Season 1 Review: There’s a timely element to this perfectly decent, good-hearted, unsurprisingly sentimental miniseries. Read full review

The Daily BeastAbby MonteilOct 9, 2025
Season 1 Review: Boots—which was inspired by gay veteran Greg Cope White’s 2016 memoir The Pink Marine—struggles to live up to the “comedy” side of its dramedy title, creating a milquetoast coming-of-age story whose ultimate veneration of military life comes off queasy in 2025. Read full review

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. Read full review
