What’s got the world spiralling, the internet buzzing, and every group chat full of screaming? It’s Heated Rivalry — and today, The Spill hosts Laura & Em are joined by our pop culture editor Tina Burke (aka the show’s biggest superfan) to break it all down.

We’re diving into why this book-to-series adaptation has taken over the world, how its previously unknown cast are now the boys of the moment, and the intense, heartbreaking, jaw-dropping moments that had all three of us bawling.

From the groundbreaking storytelling and the queer romance representation that matters, to the very real emotional chaos we felt episode after episode, we’re unpacking why Heated Rivalry is everything everyone’s talking about — and why you might need tissues.
