East Wrote:Yeah...I like Lynn too. My favorite was Dom but I kinda like Richie a little more now after the second episode....
Augustin is a very true to life character...and he is a mess. I don't hate him though...I see people like him as a car with no brakes....I definitely don't love the guy or even really like him...but I do know people like him...or at least I used to....
you might be right about him being a mess. i have a low tolerance for hypocrisy though.
Richie is decent. he knows what he wants and what he doesn't want. doesn't try to be something he's not. he's upfront, connected to reality, and honest. i like those qualities.
I didn't get GoT the first couple of episodes I watched but I gave it another try. by season 3, I was HOOKED and now it is one of my favorite series on the telly!
Grrr...I am kinda mad that I started to like Kevin last night.....damnit. I liked it better when I didn't like him. The sex scenes were ...uh...realistic....same with Richie and Patrick...they do sex scenes rather well LOL
I thought Dom overreacted when he asked Lynn about him trying to help. Dude...networking...one door opens another....the rugby game looks like fun...sorta...it also looks like you could die....
I wanted to see what Doris's date had under the covers...

I think you're right, Agustin is still looking for himself, and hasn't yet found himself. He's still LOOKING for happiness, for what would make his life complete and creative. He's looked at art, and finds he's a shitty artist, so he still needs to be looking.
All three men are LOOKING for that elusive happiness, that elusive perfect couple, that elusive partnership.
That's why the series is so well written. Something tells me it's VERY San Francisco, actually. So many possibilities, and yet it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. As for Patrick, he's also looking for acceptance, after dilly dallying a lot about whether he should or shouldn't. He's now having this crucial choice to make between Ritchie (probably the sensible choice, but with issues, social class, aspirations, social background and religion stuff) and his boss, the one who's already a time bomb with his official partnership. The boss is the fun distraction, but he's also a bit of a loose cannon. Can he be trusted? He's too secretive... possibly too "foreign". Is he genuine or just using Patrick?

At least we got a little bit of cock shot in the rugby players' shower scene...
We've starting watching it off the DVR with season 2, and are back tracking through the first season and have gotten as far as the first 4 (3?) episodes. Like [MENTION=18508]East[/MENTION] , LOOKING reminds me of earlier times in the 90's when I was a more social bar fly (younger and single then) and all the stereotypical guys/friends hanging in bars and their trials and tribulations trying to hookup/date. I've told my BF several times the guys on LOOKING act JUST like him and his friends X, Y, and Z.
While I liked QAF, LOOKING has some kind of quality that just seems more ... realistic... to me than QAF had as a gay show.

I think Queer As Folk had something unreachable about it. That's not my life, that's not many people's life, I thought.
I can relate more to the seeking going on in Looking. But then the shows are made with two very different perspectives. Looking is trying to be realistic about the 21st century, Queer As Folk needed to send an electric shock through the population at a time when AIDS was being such a dampener of men's ardours.

Oh, which version are you talking about? The British one, or the American one?
The American version, going with all the seasons, had some good things about it, that it brought several gay issues to the fore at a time when it was just emerging.
