#THIS WAS A FUCKING ROOOOOMAAAAAAANCE moment #one of those moments when i knew jacob tierney Got the genre #bc this look of conflict and desire and the fact that shane CANNOT SEE IT #it's that and the big spiel in russian where it's like... this is why dual POV in a romance is so important and 9/10 times the better choic #(w exceptions!) #if you're a perceptive audience member (and not everyone is lol) you can tell that shane is not getting the full picture #you know that ilya's feelings are real and intense #but shane not knowing and YOU knowing makes the tension even better (tags via @mermaidsirennikita)

glad to see people enjoying the gay sex hockey show but get you facts rights HBO has nothing to do with this it's a beautiful Crave original funded by the Canadian gov and paid for with my taxes 🫵

the problem with the gay hockey show is that the acting is great, the lighting is great, the music and costuming are great, the care taken is incredible, but you can't recommend it to normal people without sounding like a pervert

[lovebitbot]

ok. i know i am late. but quite frankly i did not know it was possible to make television like heated rivalry episode 4. i just didn't know it was allowed.

[lovebitbot]

wow. just wow. 10/10

I’m really in love with how a low budget, 37 days of filming, unknown actors and a committed director have made heated rivalry such an international success that even Netflix’s two biggest shows Bridgerton and stranger things aren’t on the same level. it goes to show that you can spend years and put millions of dollars at stake but that shoestring budget gay hockey show is still more of a success. this is what happens when you care about your craft and you’re not in the business just to make money. I’m not saying that’s all that Netflix does but even with Netflix’s big shows, everyone is still going back to the cottage. care about what you make. you don’t need to throw millions of dollars or take two to three years for every season. you don’t need to split seasons. the reason I fell in love with film at such a young age in the first place was because I cared about what I watched. I care about the art, how a film or show is portrayed, I care about the details. please let my fav gay hockey show continue to set the bar vastly high.

genuinely i do think it's crazy how this show hit every single mark for no reason other than pure love of the game. like this wasn't a money grab and it didn't think it would be a big success, jacob just read a book he enjoyed and thought huh i think that would be a cool thing to make into a tv show. and then he brought on hudson and connor and they're fresh and passionate and not bogged down by the industry yet and they instantly became best friends and wanted to just have fun bringing these characters to life. and they didn't have a huge budget but they did the most with what they had and everybody took the show seriously and everybody took the book seriously. the cinematographer worked his magic. the music supervisor managed to snag a well-known queer hit and an up and coming new release and old school gems that have been around since the 2000s. it's canadian to the core, built from the ground up. it takes russians and the russian language seriously. it uses sex in such a specific, meaningful way that almost no other show has done thus far, and especially not in a queer context like this. they interlaced every episode with callbacks and parallelism and self-references. they didn't take themselves too seriously. they took everything so seriously. there is love and care baked into the core of this show and it's deeply queer and it doesn't shy away from the horrors of toxic masculinity and hockey culture but it is also, always, a story of joy and love and happiness. and on top of everything, it's almost word for word, the original source material from the book.

like damn it's no wonder this thing has made us all insufferable and become a huge fucking success! so few productions in hollywood are doing it like this!!!
