I realize that I'm a little bit late to the Heated Rivalry party, but I did show up. After all of the buzz surrounding the new series (Season 1 is available to watch streaming with an HBO Max subscription), combined with CinemaBlend's Riley Utley raving about hockey romance drama, I had to check it out. And yes, I powered through all six episodes faster than... a really fast hockey player chases a puck.* While it didn't surprise me that the show was great, what did was the big swing the series took with Episode 3, and the fact that it actually worked. And that's about as spoiler-free as I can get. From this point forward, major Heated Rivalry Season 1 spoilers ahead!
*I'm going to try to not make too many bad hockey jokes, references and puns (like how sp-icy this show is), but I might not be able to help myself.
