Too Much Forcing of Main Character
1 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I'm enjoying the show, but I can't help but be distracted by Jonathan Groff's character.

He is a gay broadway actor and it seems they are really forcing you to believe he is straight by having sex multiple times an episode with his gf. It's just blatantly obvious and very distracting.

I'm gay myself, which is probably why it's so distracting and I had never heard of him until I googled during the show. Probably shouldn't have done that. It was just odd how much they were pushing the character in so many sex scenes in one episode.

He seems like a fine actor and don't see the need to see the character pushed into this macho sex machine when he is just not masculine. It made me google him because it seemed so off and I can't be the only one to notice.

Hopefully they push past this in future episodes and just let the actors play their characters.
