What inspired my most recent WIP? Discovering all the episodes of Naked City were on YouTube. 🥳

I'd heard about the show for years but never saw it in syndication. Delighted to see them on YouTube. So I watched them all and noticed the Seasons 2-4 detective team (different team Season 1) was throwing off slashy vibes. A few examples:

Getting into each other's personal space and totally comfortable with it.

Protectiveness.

When Frank is shot, Adam loses it beautifully.

More examples, and quite impressive for a late '50s/early '60s TV show where the men were supposed to be tough guys. They are, but Adam is surprisingly sensitive and shows it, and Frank makes sure that sensitivity doesn't trip him up.

Despite having maybe 5 readers for this obscure show, I'm still inspired to write! ☺️
