Is there any news on the UK release? I imagine it'll go to Prime as most Hulu shows seem to go there?

This is getting heavy advertisement as a part of Disney+ add-on... Star. It's going to finally be available for the UK market through that service. Disney+ have been advertising it a fair bit and even included a kiss from the show as their closing shot in their main advertisement for it. If you know Disney and their audience... that is a huge deal.

The advert (well for me at least) gets played every 3 adverts or so during YT videos.

I'm excited that we're actually getting it as I haven't got around to it yet, so I'll hold off until Star. The movie is one of my favourite, feel-good mood lifter movies.

Loved both episodes a lot! Just as charming as the movie!

It seems they're doing it weekly for some reason?! I think I'll wait til all episodes are out there

I don't get why they're doing that with a show that's already out there to view anyway? laugh.gif Ridiculous! pirate.gif

Their logic will probably be that they can't have too much gay on the platform all at once Neyde.png

Does this series work without seeing the film? (which I absolutely will do at some point!)

It'd work but it'd spoil the ending of the film for you, so I'd highly recommend the film before the series!

I'd say so! Without spoiling anything, there are appearances from a few of the Love, Simon characters but they don't emphasise the fact that they're from the film. The show holds itself up very well and doesn't rely on the film to tell the story at all.

Finished the last episode just now... great stuff! I think both Michael Cimino & Rachel Hilson are fantastic. So, SO good! Just an important entertainment universe in general. I feel like they should sort of do what they do with The Crown and rotate the cast every couple of series and focus on different parts of the LGBTQ+.

So in line with the film which is what makes it. Excellent stuff.

Really loved this, so cute and so well done! My favourite characters were Mia, who got done SO dirty, Lake, the sister and Felix.

I really didn't care for Victor too much but I like that his character was flawed but he got away with far too much and seemed to be quite unforgiving at times.

His sister is one of the best things about the show? 👀

I found this show unbearable... I might give it another go as I watched one or 2 episodes.

just the narrative i suppose... for me it was a sweet movie notion but to drag it out for an entire series is a bit of a yawn fest... would be more interesting for me if the coming out was done in an episode and the repercussions of his sexuality were the basis of the series...

That... is literally what happened at the end of season 1 though, and presumably will be a major part of season 2?

I think it's important they established all of the characters first, and had that period where Victor wasn't yet out otherwise it seems like half a story? We finally get some good LGBTQ+ representation and it's scoffed at?

but thats my point... it's an entire series.

Character development is created in one episode. I already know, having watched one episode, his family are homophobic and will struggle with the coming out.

Good LGBT+ representation is a story arc that doesn't revolve around a character coming out... good LGBT+ representation for me would be Pose, It's A Sin or even character like David from Schitts Creek where their sexuality is just there... it's not the driving force of the narrative.
