With 2020s LGBTQ Pride Month off to a less -than -celebratory start, there couldnt be a better time to retreat into the cozy world of Love, Simon , where adolescent romance and self-acceptance can be found atop a Ferris wheel.

When it debuted in theaters two years ago, Love, Simon was declared a cinematic milestone. Greg Berlantis coming-of-age film garnered mixed reviews , but nonetheless broke fresh ground as Hollywoods first mainstream comedy to center on a gay teenager.

The legacy of Love, Simon looms large over Hulus charming, thoughtful and binge-worthy series spinoff, Love, Victor . To be fair, the TV adaptations 10-episode first season shares much of its big screen predecessors DNA, featuring a teen protagonist struggling with his sexuality, a diverse cast and, yes, even that Ferris wheel.
