Why I liked it:

(Anonymous) 2024-10-26 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I was deep into the Dr Who weeds and wanted MORE

Explicitly gay/bi characters was exciting in 2006

Pretty man in a suit (Ianto <3)

Indira Varma was in the first episode, and my crossover Rome love was fierce

Reasons Why I stopped loving it: all the flaws you mentioned piled up and I quit somewhere in season 2.

Tbh I think the bi characters drew a lot of fans who were willing to look past the flaws, myself included for awhile, though I wasn't a big fan of the show. It was my favorite aspect of the show, that sexuality was not made a big deal of and characters' sexualities were generally assumed to be bi.

Yup. That was huge at the time. It's a lot easier to be harsh looking back, but the show was really different, not only for sexuality but for tone and other stuff, at the time and a lot of people liked that about it.

AYART

Thinking about it now, I don't watch much TV but I'm not sure I could name another genre show where (almost?) everyone is queer in some way. Like, explicitly but also the whole project isn't *about* that.

I know a couple but for some reason I can only name A League of Their Own right now. But the point still stands, it's not such a usual thing
