@dreamtolove oh no, please, i'm also in dire need of screaming about them to another human being!! and you've put it into words perfectly, i'm so impressed by how they've let her be warm and nurturing and all those things without taking away from her being capable! i know what you mean, i get so proud whenever i see her being all professional a+ spy i'm just like: THAT'S MY CHILD THERE, LOOK AT HER, LOOK AT HOW GOOD SHE GOT. but regardless i also love her as a clueless babbling mess learning her way around things and improvising/using what she knows bc right from the start she was so brave and i?? love her??? i think she won me over in the pilot when her kid goes "usually your hair is sort of frazzled" and she says "usually, //i'm// sort of frazzled, sweetheart" and she's had my heart since then? but yeah, for the 80s (and also for a lot of shows today too lbr) they did great on both her and lee!! they both had (i still have 15ish eps to go so idk about how it wraps up but i'm going to trust it for the time being) great character arcs, i love how he mellowed out over the seasons but also how there was a sort of vulnerable side to him all along that we could see. like even in the pilot when he's proclaiming himself as a loner he slips up and admits he's had a partner die on him and you just want to adopt him right away? i don't know, i don't usually get so attached to characters this easily, but i love them both SO MUCH.

and i agree with you completely on the whole "tv should give you fic scenarios" i love the tropey bits and the sweetness and we don't get enough of that, i feel like i'm going to treasure this show a lot ♡

@aliciagardner my very favorite thing about amanda is the fact she's allowed to be maternal + soft + stereotypically feminine w/o it changing the fact that she helps save the day. a lot. she just totally destroys the idea that women have to be a certain way (normally more ~masculine, physically strong etc) to be good heroes. i also appreciate that as the seasons went on, she became less of a stereotypical ~damsel and became more competent + capable of being an agent. but she was always a mother first, and although she sometimes had to choose between the two (mother/agent), she was still allowed to be both. and she was allowed to marry the male lead, too!!! for an 80s show, it's just so damn feminist + i love it. i agree so much re: lee. i love that he becomes this very emotional + kind + loving man when he was introduced to us as a stubborn, womanising loner. he grows so much + becomes a better man because he wants to be better for amanda. she deserves the best and he wants to give her that and SWOONS. RIGHT!!!!! i love that he's his father's son + he and amanda were always DESTINED TO BE. it's so incredibly beautiful and again, TOTAL FIC. but it's what tv SHOULD BE. so good that you don't feel the need to read fic bc IT GIVES YOU FIC SCENARIOS. i'm the exact same + i'm so used to loving ships that don't get a happy ending...... but these 2 just get Everything. i only wish they'd been able to continue for more seasons bc 4 wasn't enough

@dreamtolove i know, it's so wholesome??? amanda is so good, i love her so much? she is so soft and pure AND brave and strong and loving, and honestly when lee was proposing and he said "amanda king, you're the best, bravest, smartest, most beautiful woman" i was like: yes. YES SHE IS. and lee is??? so dramatic but also. i love how he gets to have all the feelings? like in s1 he got to say he was scared twice, and i just, love that? and i'm still highkey SCREAMING about the parallel meeting between his parents and him and amanda?? i knew it was gonna be a thing bc i saw a gifset, but i didn't know that they would get to read about it and KNOW?? it's such a good, sweet show and it makes me so happy i'm used to only love shows that hurt me, i don't know how to handle all this love?

@aliciagardner omg don't even apologise bc this has been me for the last month!!!! and i don't really know anyone that's watched (other than you <3) so i've just been scream tweeting my love. THEY ARE SO GOOD. total fic + so happy and good??? it's just such a nice change of pace from the heartache of so many present-day shows. but LEE PROPOSING IN THE MIDDLE OF A DAMN HOSTAGE SITUATION IS JUST SO HIM AND SO /THEM/ AND SO BEAUTIFUL. i'm still !!!! thinking about it
