Our mums might got the charming, clueless, floppy haired next-door hunk hugh grant but our generation has retired, couldn’t give a damn, dating questionable men and plotting world destruction in flamboyant coloured attire hugh grant and truly we’re winning here.
And I kinda ship Piercifer, then I realized that this ship felt familiar to me.
So, um, let me tell you what I came up with.
We have a playboy billionaire (or whatsoever), who has daddy issues, and even though he says he’s a tough guy he’s a big softie inside.
On the other hand, there’s a muscular man who looks 35 but he is much older than that. He has some kind of leadership ego. And he feels a lot of guilt for what he did in the past.
I have yet to find a scene on this show that beats this moment from the pilot, though Neal walking in and joining Peter and El for breakfast uninvited was close. I love this dynamic.
Thinking about it, the fact that showing up at Peter’s house activated the GPS tracker means that Peter’s house is outside the radius Neal is allowed to travel in - but probably only just outside it because he was already there when Peter got the call. Which means that every other time he shows up at Peter’s house, invited or not, he’s also activating it.
So presumably there’s a team whose job it is to monitor the tracker who get an alert every few days that Neal’s broken his bounds and they go, “Do we need to contact Agent Burke? Oh, no, it’s alright, he’s at Agent Burke’s house again.” The people on this team are convinced that either Burke is taking advantage of his power over Neal or that Neal is having an affair with Burke’s wife - they’re just not sure which one.
