Season 1 Review:
“Boots” proves to be a smart, empathetic, character-driven drama that explores coming of age in a time when Cameron can’t be his true self, while also showing the toll that repression takes on another character, conflicted and similarly closeted Sgt. Sullivan (Max Parker).

Season 1 Review:
All the usual hallmarks of stories about Marines-in-training report for duty here: the obstacle course montages, the apoplectic drill sergeants, the shouts of “oorah!” But the show also burrows into the demanding day-to-day realities and sacrifices of military life in fresh, nuanced ways.

Season 1 Review:
Heizer is well cast as the lead, delivering a metamorphosis that feels both earnest and earned. But it’s also because the supporting characters in Boots aren’t one-dimensional, either. .... None of which is to say that Boots is perfect. It can be uneven in tone—sometimes twee, sometimes sober—and is occasionally too reliant on unnecessary voice-overs and hallucinations in which Cameron talks to versions of himself for lazy exposition purposes.

Season 1 Review:
There is an overriding chipper tone to the writing thanks to Lear’s momentous sitcom background, which doesn’t fit the subject. .... An oversimplification of what military life was and is actually like for queer service members, despite the creators’ best intentions.
