Okay, don’t panic, we -unlike Joe Goldberg here- aren’t following 10 paces behind you in the world’s most secretive and covert spy uniform; none other than a beige jacket and a baseball cap to match it!

In this season we can look forward to the continuation of desperately wanting the best for a man that always manages to disobey our faith in him, in completely unexpected ways!
