Not all of our favorite couples of the small screen had an idyllic romance; Here, some separations series ached; WARNING: THIS NOTICE HAS SPOILERS
* 1. CARRIE AND QUINN (Homeland)
While the first three seasons of Homeland focused on the complex relationship between (permanently unfolded) Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) and Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis ), the figure of Peter Quinn ( “the man who kills evil men” as used to define themselves, played by a taciturn Rupert Friend) was always going around. In the fourth season, his undaunted character is replaced, in the last chapter, by a much more warm and bright. Quinn wants to leave the pit in which he was stuck for years (especially the dirty work assigned to it by the CIA) and Carrie is presented as his only salvation. After proposing to start from scratch with her daughter Franny (moment of doubt by), she agrees to this new opportunity but … it’s too late. Quinn confused that moment of silence with rejection and embarks on another course.
Also, in a sort of soap opera twist, Homeland shows us what leaves Quinn before embarking on another risky and unpredictable mission: a letter Carrie must open when he dies. A season later, and in the last episode, we reveal the contents of the epistolary statement, while Quinn lying in a hospital bed, seconds from death. “I think ever we happened, I’m not a person of many words but now I come to mind. I do not believe in fate, but I’m not surprised that things have ended this way, I always felt there was something pushing me the dark, and they never allowed me a real life or real love, and that was reserved for the ‘ordinary people’, “Quinn wrote. Viewers, meanwhile, prepared handkerchiefs.
* 2. PATRICK AND RICHIE (Looking)
Looking is one of those series that will become, over time, in a hidden gem. HBO aired the creation of Michael Lannan for only two seasons, which caused anger among fans who needed a closure of the stories of three protagonists (Patrick, Dom and Agustin). The closure will finally arrive in June when the movie based on the series, which will take up the end of the second season finale that was as exclusive to Patrick figures (Jonathan Groff) and Richie (Raul Castillo), in an approach that seemed to be released be the genesis of a reconciliation.
the breakup scene between them was one of the best who gave us Looking, with Groff and highly connected to actoral level Castillo and with that naturalness that has always characterized the series, making us feel that was not scripted, everything flowed with an undeniable spontaneity. While seemed to complement each other perfectly (as we have witnessed in the great episode to the Before dawn entitled “Looking for the Future”), Patrick and Richie were from very different worlds, the which ended up causing a departure from the first, who slept with her boss Kevin (Russell Tovey) in a impasse, a fact that was the coup de grace for that fleeting romance, because Richie could never forgive him .
* 3. COSIMA AND DELPHINE (Orphan Black)
The links Orphan Black is never easy to describe, especially since each of the clones of the BBC series have corresponding “monitor” the presence the monitors from close to report its evolutions (or regressions, in most cases). As a result of this, the clones are monitored also a romantic level by those figures who seek to gain their trust, causing constant disappointments. The clearest example of this is the Cosima Niehaus (Tatiana Maslany, brilliant in every facet that you get to play) who, despite being perceptive and intelligent in his work, he stumbles on a personal level incessantly.
therefore, and although all signs indicated that his girlfriend Delphine Cormier (Évelyn Brochu) was working for the enemy, Cosima ignored warnings and went ahead with the relationship . Error. Delphine not only broke his heart once reveal his true identity (she actually was his monitor assigned) but once again when he asked away to do their job objectively. So, it seems that “Cophine” – as fans dubbed him – was a couple who was cursed from the start and destined to end in tragedy. A pity.
* 4. HANNAH AND ADAM (Girls)
While Girls has had a few ups and downs in his five seasons, the link between Hannah (Lena Dunham) and Adam (Adam Driver, the great discovery of the creator of the series ) I always remained solid. From the first season when she played a submissive role to the sexual demands of him, through the second season when he rescues her from her nervous breakdown after a memorable and eventful journey through the streets of New York, to the brand new final chapter in the she ends up accepting the relationship of her ex-boyfriend with her friend Jessa (Jemima Kirke), Hannah and Adam have known how to show that, in essence, are two sides of the same coin.
the break more painful that crossed this couple came in the episode “Home birth” when Adam, after warning that Hannah is the woman he should be (but not volatile Mimi-Rose), proposes to resume the relationship in the context of the birth of her nephew. She declines the offer after a long period of being subject to the needs of him and decides to bet on what appeared to be a promising courtship with Fran (Jake Lacy). It should be mentioned that the look in those bleak Driver minutes is simply outstanding and recognizable to all who have suffered a similar rejection.
* 5. ABBI AND TREY (Broad City)
“Burning Bridges” is probably one of the best episodes of Broad City, the brilliant comedy created, written and starring the dynamic duo Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. First, because it is a chapter that hits the mark in his tribute to Dad forever – the comedy of Chris Columbus led by Robin Williams – even allowing a perfect cameo of Mara Wilson (daughter smaller of that film). Second, because it is the first time in history low decibel nonsense to show the human side of the unleashed Ilana, who is leaving the superficiality aside to be recognized as a vulnerable woman.
Third because we see Abbi enjoy a proper appointment (unusual scenario in Broad City) and with the most unexpected person: his boss Trey. Therefore, when to comfort a Ilana devastated by her own break detracts from its link with Trey and he overhears the conversation, we can not help feeling sorry for that relationship ended before. “I’m not a joke, Abbi” says the man who started as a cartoon series to become one of his most lovable characters. Another opportunity
