Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Paul Creeden Andrew Haigh's "Weekend" impressed me. I have been watching the evolution of gays in film and gay men for fifty years, and "Weekend" is something special. Perhaps as special as the French "Stranger by the Lake", which still sets a bar, in my opinion. Haigh's "45 Years" is less special in that it is a quiet film about more commonly portrayed heterosexual relationships. But it is a solid film with guts and risk. How many films show octogenarians screwing, or at least trying to?But "Looking"? "Looking" smelled of L.A. corruption of Haigh's solid viewpoint of real people. Maybe it was HBO's need to pander to a perceived American gay superficiality? Maybe it was an attempt to capture the eyes and hearts of the Davey Wavey brigade? Whatever the mix of art and motive may have been, this series struck me as an anachronistic rehash of "Queer as Folk".

Robert McGee As a gay man, this show is so moving. It doesn't give us the usual stereotypes of what people think gay men are like, but rather what real gay men, and real people are. It is beautifully written, and the acting is just incredible. As a man approaching thirty, I relate so much to the characters and their struggles with love, friendship, and life. One of the best, and most realistic, series I have seen on television in a long time. Each character was so different from the next. All struggling with their own issues, and learning to cope with all the curve balls life throws at you. By far my favorite show on TV during its run. I highly recommend it to any gay man or woman, or anyone trying to understand our community a little better. We're more than what the media makes us out to be. We are human. And this show showed that unlike any other.

David Olsen I absolutely loved the show up until the last episode. I watched the whole thing in one day and i was so disappointed when I finished. I really really hope this isn't the actual last season because they ended such an AMAZING show on SUCH a bad note. Also it was very vague the way it ended and I really want to see Kevin and Patrick happy together. They had one of the best build ups I've ever seen and it will go to complete waste if they just leave the show like this. Surely they have to do at least one more season. I really really wanted to see the two of them grow old and happy together. I love a good romance and seeing such potential be thrown away in the potential last episode ever is so depressing. Here's to hoping they figure something out and can fix the mess they made.

derrickluciano One of the best gay themed TV series I've seen. A splice of gay life of 30's-40's men in SF, showing their loves and insecurities.The story focuses on three gay friends: Patrick an efficient game designer who has issues with his Mexican boyfriend Richie, and later develops some tension with his British boss Patrick; Agustin, an artist testing the boundaries with his bf Frank; Dom a 40's guy who is eager to start his restaurant business and then maybe finding something more than just a business relationship with partner, the older guy Lynn.I am not sure why the other commentators find the series boring or slow. Probably they only watched the first episodes. I suggest watch it in full. It is moderately paced. It takes time to get to know the characters but you will get involved in the end. That's how I experienced it.The acting is quite natural and their conversations feel like ad-libs. Kudos to Jonathan Groff as Patrick, who seems not to be acting at all. Get perked with Kevin with his British sways and accent. Sympathize with romantic Richie or feel the nervousness of Dom as he prepares for the pop-up. You can feel Agustin's loneliness at the train scene. And I wouldn't mind having Doris as a friend.Now I'm looking forward to Looking Season 2!
