Do not read if you have not watched Season 2 of “Love, Victor,” streaming now onThe second season of “Love, Victor” — the spinoff series of the groundbreaking 2018 coming out feature “Love, Simon” — picks up right where the first left off, with Atlanta teenager Victor Salazar telling his parents that he’s gay. After waiting a year, audiences finally get to see how Armando and Isabel react to their son’s announcement.— there are no tears or screaming, no condemnations or rejections.
“Love, Victor” charts a different, more nuanced course; as Victor charges ahead into his first same-sex relationship with his boyfriend Benji , Isabel flounders, avoiding spending time with Benji — let alone acknowledging he’s dating her son. “She’s not a monster,” Ortiz says. “She loves her son, she loves her family. The way in for me really was just thinking about Freddy and Ramona and how much we all loved her, despite those flaws — how human she was. She was still there for Freddy, and yet, there was always that little thing — until there wasn’t. Until that light switched.”
One of the biggest sticking points between Victor and Isabel is her refusal to allow Victor to tell his little brother Adrian that he’s gay, a development that grew out of the small controversy when “Love, Victor” moved from its initial home on Disney Plus to Hulu before Season 1. “When he’s agreeing with her reluctance about Victor’s coming out, she doesn’t want to hear it,” says Tanen. “You can see on her face she wants the priest to turn her around on this. Her heart and mind are in different places.”
Ortiz loved the scene, but she says the director had to keep reminding her to dial back her reaction. “My instinct is to be like, ‘Let me loose!'” she says with a laugh. “But that’s just not Isabel. She still is so much more subdued about it.”
