It's worth noting that Looking is one of the sweetest and most romantic shows on television, and one the best at depicting the complexity and curiosity that drives many sexual encounters.
Us **** are normal people, we can love, we can do everything, and this serie show all this, mudering the prejudice.

Everything about this series feels incredibly authentic. All the characters find themselves in the search of happiness through love and understanding. Second season improves the way they transmit the stories and continues astonishing with the elements that characterize the series.
Looking feels spot-on and real; it falters only when it occasionally pauses to let one of its characters gaysplain, in dialogue, a subject that it believes a larger audience might not get.
"Looking" distinguishes itself by moving past the tired cliches involving gay life to a more matter-of-fact, intensely personal snapshot of these characters and struggles, told in a serialized fashion.
[The balance between love and sex in the gay world] is a valuable and promising theme, more than worthy as a foundation for a show about contemporary gay life, but it needs to be explored through better writing and deeper character development, and without the predictable cliches that rattle like Muni’s F line through the six episodes of Looking that were sent to critics.
There is something so sincere, honest, real, and extremely love able about this show and it's characters. I am always sad to say goodbye to them after each episode. Very authentic series. The chemistry on this one just works in spades for me. Looking forward to the rest of this S2 ride.
It’s sad that HBO has cancelled this show. The first season of Looking was okay at best. But the second season of Looking is pure gold and has to be one of the best, entertaining TV shows this year so far.
One of the best things about this season was the plot arcs. It was executed excellently with great, realistic writing that we can relate and entertained by.
Another thing was the character development. Every main character in the show has its fair share of character development. Also, this character development makes me easily support the characters’ decisions, even though some of them are not good ones and that’s what makes this show so real to watch.
My favorite part of this season was the platonic friendship between Dom and Doris. They are the most realistic portrayal **** man-female best friend friendship I have ever seen.
Lastly, I love how real the cast performance in this show. Honorable mention goes to Lauren Weedman who plays Doris so flawlessly that she is Doris for me. I just see her as Doris, not an actress. But, my favorite cast performance is from Jonathan Groff. When I see Groff on-screen, I don’t see him as Jesse St. James from Glee, I see Patrick, a character that I relate so much that even if those situations didn’t happen to me, I relate to him and that shows he is a great actor. That goes the same to everyone else in the cast who played their roles so brilliantly.
The second season of Looking is excellent with its well-executed plot arcs, great writing, realistic yet entertaining character development and its excellent cast performances.
While I did enjoy season one immensely, three episodes into season two, I'm beginning to agree with the San Francisco Chronicle's overall take of this installment. The authenticity is still somewhat present in season two, however, I'm beginning to visualize what's about to transpire as the cliché writing is really beginning to shine through.
This show portrays the **** community in a most superficial and shallow way. It focuses on characters that can’t maintain intimate relationship and are consumed by a culture of drug, alcohol, and sexual addiction. Yes, the show does authentically reflect what **** life in SF was like during those years but what about balance. I also want to see **** characters that committed themselves to political activism, human dignity, and just morally noble causes of the time.
