If the storytelling has allowed room for the interpretation of Jack, the leading man, as the sort of guy who would use one of his employees for sex, given all the fucked up power dynamics that that implies, then the character of Jack, with regards to his sexual/romantic leanings in any case, has not been properly put to paper.
Yes.
That's been the major feeling with me, too. That, and so many people seem to think he's this "out for himself/doesn't care about anyone elses feelings" character which i think is, well, kinda dangerous, in a way. Especially - and speaking from a personal slant here - I'm fucking fed-up with so much anti-bi crap going on, from the gay and straight communities, that I'm kinda pissed off that this is the first time we could have a good representation in TV media, but it's all gone sideways.
