Aaron Paul bloody loves Derek for some reason

This is despite the self-evident fact that it is an awful, cloying mess which paws guilelessly at your tear ducts like a baby ape trying to coax milk from an unyielding teat.

And yet somehow he's all about it. It's like he's been appointed official cheerleader for Derek.

If you haven't seen Derek you need to start now. It is beautiful. @rickygervais Thank you for your brilliance. #Netflix

@rickygervais Hell yes! I already have a character in mind. Derek and him will become best friends and that makes me very happy.

Months of imprisonment as a meth slave-cook by a gang of white supremacists will do that to you, I guess.
