debonator I absolutely love the episode where Patrick and Richie get to know each other, it is so authentic and as a woman made me think differently about men in general. Richie is a keeper! Too bad they don't show nudity. The series is emotionally raw, culturally educational, not over dramatized, and keeps the viewer interested even if they don't connect with one of the characters due to the engaging interactions within the cast. The addition of a female friend who is straight, edgy, sassy, bs detector, and cute makes me want a gay male bff. The character development is well written and acted. Really glad I happened upon this series, it's been a pleasant surprise.

Omar Esparza It wasn't "slow" the fact that don't handle too much sexual content to me was right and touch "common" or the day to day issues was what the thing that gave that special to the series essence, I wish I had not has been canceled. I think we need more content like this, its doesn't need to talk all the time about sex to keep us fun or focus,The characters had real problems and we started to think of many decisions and situations we have been in life. i found in love of this series and its characters as we have more of a friend who thinks like some character in the series and we have found more than ever in a similar situation.

ChrisMendez2010 This show was my first HBO series to watch from beginning to end, and I am so glad that I did. As a huge 'Friends' fan, I really enjoyed watching the dynamic of this close-knit group of people. All the characters became more endearing as they each reached their emotional lows through the course of their relationships on the show. This show honestly explores sex and health issues in the gay community, while representing gay men in a way that is relatable to all people. I love the humor that was brought to every episode, even those tinged with a real sadness. Finally, 'Looking' is about the love a group of friends has already found with one another, while they each continue their own journeys of self-discovery.

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!
