a novel by Thomas Mallon. The series arc follows the clandestine romance of two different men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington: confident and charismatic Hawkins Fuller (Bomer) and idealistic and religious Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey, “Bridgerton”).

Joseph McCarthy (Chris Bauer) and Roy Cohn (Will Brill) declared war on “subversives and sexual deviants”; the Vietnam War protests of the ’60s; and the AIDS crisis of the ’80s, when Hawk is married to Lucy (Allison Williams). “[Reading the book], I fell in love with the central relationship between Hawk and Timothy,” said Nyswaner, who was nominated for an Oscar (“Philadelphia,” starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington) and wrote for/executive-produced Showtime’s “Homeland” and “Ray Donovan.”“They see the world differently, move through the world differently, have different values, but are drawn to each other,” he said. “Each gives something to the other — Hawk gives Tim a bit of his confidence and Tim opens up Hawk’s heart and emotions just a little bit.” “I can step back now and look at ‘Philadelphia’ and ‘Fellow Travelers,’ and see parallels,” he said.

We can go further with sex than we could 30 years ago.”Recently, thanks to a new study proclaiming that Gen Z prefers chaste media, there’s been hand-wringing about how much sex should be on TV. “As much [sex] on television as possible, as far as I’m concerned,” Nyswaner said.
