Different person re B99: for me personally, it felt refreshing to have a couple with limited will-they-won't-they that were upfront about their feelings and communicated efficiently. Granted, maybe that doesn't make for most exciting TV, but I felt like for once I could say "yes, this couple is my relationship goals and Jake is husband material" and I'm glad they were a constant source of love and affection in the show. For the most part (Casecation episode was.. interesting). But everyone has their opinions, hence the healthy discussion :)
I totally get this! And I don't disagree. However, I think my biggest issue stems from not finding Amy to be a funny character.
I was listening to Taylor Swift's The One, and the idea is that "I love my partner, but a part of me (or all of me) wishes I had ended up with someone else."
Do you think Jake or Amy feel that way about anyone?
I really don't think so!
I think they did have a bit of fear when they were both cops, and it was more about the stress of the job and that affected them a lot.
For a few days after the casecation, Amy had resentment that she hasn't discussed the very key core value of if they wanted kids or not. But even then she didn't really think she wished she'd ended up with someone else. She was just pissed at herself for not taking that into account before investing so much into the relationship.
But after a few more weeks and a couple months of couples theraphy, they realized that they just gotta keep working at it.
For Jake, he doesn't really belive in soul mate's or anything, but if they'd broken up, he would have just let himself go and become the lone wolf whiskey drinking cop who slept around, kind of like his dad.
