This is the first sitcom to follow a family of villains instead of heroes. Every character is extremely complex and chaotic; however, the family balances each other out. Jake (Reed Hortsmann) is hilarious in the way that he\u2019s the only family member who wants to be normal. Amy (Isabella Pappas) is a headstrong powerful girl who works for what she wants. She and Jake balance each other so well, considering they\u2019re as opposite as possible. Amy\u2019s friendship with next-door neighbor Hartley steals the show. Audiences can see themselves in both Amy and Hartley, and we\u2019re left wanting more of their friendship. The chemistry between parents Eva and Vic is strong. We don\u2019t know much about their history together but every so often there\u2019s a heartwarming scene that gives insight about the relationship between them. Eva and Vic are the most unlikely couple the Disney Channel has ever had, and they\u2019re quite possibly the best, too. There\u2019s never a dull moment in&nbsp;<em>The Villains of Valley View.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Heather S. interviews Malachi Barton and Reed Hortsmann about The Villains of Valley View\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lIjlyV7y2oQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the messages in this series include things such as Amy teaching her friends and family that it\u2019s okay to be yourself and that you don\u2019t have to fit in to society\u2019s norms. Amy owns who she is, her style and her villain background, and is completely unapologetic. Meanwhile, Hartley shows Amy that there\u2019s always good in the world and to have a positive outlook on life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Heather S.
