You guys are seriously overestimating this 
There's plenty of objectively good gay content out there; Heated Rivalry is not one of them

Not estimating anything. Just giving my personal opinion on the show.

Eh... They’ve gotten better recently, but it’s still rare to find a good show with a gay main character. They end up being portrayed like a caricature.
Heated Rivalry didn’t do that and is hands down the best “gay show” I’ve ever watched.

This is Going to Hurt is one of the better anecdotal-gay shows I've seen.
As far as 'gay movies' (ie. media about gay experience), my personal favorites
God's Own County
A Single Man
Love, Simon (probably the most accurate for late millennials)
Cuatro Lunas (also quite honest)
Brokeback Mountain (though obvious)

The only one on that list I’ve seen is Love,Simon. I did really enjoy that one.
Somehow I’ve never watched Brokeback Mountain lol.

Sounds Gay AF!
I watched a little of the first three episodes and I thought of Norm McDonald’s review of Interview with a Vampire and it “Not being gay enough…”
Well after the episodes I watched, the official Norm review might be “Too gay for my eyes.”

Now having not finished the series or read the book.
I would assume the main character eventually has to find a traditional partner as to avoid the gay stereotype.
I could see the Canadian Hockey player be the one who can’t get it up for a woman.
On a similar story arc of gays who have gay tendencies, but are led to a “straight” life. Nate in Euphoria had a stash of dick pics on his phone and yet he was the one playing the alpha straight male football player and fricking two at least different chicks at school, Maddie and Cassie.
Euphoria gets a little more ficked up.
Nate’s dad, Cal, was fricking trannies in cheap motels and recording the sessions. Before Nate and his brother were born, Cal developed a gay love interest in a teammate and sealed the gay deal before he left for college, leading to his gay tendencies.
The morning after sealing the gay deal, Cal finds out he got his girlfriend pregnant. He was forced to step back into the straight life until he built up wealth and started to frick trannies. Which by the way his son found his dad’s stash as a kid, and watched the discs which probably fricked his mind up about girls and his fascination of peens.
Nate eventually turned his dad into police after finding out one of his classmates was a victim, if I recall at the end of Season 2.

Damn too predictable…I watched Episode 4 and - spoiler alert - he couldn’t finish inside a chick.
Now I have to watch the last two episodes.
That is what sucks with streaming.
Shows will only have 6-10 episodes instead of a full run of TV episodes that used to have over 20 episodes.
There are only 6 episodes in this series. And it is not an excuse to say well it is commercial free so an hour show is 55 plus in content where a tv series may only be 45-50 minutes with ad breaks.
Bet it has to do with money, at a time once a show hit 3 full seasons most actors were laughing all the way to the bank as their contracts got bigger because now syndication revenue would enter the revenue pool that a show generates.
Now with streaming, series don’t make it to syndication because of too few episodes would be produced and streamer would control distribution, the only revenue for the show will come from that streamer that licensed the show. It also probably controls the royalties for each stream meaning actors and musicians get less instead of what they could have received from a full run on network TV and syndication.
It is funny in a way, but not really for their livelihoods to see some producers or a writer open checks for a penny for work they did on one show.

It was made for a small Canadian network and picked up about two weeks before air date by HBO. I don’t think they expected the amount of attention by any stretch and was pretty low budget.

But the gay part of the show is some Hollywood writer faggy fan fiction fantasy.
Meanwhile Sunday morning you are running downstairs rock hard ready to watch grown men tackle each other in tights while wearing a jersey with another man’s name on it

While not a "gay" show, Season 1, Episode 3 of The Last of Us is one of the best episodes of TV I've seen. Yes, the couple is gay, but it wouldn't make any difference whether they were or not. It does a perfect job of showing a wonderful relationship trying to live a normal life in the midst of the chaos.
