What a fantastic role for Jonathan Bailey following his success in Bridgerton to showcase his versatility. Like what is this, the [spoiler]shy catholic nerdy schoolboy[/spoiler] vibe? Sold, instantly.
The first 40 minutes of this series would be a [spoiler]“I watch porn for the plot” meme[/spoiler] if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s also just actually a really good show. It's giving fanfiction, but it does serve a purpose, it is an [spoiler]extension of the power (in)balance in their relationship in general; some of it healthy and fun, some of it not.[/spoiler]
Some very impressive casting for this particular dynamic tbh; Matt is a very predictable pick for this role (in the best way), I've seen this vibe from him before, but Jonathan came out of nowhere, and they work so well together.

I’m commenting this after the first three episodes, but this might be Matt Bomer's best work for me so far, and I say that knowing I rated The Normal Heart 10/10 a decade ago.

But let’s not forget this isn’t just Hawk & Tim’s story. They are a catalyst, but Marcus Hooks is the character that tells the story. Jelani Alladin takes this project to another level. So excited to see the rest of this.

Ps. I hope Jonathan Bailey knew he signed up for [spoiler]Matt Bomer’s entire foot in his mouth.[/spoiler]
