This was a decent pilot, setting the stage for the rest of the show and its characters. Nothing too special happened, so we'll see what happens going forward.

Great intro episode but...

I loved the intro to the characters and it looks like there may be some good story-lines here.
One clinker though... a $500 fee to play basketball seems ridiculous.
Still it's not as over the top as the Vice Principal was in Love Simon.

Not for me, but still pleasant

I want to say right off the bat that I think anyone who enjoyed Love, Simon will definitely enjoy this show too. It's family friendly, enjoyable, and has characters with a lot of potential. To me, though, it just wasn't my thing, which is totally fine.
Most of the characters, especially Victor, feel to me like any other Disney/Nickelodeon live-action protagonist. Actually, a lot of this first episode kind of feels like the same style of those older 2010s shows, except with less goofy kid comedy and instead mixing it with a lighthearted highschool drama. I say this because these characters aren't necessarily relatable, but a watered down version of what high school is like. This completely makes sense for its rating, but I just prefer something a little less by-the-numbers. I think Everything Sucks is a show that feels a lot more free in the highschool setting, as an alternative.
Still, this looks like a nice show that could be a wonderful story for young queer kids to be inspired by. Maybe the dialogue is basic or the story a bit unengaging, but I hope this brings as much positivity to the LGBT story subject as much as Love, Simon did.

Decent first episode

Was it a great first episode? I don't think so. Did it make me want to jump right to the next episode at the end? Mmm, meh. Did it make me want to keep watching? YES! And I think that's more important. It sets fascinating things and plots to see throughout the season and has a nice yet not cheesy nostalgia touch to the OG story.
