Since I really have nothing new to add to the Heated Rivalry discussion that I haven't said in our previous posts on the hot queer hockey romance, since as I said previously I'm saving the show for a good stiff binge over the holiday break, let's take a couple of side-jaunts now here that we have the show's breakout stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams reenacting controversial those Calvin Klein pornography advertisments on the cover of GQ magazine -- okay maybe this first thing isn't a side-jaunt because... WHAT? I'd heard this show had been building as a word-of-mouth hit but who could've foreseen this level of steamy gayness front and center in American Culture? The cover of GQ?
I did not think I'd live to see the day, honestly. (And it is still early in the day, given the way of the world, so let's not get ahead of ourselves too far.) But by all accounts this show's really busted into the mainstream in a way most gay shit does not -- they talked about it on The View! Which yes means a big part of this is that straight women are enjoying it, but that really is a shift in culture -- that straight American women are openly, happily admitting that the sight of two men in flagrente doesn't gross them out now. Even a decade ago this was not the case. (Well except one of my good friends. You know who you are, darlin!)
Anyway that's cool. The other thing, the actual side-jaunt I wanted to take, was -- what shows should I watch over the break? I have this one, I have Pluribus, I have Boots (RIP Boots). I know there are even more but I'm blanking. Generally just assume I haven't seen anything new lately and recommend me some stuff to watch over the break. And in return I'll gift you all these photos after this break...

going a little feral about these
Wow! This is insane. Is it me or do they lowkey look like Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze?
Nature is healing.
I believe that the TV series Boots was superior to this one, and the main actors were openly Homosexuals.
This series is just soft porn and nothing more than that, IMHO.
I repeat, this is just porn people.
I hope you'll post a review or comments once you've seen it Jason. The reviewer at Pajiba seemed clueless as to why elite hockey players would put up with being in the closet. LOL. The whole show must have gone over their head.
it’s essentially soft core porn with some hockey scenes sprinkled in and Hallmark movie-level acting.
There are many women who are fans of this show. These are probably the same that think straight guys who find lesbian porn hot are creepy.
"Why can’t queer artists and audiences indulge in the same romantic fantasy and forbidden love thrills as heterosexuals have been doing for ages? Why does every piece of queer media bear the responsibility of answering to something bigger than itself? Why can’t it exist on its own terms?"

The Film Experience is the voice of reason in a troubled world.
I wonder how long it will take them to introduce their beards?
Jesus some of you are catty clueless bitches. The last episode is one of the highest ranked episodes of television of ALL TIME on IMDB so I question whether you have actually watched it.
I repeat, catty clueless bitches.
Havent seen a gaybaiting press run like this since Nick Jonas in 2014-2015 🥲🥲🥲 the new generation has taken the mantle
Live a little... straight women loving 2 men fall in love being seen as men drooling over lesbians but still being homophobic is not the same. I can't be bothered to even reply to that comment smfh.
I've never been a fan of sex scenes because I feel like they add nothing to the plot. But granted the pace of the storyline moved so fast since the 1st season is only 6 episodes long, I found the sex scenes showed half of how the dynamic between the 2 were progressing. There are so many sex scenes because they didn't explore a romantic connection at first, it was purely sexual due to them thinking that was the only way they could explore their same-sex attraction towards each other to keep it lowkey. Obvious af.

Heatedrivarly fans are just a bunch of fujoshis and gooner gay guys.
I gave the series a try over the holidays, and the acting is pretty bad, but I guess people don't watch the series for the acting, right? 😁
Ask yourself why all the so-called "queer" media (calling it queer already should give it a very heavy handed political stance and not make it a quirky shitty BL shipping crap) that has the more success is the one that is pumped by fangirls online and their fucked up idea of their gay pets.
