But Heated Rivalry's third episode, "Hunter," is a lovely stand-alone installment and stealthily a canny move for the series overall. It's a very swoony, romantic speedrun through Scott Hunter's backstory, but it's just as effective as a way to reframe and contextualize the entire series, as well as a strategy for addressing Heated Rivalry 's biggest challenge: It's a TV show with no interior monologue.

Tierney said "we did not expect this level of reaction to this show." He also said, "I thought by the end maybe we'd have a cult following." Discussing the show Letterkenny that he worked on previously the showrunner said he was used to "a slow burn," with that show taking four seasons to find its audience. "This has been the complete opposite," he remarked of Heated Rivalry.
