John Campbell manages the Los Angeles IT team at Netflix (which everyone at Netflix affectionately calls the "nerd team"). John has a fear of letting down his team, and the boys want him to be more confident.
We won't give too much away, but what we will say is that it really is incredible how emotional these guys can make you feel in less than 7 minutes!

Heated Rivalry

        Crave
    
For months, buzz has been building for the steamy gay hockey romance Heated Rivalry, based on the erotic gay novel by Rachel Reid and following the rivals-to-lovers journey of superstar hockey players Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams). But one glaring question has remained unanswered—until today: How will American audiences be able to watch the show?
Today, HBO announced that the highly anticipated series—originally created for the Canadian streaming service Crave—will also stream on HBO Max beginning November 28. The series will debut with a two-episode premiere, followed by weekly episodes, with the finale airing on December 26.

We love the full rainbow of sapphic and lesbian characters. We live for our bisexual gals, our nonbinary sapphics, our queer WLWs, our trans lezzies, and everyone in between. But sometimes, you want to see the L in LGBTQ+ shine.
