Season 2 opens with Sexy/Dangerous by Beverly Jenkins, a tribute to badass women, Black excellence, nerds, and the Midwest. The good (academic) doctor Adam Gary meets his buff, high-femme protector Max Blake as he works on top-secret research that will change the world—either for the better, if used for its intended purposes, or for the worse, if it lands in the hands of a pro-apartheid South African terrorist group. Max and Adam team up to thwart the white supremacists with the help of some dogs, a community of badass supporting characters, so much sexual tension, and the beautiful Lake Michigan coastline.
This is a high-stakes international romance with a full universe of characters and backstory. According to your hosts, it gets 3/5 underoos.
