TV meta -- hooks and game changers

Bit of random meta, mostly because I feel like rambling about stuff I love to take my mind off stuff that stresses me out.

They were total surprises--I had gone in expecting this to be another buddy-cop-esque USA drama and was pleasantly surprised that a) one of the guys had a super funny, super kickass wife who seemed to be there for more than just a convenient plot point or someone to complain that Peter worked too much and b) AN AWESOME LESBIAN SECONDARY CHARACTER WHO WAS MORE THAN A STEREOTYPE. I was so, so bummed that Diana was missing from most of the rest of S1, let me tell you. But the Game Changer was "Free Fall." I watched that one with my cousin in our hotel room outside Boston when we were coming up to visit Becca before I lived with her and our mouths just DROPPED OPEN at the end when Kate ( ... )
