And Just Like That Season 2 Doubles Down On Che, Despite The Haters

Sure, Che and everyone around them refers to stand-up sets as "comedy concerts," and one time they tells Miranda that their memory is shot because they've "done a ton of weed," sounding vaguely like an undercover cop. Ultimately, though, Ramírez — a veteran of the stage and screen who won a Tony for Spamalot and charmed audiences for a lengthy span on "Grey's Anatomy" as Dr. Callie Torres — has the right approach to playing Che, which is simply that nobody's perfect.

"What I love about Che is that Che is complicated and messy and human," Ramírez told Variety in the same interview. Che is a great reminder that even when we don't like someone in our community, they still deserve love, safety and joy, like everyone else," they say. "But the movement for liberation includes everyone, even people we don't like. This movement, this fight, this party of pride, isn't just for the people who make us feel cozy and cute — it's for everyone."

According to the article, Nixon, who ends up as Ramírez's love interest on screen, sent the actor a gift after Season 1 wrapped with a note reading, "Let's see all the ways they come up with to torture us if we get picked up for a second season." Ramírez, unsurprisingly, took this in stride: "And that's how it goes! The conflict is what keeps the story moving."
