The plot and description of the episodes (spoiler)
The show focuses on Victor Salazar, a teenager who is trying to understand his sexuality, adjusting to his family's recent move to Atlanta and the transition to the new Creekwood High School. Victor is trying to adapt to his new city and is exploring his sexual orientation. The guy keeps a big secret - he thinks he might be gay. Victor heard the story of a former Creekwood student Simon, who publicly declared his love for his now boyfriend Bram. At the same time, Victor and Simon exchange messages on social networks about life at school.
In the finale of the first season (spoiler!) Victor finally confessed his romantic feelings for classmate Benji Campbell, and then came out in front of his parents.
According to one of the showrunners Brian Tanen, the writers plan to "push the boundaries" in the second season:
“If the first season is the story of a young man figuring out who he is and what he wants, then the second season can be more exciting in terms of what happens next: love, first relationship, first sexual experiences. All multi-faceted teenage experiences, but told through a gay lens. "
