Cannot agree more. I don't know about you but if I was being chased by assassins trying to kill me, the last thing on my mind would be getting laid or falling in love. It works in some cases like The Bourne Identity because the film is about him finding his humanity again, so a love story helps with that, but for a lot of shows or films a love story doesn't help, like you say a platonic friendship can work just as well.

When they kissed I saw the vomit emoji. I knew it was coming, not because they had great chemistry, but because the show is such a cliché. I wonder if the actors felt it was as out of place as we did
