Two scenes stand out from the season. One is from Go On, in which widower Ryan King (Matthew Perry) tried to recover from his wife’s death with the help of a support group, one of whose members was Anne (Julie White), who had also recently lost her wife. Over the course of the season, Anne and Ryan went through many similar challenges—returning to the dating scene after a long and happy relationship, wondering what their late partner would make of their new lives, general grieving—and as a mother, she faced some other issues that childless Ryan was spared.
It may seem ridiculous to trumpet a lesbian being permitted to experience such basic emotions. But until recently gay characters were almost exclusively defined by their sexuality, while also being denied the freedom to express it.
