"Love, Simon" was a film that did not propose anything new, but it did so in a fresh and fun way. The adaptation as a series (a kind of continuation), makes the mistake of exploring the same ideas in the same way. Which makes it useless. There seems to be an idea of approaching the uncertainty of adolescent sexuality, but in the end the approach is very basic. And what's worse, although the series appears to be open-minded, it is deeply conservative, especially in the way it deals with infidelity, sexuality and the relationship of children to parents.
A solid series that deals with a lot of important and relatable issues in a sensitive and complex way. Cheesy dialogue, so-so acting, and way too try-hard at times, but the story hits where it should. If you can get past the clichés and cheesiness, this is definitely essential viewing for teen drama lovers and pretty much all American high schoolers.
