My absolute favourite thing about this show is how real the characters feel. They are a product of their time and their generation. Whether it’s Deke’s indignation of Ellen’s reveal or Ed’s distrust of anything Soviets or Karen’s inability to breakout of her role as the picture perfect wife. None of the characters act the way they do without reason. The writers don’t try to change them to characters that fit the 2020s worldview because it’s the “right” POV, they keep them grounded to the environment of the 1970s.

My hubby is a bit like Sawyer, a bit crusty on the outside yet a loving heart and a baby whisperer. It's quite amazing to see how instantly he is able to soothe an upset baby...just like Sawyer. I enjoyed this part too Carmen.☺️💚

"There's too many people in the world like me." I think Deke's initial reaction isn't motivated entirely by bigotry, but also the assumption that the negative stigma that existed at the time could be used by adversarial foreign powers (i.e. spies) to blackmail, coerce, or otherwise compromise people with "deviant lifestyles."

Nicely written. If you ever want to heal the world, then it is important to remain open, listen, communicate, and understand where the each side is coming from, find common ground and work through the disagreement.

The only thing I'm going to say is this; Take it from someone over 50, Deke is as much a product of his environment as you are of yours. You have grown up in utterly different environments from him and indeed from me. It's vey easy to judge by the standards of the world in which you grew up in but you live in a completely different world with constant access to a whole world full diverse viewpoints and decades of social change. I know you can say try not to judge but it's incredibly hard to grasp quite how different things were and how different society was. When I was born there was no Internet, no mobile phones, no social media and the your view was shaped by the people you interacted with on a daily basis and what you saw on the news and in popular culture by way of Radio,TV & Movies (Well, and in my case a vast quanity of science fiction books!) and casual prejudice was very much the norm. I didn't even meet a gay person that I was aware of until I was in my late teens and that was in passing. Pretty much everyone I grew up with was white apart from one kid from Bangladesh I believe. Trust me when I say enthusiasm about cultural diversity and being open to alternative lifestyles wasn't really a thing for the average person. Now I was born in the early 70s (in England) but Deke was born in the US of the 1920s so I can barely imagine the world in which he grew up and what was socially normal to him. His whole social order conditioned him to have that attitude and nothing was telling him otherwise.

Kids like you have no idea what it was like then. The Soviets used blackmail and threats against families of gay men and women in all aspects of government. Before you get all self-righteous and smug, learn some history. People like Deke weren't bad or even mean...they were protecting this country.
