Despite being a dark and eerie drama about a team of mismatched crime investigators, The Alienist still makes time for a slow-burn romance. The relationship between John, a hedonistic but brilliant newspaper illustrator, and Sara, an NYPD secretary turned private investigator, takes a while to get off the ground, as they grow closer while working with their teammate Laszlo on a serial killer case. Over time, however, their attraction grows, but forces in society might not allow them their happy ending.
