I just haven't started it yet because I anticipate that it will quickly turn to binge-watching, so I need to make sure I have a good solid block of time set aside for it. <br /><br />So glad you loved it!M.J.

I had no idea it was based on a true story. That gives it a whole 'nother dimension.

If yo...@P.T.: I'm not sure quite what you mean. If you're talking about sex or rape, then yes. But a genuine caring and affectionate relationship between two men was probably as uncommon as it is today. And that's what is remarkable about "Our Flag Means Death." It highlights a relationship based on respect, admiration, and just having fun together.
