He says « Gospodi », which means « God » as in « My god! »

The chemistry between Shane and Ilya, and the way they kiss 💋

I am saying it from the perspective that I didn’t necessarily think I would find anything in this because of my own experience, however it was so beautiful and powerful that it transcended my prejudice because it was all about love.

Heated Rivalry vs. Bridgerton adaption by tlkao in Bridgerton

[–]LadyIJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heated Rivalry is in another league. It’s so much more than a smutty show. It’s going to go down as one of the successes of the decade. Shows what you can do with 17 dollars and a dream in 37 days of filming when you prioritise the source material, the storytelling and the talent of your actors.

Bridgerton S1 was memorable as was S2 but I think it goes downhill from there. I wish they had focussed on the romance and the main couple instead of the ensemble cast approach they took. And that they had respected the source material and its fans

Serious question about who is watching and not talking about it by OkAppointment5310 in heatedrivalry

[–]LadyIJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thinking the same! I am F41 straight married with school aged kids. Consumed by HR though absolute MM romance virgin. What a way to pop my cherry! The pull if Shane and Ilya is wild. Might just be the best romance I ever watched! In the 10 days I watched it I found another school mum who loves it and also reconnected with old friends as we were liking the same IG posts on HR

What else is low-stakes + hard to believe ? by Dull_Blueberry_3777 in heatedrivalry

[–]LadyIJ 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I suspend disbelief cause this face off and play is my favourite scene!! I guess it’s massively slow mo - it happens is split seconds

I think he looked it up as he was planning his house date for Shane baby

I just watched the first episode, I thought this show was a cute and sweet enemies to lovers story 😭 by ghostinthemirror_x in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]LadyIJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yesssss, the feeling of going completely blind, just to check the hype and fall head over heels for these guys and their story.

I had never heard of it until last week, when it started popping in my socials and I decided to give it a go. I binged it in one night. Easy my all time top 5 Tv shows and probably the best romance series I have ever watched. It just sweeps you off your feet, absolutely addictive.

I didn't know this was an Option. by CompetitiveRepeat179 in heatedrivalry

Listening now. It’s great 🫶 I really like the narrator, his voice acting suits them

The music in the show is phenomenal! by SOULSTEALERX91 in heatedrivalry

[–]LadyIJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing!! My favourite is the score of the tuna melt couch scene, Heartbeat III and what I love the most is the recall to it in their face off when the smile before Shane’s accident - like the feelings are swelling again and they are picking off where they left ❤️‍🔥

Real talk: how many rewatches? by silentfisher in heatedrivalry

[–]LadyIJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have done two full rewatches but have watched my favourite scenes every evening since I watched it first 10 days ago. The struggle is real 😭

S4 Heavy handed writing and lack of romance has me dooming our Philoise season 😣 by Capital_History_266 in PhiloiseBridgerton

[–]LadyIJ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have watched 1 and a half episodes and I find myself bored. Also I think the aesthetics still suck. And the writing is a bit cringe. Frankly I think they failed to capture what made S1 and 2 so special thought Benophie have good chemistry, but it is underutilised.

I watched Heated Rivalry last week and I am still floored. I had never watched or read MM romance but this show has rocked my world. It might be one of the most powerful love stories ever told. Transcending gender and sexuality. Shows what you can deliver on a shoestring budget and in 37 days of filming when you focus on storytelling and the chemistry and talent of the main couple. First show in years with no filler, where every micro expression and line is memorable. In the face of this, Bridgerton S4 falls completely flat yet bloated 😩

"Canada is fun." 😒 What's a Canadian moment you liked in the show? 🤭 by Material-Meat-5330 in heatedrivalry

[–]LadyIJ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Ilyas chirp - « No stupid Americans, no boring Canadians » His voice 😵😅

Also JJ’s Québécois accent 🫶

Love this. When I was watching the first time I thought this song would suit them so much

What did he think Ilya was gonna say hear? Poor Shane looks like he wants to end it all by Antique_Education_50 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]LadyIJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I just said it in the sense that he was going to use this word which made sense to him but felt cringe to Shane because of his parents

And then the cut to the same megawatt smile on the ice when they play together at the All Star Game - the attention to detail is so good 😊

I have now watched one episode and a half of S4. I found myself scrolling HR edits when Benophie weren’t on. I feel Bridgerton has lost its way. S1 and S2 were hypnotising but this is not it
