Contrary to all the other reviews and reviewers, I have a problem with this show. Yes, it is well acted and well crafted in direction and execution. My first problem is with the character of Hawkins: he is such a narcissistic, pathological liar and, ultimately, snake, that I don't see this as much a a love story as I do a story about a predator and its prey. Skippy is far too sweet and innocent to have fallen for such a complete jerk. Second, although I am a gay man in his 70s and have been around the block many, may times, I find Bomer a bit too pretty and effete to be believable as the character he is playing. Still, that might be a tribute to his acting so, again, conflict. Despite all this, I am looking forward to the remainder of the show to see if there is any resolution and, in fact, absolution of Hawkins' character.
