I haven't seen any of these, but that Heated Rivalry clip looking like it came straight out of p*rn

Real porn >>>

I enjoyed all of them.

Story wise HR is a garbage/smut/beach read of a TV show, but it's sexy and fun. Boots had a much better story and arc and well developed characters. Over Compensating is very fun, but I do find BS looking 35 in college immersion breaking.

I'd say Boots > HR > Overcompensating. But truly like them all.

Overcompensating > Boots > Heated Rivalry

I enjoyed the sense of humor in Overcompensating a lot and it felt very unique to watch.

Boots was kinda your typical coming of age drama.

Heated Rivalry - I came in excited to watch since there was so much hype... I was a bit disappointed when it was primarily smut. Now that my expectations have lowered a bit it's a cute - just not for me.

I'm still not done with HR but I voted for Overcompensating because I like comedies and it is the one that felt like it was made the most for gays.

HR is so far second.

Boots felt very average for me.

Boots > HR > Overcompensating

Boots because it is telling a story from the 1980s-1990s of a gay guy's experience (from an actual gay marine) maneuvering life in the military. It is not a love story, just a couple of guys deciding how they want to live their life. I am tired of enemies to lovers' storylines, and overcompensating was just campy fun to watch. However, Boots delivers on what it sets out to do. No happy ending, just a decision to pursue what they want. The mother who begrudging sticks close to military to watch over her child, despite telling him that the government is going to use and discard him. It is less smut and, more coming of age. I actually liked the building of a brotherhood between the boys.

Heated Rivalry does nothing for me currently. I love LA, Robin Hood (girl the drama), and Pluribus have me satisfied.

Also, the way y'all forgot this EXCELLENT show. Better than all three combined.
