Yes.

And I think what that show does, which is different to Grey's Anatomy, is that it's Fran who is always hitting on Mr. Sheffield, right? Like, she's the one making it very clear that she's interested in him, and he's the one who's kind of pushing her away at times and like it's not right and taking back the I love you and things.

So I think that shows kind of where a workplace relationship is a little bit better at least because, okay, if you have a subordinate dating their superior, it shouldn't be the superior who's hitting on them because that becomes really tricky what's going on there when the person who has power is doing things.

But with Fran and Maxwell, I think they hold up wonderfully as a couple.
Domenica FeraudGUEST
40:53
And I think that show holds up so well.
Domenica FeraudGUEST
40:54
And Fran is so empowered.
Domenica FeraudGUEST
40:57
And that's a show from like the early 90s that holds up really fantastically.
