I almost feel like it shouldn't work for me, and yet it really, really does.
Exactly! Finally, romance on the teevee that works for me (I may ship like mad in my fannish headspace but most of the time I'd really, really rather my canon NOT GO THERE)!
I think it is in part that it is not romanticized in the traditional sense of grand gestures and moony gazing and flowers and hearts so much. Love is calling your partner a numpty. Or an entirely dorktastic red heart shirt with a badly photoshopped picture of you and your partner. Or pizza, booze, and a telly. It's the little things where you are comfortable enough with someone to be a goofball, and put your feet up, and tease. That...is my kind of love.
