I really love the movie Love, Simon and I've also read the books so I had pretty high expectations for this series, and it definitely met them. It's shorter than most series with each episode being only 25-30 minutes but that makes the entire plot well-bound without any excess - short and crisp if I could say so. As a part of the LGBTQ community, I love how everything surrounding it was so well portrayed and realistic, and not to mention the actors all did a great job. (Plus I love how it wasn't overly sexualized but instead like a journey of finding yourself... it's all I expected and something I could relate to.) The soundtrack was perfect and I really liked the direction. For me, this series would be something I'd recommend for one to watch as a slice of life, rom-com that deals will real-age teenage issues. With the cliffhanger in the last episode, I'm really looking forward to season 2.
