Heated Rivalry

I jumped on the bandwagon of the hit series “Heated Rivalry” and now it is the only thing I can talk about. I watched the 6 episode series in 2 days and actually rewatched portions of it AGAIN because it was that good. Heated Rivalry, on HBOMax, is Canadian sports romance tv series that follows two rival professional hockey players that have a secretive and passionate romance. There are a LOT of sex scenes, like a LOT, but I have not seen such a powerful series like this in a very long time.

 

You don’t have to like hockey to watch it. The emotions, the love story, the relationships, so good.

Binged. Worth it.

The two main actors — both were phenomenal. And you will see them a lot more in the future. They are SUPER STARS.

 

I highly highly highly recommend it. I can’t stop thinking about it, going back and watching scenes, and hope that it has a ripple effect on closeted professional athletes that will help people become more secure in their truths and people more accepting. A very powerful show. Interesting articles to read about the show here and here.

Serial

Confession: The past week I have not been holiday shopping, running, sleeping, or socializing. Instead, I have been listening to “Serial” from start to end in 4 days time. Some of you may know what I am talking about — the story line, the who, the what, the details. Others, may think I am referring to “cereal” and not understanding my mish-mash-grammar (not the first time). So what is it, for those of you not on the band wagon? Serial is a podcast from WBEZ Chicago. It is a spin off from “This American Life” about a real true story murder mystery of a reporter piecing back together a murder and trial in Baltimore, Maryland from 1999. I first read about it on many different blogs, then the NYTimes, and then I wanted to fit in, so I did it. I downloaded the podcast and I just sat and listened. To say I was hooked is a lie — I was engrossed and obsessed. I started on a Friday and finished on a Tuesday — all 10 episodes that were available then (they come out each Thursday). And LORD, is it GOOD!!!!
