"Boots follows 13 Reasons Why star Miles Heizer as Cameron Cope, a closeted teen who signs up to the US Marine Corps' bootcamp, after struggling with a sense of purpose in his home life. While there, with his best friend Ray (newcomer Liam Oh), he learns that this isn't summer camp - it's tough, grueling, and grimly homophobic. Boots is set in 1990, when being gay in the US armed forces was illegal."
"At the end of the eight-part series, Cameron and the remaining recruits pass the bootcamp training, with Sullivan admitting that his berating of Cameron came from a place of wanting the young recruit to succeed. The final episode shows the successful recruits celebrating, while news breaks on the TV that Iraq has invaded Kuwait, as it did in real life in 1990."
Boots premiered on Netflix on 9 October. The series follows Cameron Cope, a closeted teen who enlists in US Marine Corps bootcamp in 1990 seeking purpose. Bootcamp proves harsh, grueling, and grimly homophobic; Cameron forges bonds with fellow recruit Ray and endures abuse from Sgt. Sullivan, a tyrannical leader who harbors a deep secret. Cameron's resilience grows as relationships develop and he proves his ability to succeed if his sexuality remains hidden. The eight-part finale has the recruits pass training, Sullivan explain his harshness, and a TV bulletin about Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, leaving several plotlines unresolved.
