What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Love finds Victor

Love, Victor

Hello there! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, June 15!

Our Top Pick tonight is the final season of the cute dramedy Love, Victor (Hulu, 3 a.m.), the TV spinoff of the movie Love, Simon. The show tells the story of high school teenager Victor Salazar (Michael Cimino) as he comes out to his friends and family, but whose deeply religious parents struggle to accept his new truth. In Victor's journeys and awakenings, he writes to his pen pal Simon Spier, who he read about and frequently seeks guidance from. The teen characters are certainly teenagers at times, but I enjoy them. Crushes. Young love. I'm a sucker for it.

Elsewhere, Kamala Khan is a Marvel, Ben Falcone plays an Idiot, The Flash races another speedster, Netflix seeks an Iron Legend, the 1996 U.S. Women's Olympic basketball team gets 30 for 30 treatment, Kung Fu is fighting, and sportsballs drops pucks.
