"I know what every gay guy in your life did last weekend. No, it wasn't cooking Ina Garten's stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving, listening to the new Rosalía album on repeat, or posting "like for the alt" on X. (Okay, they probably did those things too). What every gay guy did last weekend, at least those with HBO Max subscriptions, was watch Heated Rivalry, a slutty romance about two hockey players if not in love then at least in very graphic lust."
"In the group shower after the shoot, as water washes down their perfectly pert hockey asses, furtive glances turn into Ilya full-on pulling his hog in front of Shane, who doesn't say no. He says, "Not here." This is the first 15 minutes of the series, and there is already full on jerking and it's not subtle. The frame cuts off right above where Ilya's hand would be, as if you only needed to scroll down on your OnlyFans screen"
Heated Rivalry is a Canadian streaming series adapted from Rachel Reid's romance novels that skyrocketed on HBO Max charts after debuting with two episodes. The show centers on hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov whose initial hostility turns into overt sexual encounters, beginning in a graphic group-shower scene. The explicit intimacy propelled social-media attention and drove viewers to Amazon to buy the novels. The series' initial episodes premiered on Crave and drew crossover viewership from HBO Max subscribers. Fan enthusiasm and viral online sharing concentrated around the erotic content and chemistry between the leads.
