Jack Armstrong in Delivered

'Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen...'

A couple of years ago, I did a piece on the British anthology series Patterns.  In that piece, (HERE:) I spotlighted on episode, and the male nudity contained within.  Although this follow-up is a wee late, there was another episode that I wanted to give a  little attention.  

If you haven't seen the 8 episodes of the 2023 series, I'd certainly suggest finding it if you can.  I know it was on Prime Video for a time, but it doesn't appear to still be there, not in my region anyway.  Each of the eight episodes is self-contained, yet they all take place in the same universe, with some characters from some episodes showing up in others.

In episode 3, Delivered, Lionel, played by the beautiful Jack Armstrong.  Lionel is living his 9-5 life, but in this case, it's during the early days of the pandemic.  Although Lionel doesn't have to deal with low pay and a handsy boss, he does have other challenges.  As some of us remember, working from home has it's perks, but for some, there are also elements of isolation and loneliness.  

Lionel has a strict routine to help the days go by,  walking up, exercising, then a long shower before making and eating breakfast.  Then it's down to work.  Thankfully, the producers and director really leaned in to showing us Lionel's routine up close, including some great shots of him in the shower.

Like so many during the pandemic, Lionel orders in a lot of his meals, especially pizza It doesn't take long for Lionel to get obsessed with one of his pizza delivery guys and orders a pizza every day for weeks in order to connect with him.  As you can see from the caps, they do get to get together, for a short time anyway...  Actor Rufus Shaljean who plays Foster, the pizza delivery guy, also has some rear and full frontal nudity in the episode.
