I do love how it went from “potentially queer culture” because Gaiman always said we could ship this two the way we want, to become UNASHAMED queer. I also loved the use of “partner”, “spouse” and “they” as singular pronoun.

Anyway great review!

Right? It got me by surprise in the most delightful way. Everything about this season was perfect apart from the ending. I’m still crying about it. Thank you for your comment!

So looking forward to this!
Season 1 was so well done- from the opening credits to the intricate mix of tongue in cheek humor and well…the apocalypse….
I think long term friendships do exist- there is love between the two leads for sure. I’ll have to read your article on that issue.

The two leads definitely love each other. I was convinced before, but not there’s no denying it. Great season.
