    To me, that just applies to relationships in shows in general. Some are just completely unnecessary, and sometimes that extends to queer ones too, but it’s not the queerness that is to blame, it’s the forced or uncomfortable romance.

    I think romance is overused in shows in general, but I suppose it makes sense since it does make up a lot of people’s existence, so I guess it’s something to be tolerated.

      I totally agree. We want to see human to human connections and not something shoved down our throats, make it believable and we will gladly like it

      I’m on season two of Resident Alien and I love how (so far) the relationship between the sheriff and the deputy is growing deeper and more intimate and loving yet carries not an ounce of romance. If they hook them up I’m going to riot.

      I am a fifty year old man. If my wife were to leave me or pass away, what I would miss is the caring and loving relationship with someone I can trust and talk to. The romance I can live without and sex is easy to get.
