Last night, as I was trying to fall asleep, this popped into my mind. Imagine standing nearby, listening to a conversation between these two.

I've been getting into The Closer, and I hope there's still an active fandom for the show because I need to vent about the man Brenda Leigh has been thrown together with.
Fritz is set up as the love interest from the pilot but, in a show with a lot of great male characters, his only real personality seems to be that he will passive-aggressively - very passive-aggressively - tolerate Brenda.
Brenda's not a saint. She's often thoughtless, spiteful, manipulative, and avoidant. She uses people, especially Fritz. In fact she's a bit of a disaster. But she's OUR disaster, and we, the audience, love her. And she's also dedicated, loyal, and unrelenting in seeking justice for the dead. Yet almost every episode we see Fritz purposefully make her feel bad about herself in some low-level 'I'm so disappointed in you' way. I wonder if we're supposed to empathise with him? Like, "Haha yeah she's a handful!"? I do not empathise with Fritz. If he doesn't like Brenda, surely he ought to leave.
And Fritz keeps pushing Brenda! She obviously wasn't ready for him to a) move in, b) meet her family, and c) (the episode I just watched) talk about having children. You sort of wonder if she only started dating him because he kept asking and she didn't want to keep saying no. And she kept wanting him around for his contacts (she's not a saint as previously mentioned).
Ideally, with such a well written show that is focused on crime and departmental politics, I would prefer the main character to not be given an immediate love interest, but to see how the characters and the actors gel with each other as the show progresses organically. Or - weird idea! - maybe the main character doesn't have to have a romance tacked on at all! Maybe we can get our relationship fix from the already wonderful entanglements Brenda has with the team and the greater LAPD!
So: I usually skip through the scenes with just Brenda and Fritz and pretend she just lives with the cat.
