24 分钟Okay guys, so when we decided that we were going to have this conversation about the show,
he did rivalry,
I was like, oh, let me start watching the trailer for the show at my desk at work.
And then you got an HR violation.
Well, I started watching the trailer and was like, oh no.
And then I was like, let me go into an office and start watching and then that was too much.
I ended up just staying up until one o'clock in the morning last night.
because it seems like that's the only right way to do it.
I think that's right.
You need the kiddos in bed before you can turn on this show and fully enjoy it to the maximum potential.
From the newsroom of the Washington Post, this is Post Reports.

It's Thursday, December 18th.
Today, we are talking about heated rivalry.
It's a new show on HBO Max that has been getting a lot of attention.
It follows two young male pro hockey players,
the reserved and cautious Canadian Shane Hollander and the brash and cocky Russian Ilya Rosinoff.
In public, they are fierce competitors, and in private, they nurture a blossoming romance.
The show is based on a book that has now reached the New York Times bestseller list and the TV adaptation has shot to the top of HBO Max's viewing charts.
Part of what's got everybody talking about this show is how this relationship is depicted.
