Also really like that the third episode pivoted to a different love story with a distinct riff on the main theme — one partner is a public figure and not out, the other is not a public figure but is out. Fun way to expand the universe and foil the main romance

I can’t imagine what it is like to be a young queer person and having something so mainstream and accessible with that plot point in the forefront. I remember combing archives for something — anything — to make my existence feel OK

That feels very pointed in today’s climate, and it’s worth noting the episodes were written 3+ years ago.
