Shows that feel likeLove, Victor (2020–2022)

Victor is a new student at Creekwood High School on his own journey of self-discovery, facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city, and struggling with his sexual orientation. When it all seems too much, he reaches out to Simon to help him navigate the ups and downs of high school.

If you loved Love, Victor, the closest series we have are Heartstopper (2022), Never Have I Ever (2020) and Young Royals (2021). All three share Love, Victor's contemplative and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Looking for Alaska (2019).
