Don’t be mad at me but I have Heated Rivalry a go and could not get into it! But having said that, I am all for men touching each other!

I’ve not read *loads* around this but found the Russian POV especially interesting, given ongoing LGBTQ+ challenges there. It seems like it’s been wildly successful, so I guess Connor Storrie is doing a good job of reading his Russian lines phonetically! https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/heated-rivalry-russian-lgbt-experience

Not even phonetically. He’s a linguist and spent 4 hours a day learning Russian throughout filming. Russian extras thought he was Russian! There were two words he said that made my ‘accent ears’ prick up so I googled him and he’s from Texas!! So impressed.

I read that article too. Find it fascinating that a small show has such an impact in so many ways.

Ha, I was going to tell you that Audrey abandoned it - but you’ll be pleased to know I stuck with it!

I get it. A few of my friends struggled with it but I say keep going!!! Yes, there’s a lot of sex at the beginning and the time line is so fast it’s hard to keep up {Pun intended} but the storyline gets better and from episode 4 onwards there’s no leaving them on the sidelines {very proud of my sports metaphor there 🤓}
