Three best friends living in San Francisco share the nuances and complexities of contemporary gay relationships as they explore a variety of options, both in love and in life. They are unified by their close bond, but their search for happiness and intimacy has taken them on separate paths. Patrick is a 29-year-old video game designer who is dating again after his ex's engagement; Agustin, 31, is apprehensive about choosing monogamy and domesticity instead of the excitement of city life; and longtime waiter Dom is at a crossroads, as middle age approaches and his romantic and professional goals remain unfulfilled. The trio's lives unfold against the backdrop of San Francisco's progressive, unpredictable, almost-anything-goes culture, and "Looking" makes full use of the city's unique character -- with filming taking place in more than 40 locations and in various neighborhoods throughout the Bay Area.

Hank Stuever Washington Post [It] is the network's best and most original effort in the half-hour category since Enlightened. Those who stuck with its first season were treated to a story that took a modern, downbeat vibe and extended it into full, fragile beauty in eight episodes. Jan 12, 2015 Full Review Brian Moylan Guardian I'm a whole lot more excited about finding out what this season has in store than I was at the end of season one. Jan 12, 2015 Full Review Brandon Nowalk AV Club Everyone is pretty much where we left them. Rated: B+ Jan 12, 2015 Full Review Matt Brennan Paste Magazine On rooftops and in basements, in Golden Gate Park and the East Bay, Looking found a finely crafted realism perfect for its subdued storytelling, underlining its characters' halting adventures in adulthood with intricate compositions and fluent camerawork. Jun 2, 2018 Full Review Jessica Rawden CinemaBlend Looking is special thanks to its subject matter and its characters, and it's a shame there aren't more people championing a show that's emotionally real and often puts its characters into funny circumstances. Mar 12, 2015 Full Review Robert Ham Paste Magazine What I admired most about this first episode was how the writers set up the season's biggest themes and story arcs while also giving the characters ample time to cut loose. Rated: 8.8/10 Jan 13, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

J B I am obsessed with this series. I completely connected with it and just want more. HBO needs to bring it back to air. It's that good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review britton u this show captures the feeling of walking around san fransisco, just taking in the moment, wanting to be nowhere else. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/22 Full Review Audience Member An extension of Season 1, its the perfect continuation of the series: a non-pretentious look at gay life rooted in a more realistic setting: people working average jobs (hair dresser, social service workers, mixed with software designers) and showing that gay life isn't all posh and high income earners. I also love that its a diverse cast, because there aren't enough gay latino voices on TV, yet half the cast revolves around gay latinos. It goes where a lot of other shows haven't and its a must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than Season 1, and great look at Patrick's tragically realistic life. Sad that it couldn't continue, but really how much of a disaster can one character be for so long without imploding? Recommended watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Sweet story. We have to know what will be happened next!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this show. Season 2 had a bit of a different vibe, with different challenges and situations in their life. It's so raw and insane and beautiful, with really great characters that i love to live through and i hope the closing special next year gives the show justice.
