I was in the middle of the season a couple of weeks ago and i couldn't watch more episodes but i have to say i didn't like at all the way they introduced Rahim.
He was barely there (or no there at all) for a lot of episodes and suddenly he is front and center and i suppose to care about him. Well, that was not my case (maybe when i know him some more, but in my opinion they could do a way better job introducing him)

Benji needs to have air time with out Victor

Well, i'm on 9th episode and i'm kind of like Raheem now (well, the guy is charismatic for sure) and i like they used an openly gay actor to play his online friend/crush whatever he was because i am just in nicholas hamilton's first scene

Well, i just finished and all i can say it's they really like cliffhangers.
There's a lot to comment but i'm very happy a show like this exist (and i would have love to watch this when i was 15)

As i say i ended watched the second season and i like it but there are things to improve.
Rahim is a character (and actor) with charisma but that's the reason it works, the way introduced him was pretty bad, you can't put front and center a character that barely was there when you have main characters (Andrew, Benji) barely developed.
People always complain about Love, Simon (some of the criticism is really absurd like lack of diversity when even the novel have a lot of variety on the characters) but the lack of drama is intentioned, it's like a safe haven showing that even you have a positive enviroment is difficult to come out (which is true). But the movie did a thing way better than the show, the main actor is straight, but the three love interest are played by gay actors.
You can't do a show where gay themes are the center of the show and don't have a single gay actor as regular, and when you hire one it's to do a ridiculous masc 4 masc scene (Hamilton only has one scene and it's clearly to serve a purpose not for a real storyline). I know most gay actors of the right age are not out of the closet but that doesn't mean it's that difficult to find one. Now they have three gay characters so maybe they need a new one because frankly based the main story on a triangle doesn't seem a good idea to me.
They show the nice part of Andrew and that's good but that character needs a storyline to show some background.
I suppose Víctor chose Benji (frankly, it doesn't make really sense otherwise) but they surprise me when Felix chose Pilar, specially because they make a really good job making Lake (a character that could be annoying as hell) a very empathic character. Anyway, i don't buy the Lake/Lucy couple they imply in the end. Lucy is Benji's friend and they seem all very queer but they will need to redo everything about Lake to make that couple make sense (of course maybe they don't go there)

Lucy is Benji's friend and they seem all very queer but they will need to redo everything about Lake to make that couple make sense (of course maybe they don't go there) I find it really bizarre that, after all the backlash in season 1 about casting straight actors in both the gay roles, they would double down and hire a third straight actor for ANOTHER gay role. They could easily have hired Nicholas Hamilton to play the alternate love interest for Victor - especially considering that Rahim's ethno-religious identity was ultimately a non-issue. On the other hand, they do seem to be catering to the other complaint about the Love, Simon book sequel being about a bi girl by giving Lake a female alternate love interest. Can they only handle one criticism at a time? The show format is too short for them to add a fourth gay character in a prominent role.

Yes, Rahim background was a totally non issue.
And they only seem to cast gay actors to play jerks, i don't know if Lukas Gage is openly gay (but he was on a movie that gets publicity saying that all of its actors were gay so i suppose that's the case) and Nicholas Hamilton barely had a sentence (which is curious because he has a bigger profile than most of the young cast of the show).
They need longer seasons or they'll be totally constricted.
And i think an actor should play any role he/she wants but a show with a main gay character and a gay theme should have at least a gay actor on the main cast (even if he is playing straight). And i know the cast is young and people tend to come out when they are a little older and all that jazz, but there are enough openly gay young actors out there to find one suitable

I actually thought they made the right decision on making Rahim’s background a non-issue for his coming out. They were able to subvert expectations and, most importantly, avoided repeating a similar storyline that we just saw with Victor… there’s no need to go through that again. I think the main point about Rahim’s background was probably more about the third member of the “triangle” also being from an ethnic minority so they could explore a different relationship perspective/dynamics to Benji’s (As they already touched on in season 2 and I’m sure will come up more if they go on with this triangle for season 3)

I love how tight this cast is... they are always hanging out with each other, and I think the chemistry really translates on screen.
This recent tweet by Isabella (Pilar) is pretty funny
