Netflix dropped a brand new comedy-drama on October 9, and the internet can't stop talking about it. Boots follows a closeted US Marine named Cameron in the 1990s as he, along with his best friend, survive boot camp and all the relationships, challenges, and complications that come with it. All episodes are streaming now, so if you've already binged it and have questions (or want all the info before you press play), then you've come to the right place.
Here's everything you need to know about Boots, streaming now on Netflix.
What is Boots Netflix about?
Boots on Netflix follows Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer), a closeted young man in the 1990s who joins the US Marine Corps with his best friend Ray McAffey (Liam Oh). As they get to know the other recruits and make their way through training camp, the group has to figure out their limits and who they are. "With sharp wit and plenty of heart, BOOTS is about friendship, resilience, and finding your place in the world—even when that world seems determined to keep you in line or leave you behind," according to the official Netflix synopsis.
