10 Reasons Why You Should Be Watching Miranda
2. Gary
Every good show needs a beautiful, intelligent, nice, guy for the heroine to fall in love with. For Miranda, that's Gary, the gorgeous old friend who's come home and is now the chef next door. He's got a soft spot for Miranda and their friendship is one of chemistry and missed opportunities. Portrayed by the talented Tom Ellis, Gary is a man after my own heart (and the hearts of many other women I'm sure) with his smile and his sense of humor and his job as the only cook at a nearby restaurant. I mean, come on, how could Miranda not be constantly swooning over him!
The stories that emerge out of Miranda's interest in Gary and their close friendship are fantastic, whether they're making up excuses for playing with children's toys in Miranda'a store or being asked to be God-parents of Gary's "awful friends" Chris and Alison, or just trying to figure out their relationship. (I'll admit it now, my roommate and I have held each other on the couch waiting for a moment between Miranda and Gary, who just might be our favorite will-they-won't-they couple.)
