The longer answer is oh yes--it's very different than H50 (except in its being kind of stylized and super slashy)--but, especially in the first season, the cases are very "White Collar"--unabashedly about art and high culture. I started watching it as a kind of antidote to the sourness of S5 SPN, and it's just refreshing to watch a show where people are openly affectionate and respectful towards each other.
Also, it's the best depiction of a healthy, happy sub/dom bondage relationship you're ever likely to see.
Also, also--sure Matt Bomer is gorgeous, but the older partner, Tim DeKay/Peter Burke is doing wonders for the sexiness of happily married guys in their forties :)
