Ok but.... Hear me out.
Y'all have watched Our Flag Means Death, right? Where a clueless overly-earnest anxious father who likes to rhyme runs away from his failing marriage to a smart and confident woman to do something completely unadvisable a world away and in doing so takes a group of rugged violent men and teaches them to be soft and to respect each other and the world around them (and has a panic attack when he meets his ex wife again and found she moved on and might be getting remarried)? And his love interest is a man with long salt and pepper hair who is well-versed in the ugly sides of the life the other man chose blindly, and who has become disillusioned by the whole thing and therefore completely compromises himself for the possible chance at a life with the first man since he was the first person who showed him how truly powerful kindness could be? Also the grey haired man starts off the series appearing aloof and stern and slowly gets more silly and authentic because of his exposure to the earnest man, and comes around to believe in the kind way of doing things despite himself, and spends the final season (barring renewal) following the earnest man around and trying to earn his place back with this crew who, rightfully, spurned him for his callousness.
Anyways. Wild coincidence, huh?
