I get a little embarrassed, I guess you can say. Not because they're gay, I don't care about that, but because it's !Richard Madden! making out with someone. Love love love him :D
I wouldn't even of heard about the show if it wasn't for him, so I understand. I don't mind him playing a gay character either. It's kind of fun, actually.
What's there to skip? British TV's new obsession with interracial gay couples. What is wrong with white-on-white guy-on-guy action? I can't get into RearEnders because of Syed. And Malick on Holby City is a complete turn-off. That fugly git Noah on HollyOaks. They are trying too hard to be so progressive in their taboo-pushing. Let us get used to Caucasian dudes doing gay sex to each other first.
Agree, the black cop they paired Ashleigh with on this show is also really ugly - but they still talk about him like he's an Adonis. Should have improvised the script after casting that dude IMO. King Robb deserves better.
Just started watching this for the lovely richard madden. It had *beep* reviews if I remember rightly so didn't bother at the time. If the reviews had mentioned that richard got naked in ep 1 and there was some man on man snogging I would have watched sooner!
