-

-
That show was crap. Good riddance.

I generally agree. Though it started out well and then just lost itself.
-
it was a good show i think, is there any specific time for the movie stayle finale?
-
Never thought it was up to much personally, very flimsy stuff. But we need more gay-centric shows on TV. even bad ones!
-
Well, I enjoyed it. I'm not quite sure what the nay-sayers want from a series like that. Good job they weren't forced to watch
And I think the finale is due nearer Christmas
-
Well it was a tad too serious for me - kinda like the 'L' word was.
Yeah QAF wasn't realistic - but it was fun to watch.
I freaking love the L word , its sad that we ( Males ) cant have a show with its calibre
QAF ( the original UK version ) was amazing , the US version was a parody of a bad b grade film
-
I don't understand why they cancelled the show when for me, it was a great show. But i still do hope it will air someday or atleast do web series instead.
-
Bad news, but I think I have heard this news before from somewhere, but still thank you for your updating.
-
I adored this show.
I hope the movie that ties up the series does so in a satisfying way. -
it was a great show
-
:cheesy2:
-
ainda bem, ô série ruim!
-
The 2nd season was definitely better than the first. Hope the movie is good too
-
dont know why they cancelled this . the show was good. Excited for the movie though
-
It is a great show, but quiet conservative regarding gay relationship.
-
It's so frustrating considering the finale of season 2 leaves to many things unresolved
-
Meh. I feel absolutely no sense of loss whatsoever. The characters were mostly bland and boring at best (aside from Daniel Franzese's character) and the prose dragged without anything entertaining to keep viewers interested. Not only did QAF have better paced story lines but it also had constant ever changing eye candy by way of the HDGBs at Babylon. And QAF got very political very fast. Looking seemed scared to want to do so (likely trying to entertain all and afraid to alienate anyone) and that was likely apart of its downfall. QAF kicked in the door hard from the first episode. Lets deal with the reality of older men dating/wanting younger men. Showtime had to put up a disclaimer. That's how you make a buzz. When Looking finally got to a fairly charged topic (the use of PReP) it seemed too scared to really touch it. In fairness, exploring the notion of serosorting withing a relationship was interesting as well but notice how it centered around Daniel 's character. The only person who truly was a character and not just playing a very dull version of themselves. And on a last note people keep speaking about "ALL" the diversity in the show. Seemed pretty white washed to be honest. Further, it was handled in the most white washed way. Was there ever any conflict around the TWO LONG TERM interracial relationships that took place in the show? Perhaps…but we'd never know it mattered. It had a very colorblind/we're all the same feel to it. Not only is that inaccurate, a dangerous notion to push forward but also plain boring to watch. The conflicts in the show never even elevated to high school drama. It was junior high school drama at best.
There was just no fun looking at Looking. Next.
