One viewer reviewed: "Boots on Netflix??? I’m OBSESSED. The best show in a while."

While another added: "Boots on Netflix is phenomenal. Binged it in one day, and couldn’t stop. Max Parker absolutely *crushed* it as Sullivan and I’d watch an entire season just about his journey."

A third begged for more episodes, writing: "I binged the entirety of Boots today on Netflix. Absolutely in love. It’s like Orange is the New Black, but 90’s military. I need season 2 nowwww."

"That would be cool. But like Max said, there's so many different directions and so many things I would love to see. But just for fun, I'd like to see a little romance."

Co-star Liam added: "He ends the season in this interesting spot of really questioning the path that he's been on for the first time since he was a kid.

"I would like to see him continue to interrogate the choices that he's made in his life, or the choices that he hasn't made, that have been made for him by his father, by this sense of duty that he has."
