He created a romantic drama interspersed with comedy that shines a light on one of the most popular and pioneering television teams of all time.

I also think this is the first-time romance has risen to the top in Aaron’s writing and it is beautiful, sexy and fun. Some of the scenes make me laugh out loud. And it’s hard to make me laugh out loud after all these years!”
