Boots is a powerful military drama based on the memoir The Pink Marine, which follows Cameron Cope, a young gay man who joins the Marines in search of acceptance and purpose. With a brilliant performance by Miles Heizer and sensitive direction, the series combines humor, grit, and emotion in equal measure.

The story honestly portrays the struggle for identity within a system that doesn’t tolerate differences, showing both the brutality of training and the humanity that flourishes among soldiers. Although it sometimes falls into clichés, its heart beats strongly and truthfully.
4/5 – Emotional, intense, and necessary. A story of courage and self-discovery.
