Still thinking about Animal Kingdom? Same. The beloved TNT drama had a resurgence in the zeitgeist when all six seasons dropped on Netflix earlier in the summer, which resurrected our thoughts about Deran (Jake Weary) and Adrian (Spencer Treat Clark).
In the first season, Adrian is introduced when Deran brutally beats him up in the bathroom after J (Finn Cole) accidentally walks in on them during an intimate moment. At some point in their childhood, the feelings between them turned into something beyond just friendship. By the end of the first season, we get some insight into Adrian and Deran’s simpler time in Belize, a period of their lives they wish they could return to.
