Wow, I watched it before it was fixed and this is soo much better! You can actually see their faces! So we can keep going on HBO Crave is a canadian streaming service, so this is from Canada, and also partially funded by the canadian government. And you probably thought it was in a different language because I mentioned subtitles, because as you have seen there are some scenes fully in russian, or a bit of french. Speaking of russian, Ilya´s actor is by the way not russian and learned the language/accent in like... 3 weeks? And I think he sounds pretty good. And yes this is based on a book series. Gay hockey romance is a popular genre lol. Specifically this is the 2nd book, and they all share the same universe. So ironically, despite them being deep in the closet there are a ton of gay hockey players all around them. Based on how popular this turned out to be I´m kinda optimistic that they will give this more seasons/spin offs and adapt the other books too.

Jessie! I’m so excited to watch the rest of your reactions to this show!! I absolutely LOVED your analysis of this first ep- you may be the first person I’ve seen who seems to really understand and have empathy for Ilya and his situation at this point 💙

With the interview scene, it's also implied that Ilya was having trouble understanding the question, as English is his second language. The book makes it much more obvious that Shane noticed this and was helping him by answering instead
