For me it was a mix of things, being the most important and powerful the "I know you, I see you, we understand each other, we were alone until we met" and so on. That's something present in a lot of media and it always draw me. In this case we see characters encounting each other in a very dark background. Darkness within a human being is something I'm very attracted to, when is well explored and treated with responsibility.

The abuse itself is not something I'm particularly drawn to, and while enjoying the show, I also felt kind of sick because of it sometimes. But I think the appeal of the show, of the hannigram ship, is other thing -what I've said before. And for the abuse part, you see the abused person getting to a control, empowered place.

But never forget this. It's a love story. An unhealthy, toxic, dangerous, love story. People live for love and/or very intense emotions. Also, we have this lead character who has a lot of trouble with himself -something I can very much relate and a lot of people too. And he met this man who fucked him up but also kind of helped him get his shit together? Of course, this is not realistically acceptable. But is the wish of many people with similar troubles. Not to be fucked up by someone, but to reconcile with themselves, and why not, having someone emotionally close to them help them reconcile with themselves.

Well put.

Most people I "hate" I hate because they are stupid, petty and greedy. Some very, very few I hate because they are very clever and use their skills for evil. People like that are scary as hell and I avoid them like the plague. But I can also respect the ploys they manage and the coldness needed in an awestruck/scared shitless way. And wonder what else they are doing that I don't see through at all.

Another, very different story, but hauntingly good film about high tension and respect between enemies is J.S.A.: Joint Security Area (2000): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0260991/ It has degrees of much of what you describe above, anon. Give it a look-see.
