Love, Victor(Hulu)Prepare to swoon over this show, which places LGBTQ romances in the forefront of an otherwise standard coming-of-age high school story. It’s impossible not to loveLove, Victorand its cast from the start — I dare you not to watch the whole show in one sitting — and season 2 (streaming June 11 on Hulu) appears to bring back all the feels in some potentially bold new directions. Bring on the butterflies! —Benjamin VanHoose, Digital News Writer
Troye Sivan (Music)There is aTroye Sivansong for every mood. Feeling down? Cry it out while listening to the entirety of his debut, 2015’sBlue Neighbourhood, a no-skips album! Feeling ready for the summer? Turn “Lucky Strike” all the way up. And if you happen to see me jamming to “Bloom” for the billionth time, no you didn’t. —Benjamin VanHoose, Digital News Writer
Genera+ion(HBO Max)Gritty teen dramas can miss the mark trying to capture a younger crowd’s experiences, but HBO Max’sGenera+iongets it mostly right with its honest, unflinching take. What sets it apart, though, is its humor. Plus the ensemble’s lead, Justice Smith, owns every scene. Who knew a high school gay-straight alliance club could supply so many juicy storylines? (Sarcasm!) New episodes return June 17. —Benjamin VanHoose, Digital News Writer
Kim Petras.
Kim Petras (Music)Woo-ah! Ever listen to a song and it transports you back to a specific time or a certain place in your life? Listening toKim Petrasis like living the best years of your life all over again within a three minute timespan. The 28-year-old songstress has a way of creating a slew of euphoric bops that, for me, transport me back to summer days as a teen, where I was without a care in the world. From summery jams such as “Malibu” and “Hillside Boys,” Petras also stuns on cooler classics like “Icy” and super sexy hits like “Do Me.” And who could ignore her ICONIC Halloween-themed albumTurn Off the Light.With a mix of sounds and experiences, the pop star, who’s transgender, has something for everyone to enjoy. —Nicholas Rice, Digital News Writer
