and i'm loving the show. i think Jacob Tierny and everyone are doing a really great job of digging into the source material and elevating it even further. there's a lot more nuance happening here and it's been so great to watch

don't get me wrong, Game Changer manages to come together pretty well at the end and i enjoy Scott and Kip, but Heated Rivalry is just miles better with Shane and Ilya feeling like real characters instead of like...idk. Scott and Kip felt like they only existed for sex in the first half of the book.

and then you have HR, which is arguably more explicit but it's done with more care and intention for the characters. and it highlights all my favorite stuff about MM romance. very interesting stuff lol

that final scene of ep 2 in the hotel room i think represents the story really well: sexy, reflective, and emotional.

like it's okay to stop watching the show 😭😭😭

be critical all you want but the nastiness they have towards him def goes wayyyyyy too far 90% of the time

i've said it a million times, that fandom is mostly a fan of the fanfic and not the show. the stories they write are great but don't work in the context of the network procedural that show is
