I'm back from a long break and what a phenomenal show and movie to come back to. I've certainly had a lot of experience with frenemies in my life, and participated in  perplexing, frustrating romances where I bickered, bantered and got annoyed regularly, yet couldn't stay away. These stories embody that frenemies to lovers trope perfectly, so if you crave delayed gratification, casual betrayals and slow burning, combustible intimacy that fixes it all in your romance, start streaming ASAP. 

CW: this episode is quite explicit

I hesitate to post this trailer because as usual, it doesn't begin to capture the tone and incendiary hotness of this fantastic series.

The hockey romance series that started it all.

Excellent interview with Connor Storrie & Hudson Williams with Carly Lane of Collider (a past guest on this show).

 "...it’s kind of crazy to have to learn how to skate, play hockey, speak Russian and do the accent and you don’t even know until a week before." If you are as shocked as I am that Connor Storrie did not actually grow up as a hockey playing Russian, here's an interview that explains how it all came about.

To survive, they'll have to team up. Why yes, this does make the wedding season sound like a contact sport.

How was I not aware of Emmy-nominated Maya Erskine?
