One of the side effects of the streaming era? Great shows falling through the cracks. And even when they do get attention, they’re often canceled way too soon (RIP The Waterfront, Kaos and the endless list that still stings). But a new series has just climbed to the #3 spot on Netflix’s coveted Top 10 and viewers are already hoping it escapes that dreaded fate.
Enter Boots, Netflix’s latest one-hour dramedy, inspired by former U.S. Marine Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine. The eight-episode series is a coming-of-age story set in the “tough, unpredictable world of the 1990s US Marine Corps when being gay in the military was still illegal,” as Tudum puts it.
