It's the demonstrated pragmatism and modesty, the diverse, fun loving characters, along with a well presented and beautiful setting that together, make a seemingly monotonous series like Looking, captivating. Looking leaves behind all pretense of what gay life should be and offers viewers a look into what REAL life is like for both gay men and those closest to them. The reality, though mostly filtered of the sometimes exciting stereotypes, is a moving and relevant tale of 3 complex gay men in San Francisco.

Entertaining but many slow moving scenes that almost mimic the speed of real life. 3 main characters couldn't properly represent the many types of gays in existence. A more diverse representation would have been appreciated. I'm not specifically talking about race, but the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum. There are so many untold LBTQ+ stories that could have made the show more unique & feel less stale. The main love story conflict was nothing new & in the end felt uninspired. Not bad, still entertaining.
