Heated Rivalry

@PozToxVersPig that is what makes art art …. It leaves some people totally cold … and goes straight through the heart of others (and every emotion in between)

if it had the same effect (affect?) on everyone… it would not be “art” it would just be some sort of mind controlling propaganda

@onlyraw This "art" you speak of - what is that? 😀😄😍

I don't expect everyone to have the same opinion or experience the same impact of anything.

Heated Rivalry was not for Breeding.Zone community. They didn't use condoms, but they didn't "fuck" either.  This was not porn as the female Intimacy Coordinator was a few feet away. Hudson was injured in their first sex scene in Las Vegas. Each wore the "cock-sleeve" during filming, but Hudson declined the extra protection for his rear and Connor's balls were slapping up against him. Connor had to use a bigger pad.

It was not eligible for an Emmy because Jacob kept it 💯 Canadian and funded with  Canadian tax dollars. Series of books written by Rachel, but the TV show was written by Jacob. Rachel was involved throughout the process including the first 2 screenings in Toronto and Montreal. 

Jacob shopped around Hollywood and promoters said no sex scenes until the 5th episode. It would have been very different and not the Novelty it became.

It did win TV series at the GLAAD Awards last Sunday Night in LA after Connor hosted Saturday Night Live in New York the day before. Hudson made a brief cameo and gave Connor an emotional hug at the end. Jacob and Connor's mom and sister were in the audience. Hudson missed the awards show, but Scott, Kip, Ilya and our 3 supporting female actors  attended with Jacob accepting the award.

There were no sad storylines or tragedies but took the viewers on some emotional roller-coasters and brought gay characters with depth and reality to the general public. We were represented as full individuals and not just 1-2 character types.

The 3 "Empty Netters" did an excellent review with notes and commentary for each episode, though they did not show any scenes from the TV show. They work on scripts/productions in LA and comfortable with the storylines.

Good news for fans is everyone has signed on for season 2 with filming to start August 2026 and set to air in spring 2027. It is still a Crave production filmed in Canada. Will HBO pick it up again? HBO is part of Warner Brothers and being merged into Paramount.

I will never watch that garbage show. I played hockey when I was young, and I guarantee you that there are no gays playing ice hockey. And I guarantee you that every fucking guy playing hockey is a bully who hates fags. Pretending otherwise  makes my blood boil. Pretending that they're like us, when in fact, they're the one beat us up.

I'm Canadian, and I'm a fan. Bing watched it twice in one weekend. 

I would critique that it buys too heavily into the romantic monogamous myth of heterosexual relationships, and relys too heavily on all the guys being gorgeous. 

Don't misunderstand me, I love eye candy as much as anyone. And for the graphic nature of the sex scenes their beauty is a turn on.

I was disappointed there was no full frontal, but neither was I surprised. I look forward to the porn knock-offs ..  especially when some cheating and bb orgy action is added. Hollander is too receptive a bottom to be satisfied by one hunks cock,  no matter how seductive that hunks Russian accent!

My favorite scene is in episode 5 when Hallander's girlfriend so gently draws him out of the closet. And her reaction to his confession that he prefers to take it up the ass is priceless.

The acting is such high quality The dialog so ruch. The emotions are so real. The character development delightful. I was drawn in deeply.

In my group of Canadian friends someone only needs to say "wolf bird" and we are all in stitches. 

I know this series is not for everyone, but I'll be near the front of the line to see season 2.

Does your guarantee include Dan James?

He provided a DEEP DIVE (90-120 minutes) of each episode including one with his husband. He talked about the triggers and his emotional reaction to the series and how it reflected his own lived experiences. He is Gay, and did play professional Hockey.

The 2 actors are NOT professional hockey players. Their first time on the ice the 5 year old kids were skating around them. Connor had difficulty finding available ice rinks in Los Angeles. Hudson lives in Canada 🇨🇦
