Forgot about Rawls

I just did my second rewatch. I waited five years so I could forget a good bit and really enjoy it the second time. I forgot Rawls is closeted, and it never comes out. In a lesser show, they would have outed him. I think it's great that they showed how a person in power can hide in broad daylight

such a great character. Great performance by John Doman. You feel like Rawls has a lot more depth than what he presents to our main characters. But we're left to wonder about it, rather than have it spelled out.
