But this is a show where every character is human and receives narrative compassion; while the pain that Robert and Sol's revelation causes their wives is in no way minimized, we also see their joy and relief at finally being able to be honest.
That's one of the things I've heard consistently about Grace & Frankie and one of the reasons I'm thinking of trying it, despite TV comedy traditionally being a genre I stay away from. There are occasional rewarding exceptions.
I suspect that all those fans who interpret Nightingale as gay (I'm one of them, and I know Aaronovitch is aware of them because reasons) have freaked Aaronovitch out and we're never going to get another tender emotional moment between Thomas and Peter.
I was just hearing from someone else on Dreamwidth that Aaronovitch's word of God says Nightingale is straight and I find this flabbergasting. Peter reads him as gay in his introductory scene: there's no reason for the reader to distrust that. I don't ship Nightingale with anyone who's still alive, but that's irrelevant!
