This show is incredible. Episode five doesn’t have sex and it’s the best episode of tv this year.

Yea it is. If the sex scenes were hetero you'd say it was porn. They're over the top and unnecessary.


I'm guessing you don't really watch porn, especially gay porn.

It's basically gay porn.

Episode 5 was great! I'm really looking forward to Episode 6. I've read the book so know what's coming but the show is such a great adaptation. The music, the lighting, the actors - all amazing!

I've been watching and I think it's really well done! I read Heated Rivalry earlier this year, and the show is a great adaptation.

I was aware of the books having a big following and am so glad this show is so wildly popular. The first four shows span years of the relationship, that's mostly conducted by text, it seems. I'm enjoying it a lot!

The actors are posting a ton on social media and they seem to have a great rapport.

Anyone else watching? I know people who wait up until midnight when the new episode comes out!
