Since everyone is talking about it on other threads, it’s time this got a thread of its own…

Bring on the Shane/Ilya and Scott/Kip love!

Now we have a thread on it. I hope there's discussion about the show because I haven't seen it yet.

I'm just waiting for the 6 episodes to air so I can binge them!

It's doing incredibly well on HBO Max and Crave has renewed it for season 2!

Cool!!! I wasn't completely sure about the renewal.

Thank you, @OzFrog

Can you tell me where it's also been discussed? On what threads?

Because this show is FIRE. It's the best gay series I've ever seen.

You have no idea what you're in for. None.

It's hockey smut but it's also so romantic it's unreal. There's lust and there's intense love and yearning, and the guys are beyond beautiful and sexy.

I know I sound dramatic and melodramatic, but this show is so moving and so "I want them together" that I can't explain.

Can not wait to see it!

Thanks for the added info of the show.

I'm going to tag @Jeff . I think he might be interested.😁

Someone sent me this. It really piqued my interest too.😂

Both actors are incredibly hot and have hockey asses -- which means they are unbelievable. IG is filled with gifs and memes and photos.

Hudson Williams (on the left) is straight in real life. Connor Stories (right) is cagey about his sexuality, but the many You Tube videos make it clear he's gay.

Storrie is from Texas, but his Russian accent is perfect, and he plays it so butch and alpha it's amazing.

The lives of both guys have blown up. The media attention is off the charts and everything they do goes viral.

I had read that Connor Storrie was from Texas. From the pictures I've seen of him, he is very hot. Hudson is handsome as well.

Connor and Hudson walked into a gay bar last week unannounced and the place went wild. Connor said "Thank you for tweeting about our butts."

A very solid show.

Episode 5… I have only seen snippets on social media, but already I’m an emotional wreck!

Ok I might have embellished just a tiny bit, but to be fair, social media had been in a total meltdown on this for a few weeks now, and I thought it would already be a hot topic here! But alas only a few mentions on the What Are You Streamin/Watching thread - I was shocked that no one had created a thread for it here, so I took the proverbial plunge!

I also think this is the best queer TV show ever made - I’ve not had a show sink so deep into my veins ever.

@All My Shadows - you’ve also been watching this, haven’t you??

If only someone would smile at me with such joy as Ilya Rozanov smiles at Shane Hollander… ❤️🫠

I agree. I've never felt this way watching a queer show before. It makes me deliriously happy while being gut wrenching at the same time. "All the feels" should have been saved for this series.

I highly recommend two You Tube creators -- Empty Netters and What Chaos.

Both are hockey shows led by straight guys who discuss each episode. They are interesting, they are mature, they are evolved, and they are true allies. I find myself becoming emotional listening to them because it's how I want the world to be. These guys are beyond incredible.

Commenters on their pages are showing them so much love for their reviews and for being allies, and it's all so heartwarming. They're returning the love right back.

Be still my beating heart - I can’t with these two 🫠
