope this is a bad example of the show and not the true representation. I thought it was going to be a good series, nope. It’s like porn for minors. Ick
Jared MacBride
What part of that clip looked remotely like “porn”? Looked like a standard teenage rom-com to me.
MudgeBoy
yes that scene was hot. Can’t wait for the show.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
A show that is going to show Gay teens as not some kind of freaks, just normal kids
But WITHOUT FAIL there are those who instead of remarking how wonderful Gay kids now can see themselves portrayed on TV as normal, the bitter bitchy queens need to croak their self projected insecurities, voice displeasure and fail to say this is a good thing…..
Cam
Amen
Doctor Benway
You know you should come out of your cave, gays are portrayed like normal people for a long time now.
(But it’s more difficult than saying again and again than Liam Payne is homophobic)

Doctor Benway:
Liam Payne Tweeted to hate-filled smcubag Robinson family:
“huge love to you/your family huge respect for your business prosperities and the family values you still all behold. big fan.”
F-Off!
barkomatic
This looks like a cute show. Despite the comments on this thread, I think most gays are laid back enough to not have an issue with two young guys flirting with each other on camera.
ltm29
that moment when you live in australia and hulu doesn’t exist. good onya disney
Doctor Benway
@Cam You obviously didn’t watch Skam, and I would strongly advise you to do it. Season 3 of the show focus on a gay teenager discovering his homosexuality and falling in love for the first time. It’s realistic, modern, well written, cute without being sentimental
“Love, Simon” the movie is conventional and boring, an outdated movie with an old vision of homosexuality where gays are like angels in Heaven, a movie for Catholics. The show will be the same.
Cam
@Doctor Benway
In other words, it’s ok for there to be 10,000 shows with conventional straight people, but one show with conventional LGBT people infuriates you. (Eye Roll).
And again, unless high school kids have stopped dating, flirting, or being nervous around their crushes, you’ll have to explain how this stuff isn’t realistic.
Toofie
Looks cute for it’s intended demographic.
