#Pride Month is a good time to make time to watch "Heated Rivalry" on HBO Max. Six episodes. Five hours. Even if it doesn't grab you in episode 1 or 2, it will by 3 or 4, and then episodes 5 and 6 will just blow you away. This show is unapologetic, unflinching, and a work of art.

#HeatedRivalry is the MOST nominated program for the #TelevisionCriticsAwards this year. Nominations include Best Program and nods to both Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams.

Photo from Heated Rivalry featuring two men sitting on a bed. This is my favourite Hollanov scene from 1x05 where Shane & Ilya really talk about their relationship. Heated Rivalry just posted on IG that they got a slew of nominations from the TCA this year. Turns out the critics couldn’t resist the rivalry either.

Heated Rivalry is one of this year’s most nominated programs by the Television Critics Association, earning nominations for Program of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Drama, Outstanding New Program, and Individual Achievement in Drama for Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams.

We’re incredibly honoured by the recognition.

heated rivalry being the most nominated show of the year is such a satisfying win for everyone who saw how special it was early on. those acting nods for connor and hudson feel especially earned. love when a show people genuinely cared about gets the recognition to match.

At a guess: Colbert, The Pitt, Widow's Bay, Rhea Seehorn. But it could go a lot of ways
