Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Ken Adams No wonder it got cancelled after 2 seasons. The characters are so annoying.Some Spoiler AlertPatrick - wishy washy, passive aggressive. Following Ritchie like a puppy when Ritchie told him multiple times he is not ready to get back. Or when he want to talk about something, then immediately says unless you don't want to? When he asked Kevin if he had ever hooked up while with his ex, like duh? Hello, he cheated on his ex for you! Etc, etc.Kevin - hard to root for a main character who is a cheater. And the plot didn't dwell into why he and his ex didn't get along, because all the scenes together they were like a model happy couple.Ritchie - what a boring dude. I would fall asleep if I was dating him. You would think someone that hit on somebody on a subway would have a lively personality. And he has the audacity to be dramatic when he trying to help Patrick bow-tie while he is driving and bringing weed to a family wedding? It just doesn't make sense.Agustin - what a loser, and how does he keeps on partying and eating out when he didn't have a job?Dom - only character that was slightly bearable, but that dramatic scene with him and ex in the lobby didn't add up to his type of personality. John - Kevin ex, only character likable, but then he isn't the main character so he was spared from the bad writing.

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.

Rubens Junior Most of the shows that tell stories about gay men usually are abusive with the clichés. Of course that HBO's "Looking" couldn't be different, but what saves the entire show is that it isn't appellative at any moment like the ostentatious and unrealistic porn-ish Queer As Folk, a show that unfortunately dictated somehow the gay culture because they used stereotyped characters as examples of what an utopian gay world should be in the future... and that future for the show is: countless friends with benefits, party at Babylon every night, drugs, riped muscles and six pack abs. All of that became reality when audience itself did start acting and pretending to be as those awful under constructed characters and their surreal fantasies. And if you are claiming right now that I am wrong, look around you for yourself.HBO takes its philosophy serious again taking real interests, facts and situations and placing them properly into a show. So even Looking be dealing with clichéd situations so far, the acting is real as well as the situations and the interests. You are not forced to believe on what is happening, you just take it as believable because the tone is coherent to what the characters are living at that moment and place.Of course that the three main characters are stereotypes of what we usually see in gay culture: the nerd and naive one that is single and looking hopelessly for someone; the beard one that has an open relationship and is looking for a true meaning in life; and the narcissistic metrosexual that is worried about his 40's and looking to be a successful chief... Which means that, unlike most people might think, this show isn't about people looking for encounters, this is all about looking for something in a very competitive place as San Francisco, from encounters to epiphanies.We never know how this three different characters became long time friends, as well as we never knew how Carrie Bradshaw became friends with her gals in the original Sex And The City series, but we stop caring about that when the show starts to get its way, growing gradually among the episodes. Once again the best thing of the show is that it never forces the audience to accept their friendship because they are not inseparable, and what holds the episodes is their lives individually.Eight episodes isn't enough to give a fair review about the show, but what is fair to say is that its few episodes gave it opportunity to conquer its place and become a high level one promising more relevant and interesting issues for next season more than casual sex and workout tips that we use to see everywhere. The ensemble cast calls its audience's attention because they know exactly what they are doing and they clearly are doing it to make it right.
