Victor & Valentino (2019–2022)
4/10
Formulaic monster of the week show
16 October 2020
What started off as a Hispanic monster of the week show has become hispanic Scooby doo.

Victor and valentino, in the beginning, was a show about two boys, victor and valentino (who have a disputed relationship, as the show says they are half brothers but then doubles down on that) who pretty much save their town of monte macabre (MONTY-MACAB) on a regular basis.

This show has a formula that it follows pretty strictly with little variation. One of the characters is doing something (some episodes skip this part) Something (be it one of the other characters, or an external force) causes the character(s) to kickstart the plot. Monster is introduced. The problem is introduced a short time after. Time. Problem solved (status quo)

In earlier episodes, it was a bit (a lot) less obvious that it followed this formula, plus the writing didn't make tap water seem like one of mankind's groundbreaking achievements. Now its quite literally like Scooby-Doo

or Power Rangers but animated because monster of the week, cheesy writing and formulaic plots (but i like power rangers, it was meant to be that way)
