Gilbert Cruz

one Russian, one Canadian, who fall not exactly in love, but definitely in lust.

And it is the steamiest show.

I was trying to think, what was the last show that felt like truly sexy?

And I think it was Normal People, but that sex was very Irish and sad.

And this is not, this is not, I mean, sure, they're anguished because they're closeted hockey players, but...

This sex is not sad.

It's also extremely specific.

I was like, wow, I know exactly who is doing what to whom, like down to the millimeter.

I often see shows where the sex feels incredibly gratuitous.

And I would say this is a sexy, sexy show with so much sex.

And the sex does not feel gratuitous because the sex is text.

It is about sex.

It is about their desire for each other.

It is about how they have sex, how they want each other, how they don't want each other.

And like, sa sufi.

Or as we Jews say, dayenu.

It's enough.

It's enough to tell a hot, steamy story about sex.

These are not the butts you're looking for.

Pete Dinklage shows up for one absolutely perfect, completely bananas episode as Lee's former partner, and it is indelible.
