>you follow it up by saying that everything that the writer added to the story through the relationship could have been achieved by a hetero relationship instead.

Imagine making this up, then calling people names from this imaginary argument nobody made.

Seriously - point to where I said anything of the sort, or delete your account.

I’m glad this is a reaction I’m seeing to this show - we can never get through a rewatch because of how the misery outweighs the joy by a huge factor. For an adventure romance it’s mostly about trauma, rape, and murder and I think the showrunners might be a bit psychopathic.

That's simplifying it. There were a string of high profile murders and she found out that an extremely shady guy she knew just happened to be present for all of them. If anything she was the antithesis to a problem throughout the rest of the show - "how the fuck does nobody know Joe is a serial killer?"

I've become a big fan of romance series where each book in the series has new characters and maybe there's a bit of a story that continues. I'm ten books into a romance series right now and it feels fresh because I get new characters each time. So many writers essentially end up writing their own fanfiction when they can't end their stories.
