I went ahead and bought Brilliant Minds S1 and binged. It doesn't have the central tensions I'm used to because the characters are canonically gay, and they're all human, hahahaha. In fact, pretty much everyone on the show is gay. Which is awesome. And it is really nice to see two hot 47-year-old dudes making out in an elevator.

The worst thing I can say about the show is that it is cheesy AF. Like, to an incredible degree. But it has heart, and it tackles neurodivergence and aging.

Zachary Quinto is absolutely HOT.

Sadly, the fandom action seems to all be on tumblr, the platform I hate most in this life, but if you search for Brilliant Minds, you can see ZQ's adorkable outfits and enthusiastic kissing. AO3 only has 212 fics so far, and for the most part they have tags I hate: h/c, whump, angst. This fandom needs some wacky humor fic. I am here to write it.
