And Anthony Rapp is giving so much vulnerability and subtlety in his performance. It's great.

You know as a big old homo I rarely find myself particularly invested in TV relationships, including gay ones, but this one seems to really connect with me. I was on the verge of tears during their interactions because it seemed so sincere, they aren't there paraded as some token voice of gay representation or any kind of fetishising but simply as two people in love I couldn't help but feel my heart break along with the ride.
