Something about two touch-starved men who have rarely, if ever, been touched by another man without an undercurrent of violence, casually touching each in increasingly intimate ways even before they process their developing romantic feelings for each other.

Something about this show actually looking at the complexity of toxic masculinity and how it warps men but also how they can be slowly unwarped by letting them have and express emotions other than anger.

OFMD + disability

(note: I did not include injuries that could potentially cause disabilities such as Roach’s shoulder because it’s not shown that there’s any clear lasting issues. Also, I included Black Pete because even though it’s never acknowledged in the show, I think it’s important to note that his actor, Matthew Maher has talked about his cleft lip and palate and said about the scar and his speech impediment: “I always think of it as a challenge—an impediment/challenge to my acting career…If you have anything that sort of makes you aggressively different than everybody else, you have to sort of wrestle with it. I had speech therapy. Part of committing to being an actor was finding a good speech therapist to make me just a little bit more comprehensible. But even still, she didn’t eliminate the lisp and there’s still the scars. It’s been one of the biggest things that’s slowed me down, but it’s also been paradoxically the thing that distinguished me the most.” So even though it’s not addressed in canon, the fact that it isn’t and he’s able to just be as he is on screen is so nice to see.
