Never have I seen a piece of media use the "highly skilled character cannot use a computer" trope so effectively to recontextualise it's character's relationships than with Juno Steel. It's something people look over alot but it completely changes the context of him and Rita's relationship and it's GREAT. In season 1, we can make the assumption that he specifically chose a secretary as skilled as Rita as a strategic move. But as soon as we move into season 2 - and into the start of his development - we see that she's just the equivalent to his I.T. guy. He has no way to know the scale of her skill, hell, he cant turn on a computer - so it shows that he MUST value her as a person. It leads into the theme of their friendship in season 2 so well and I'm going insane over it.
