Looking is known as the gay version of sex and city, which corresponds to New York, the center of the erotic field in the straight world. Looking chose San Francisco. The first episode was intriguing to me, and most of it went to Patty, the somewhat lovable geek game designer. The first thing that attracts me is the appearance. At first glance, I think Patty has a standard gay look. Cute baby face, full of forehead, well done hairstyle, a little girlish voice, but his clothes and actions reveal a straight-acting Mommy boy, the whole person is a kind of playful feeling. . It makes me feel that there is such a person by my side, that it is some kind of mixture of A-jun + B-jun. It feels like he has the very real dilemma that everyone has, which is finding a balance between following certain rules and finding true love. And it turned out to be the case, Patty is indeed a Mommy's boy, from the beginning of receiving a phone call worrying about his mother's opinion to the end of Dom's advice to him, don't care too much about what your mom thinks. But indeed I can understand it very well, In fact, obeying mother's opinions is also a kind of straight acting performance. Even for many people who have come out of the closet, how to live as a gay is always a difficult problem. Patty's actor is indeed very good. I didn't think I had seen him at first glance. Later, I found out that I had seen him once among the good wives. The shape and performance of that time had no gay shadow at all. I have to say that it is malleable Pretty strong.
The other two lines revolve around Agustín and Dom. Agustin probably represents another stage. For many single people who are struggling to find one foot in the city, but how to manage a relationship, especially for gay couples, will never be an easy task. But the first episode didn't give him much more than a brief 3P scene. Dom is a hunter-like person with a good figure, but when he entered middle age, he had a bomb-like Ex. He wanted to get a colleague in this episode, but he didn't succeed. He probably represents how comrades should survive the mid-life crisis, and I look forward to more stories in the future. The three people's perspectives are very realistic.
In addition to the three protagonists are very realistic, the scene is also very realistic. What made me laugh was the little scene where Patty went to the bar to date the doctor. In just a few minutes, it was full of all kinds of awkward dating. It really happened around me, even between men and women, there was definitely a similar embarrassment, fully demonstrated American dating culture. The doctor was obviously not interested in the job of game designer from the beginning, and his tone was a little disdainful. Then he actually asked Patty if he had a mouse hand because of this occupation. Patty thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect the doctor to ask seriously. As well as being unable to answer each other’s questions while eating, trying to cite scriptures and pretending to be coercive but being corrected by the other party, and hesitating about ordering the second drink too quickly for the first drink, trying to tease the other party but being considered a casual person, and the last request. Don't split the billing issue. All the details are simply a complete book of awkward dating, and this scene alone makes me feel how realistic it is.
The reason why it is said that the production is well-made is the details and the guest actors. Network's dramas are good, but the highlights are definitely on the protagonist. For the sake of ratings, they don't think too much about the details. As an HBO drama, this drama is definitely a lot higher than the others. Patty's Japanese colleague has only a few lines but is very funny, Dom's ex-girlfriend (or wife) is also very interesting, and Patty's ex-boyfriend is also very good. As a comedy, the details are basically jokes, whether it's Ricki's cosmetology or Dom's put my energy into your universe, and Dom's complaining guests, including Patty can't help but play her hair against the glass before the date The eyes of the people are facing each other, which fully reflects the exquisiteness of the details. A shot of Patty getting her hair reflects Patty's character. These details and cameos make for a very tight 20-minute episode. In addition, the rhythm is also very good, the three lines go hand in hand, each episode echoes the beginning and the end, and at the same time leaves enough suspense for the next episode. The lens is also a must, with a strong sense of realism and substitution. All in all, from the level of the first episode, it is very worth looking forward to.
From the reviews I saw in several media, they were all praises, not bloody, showing the everyday life of the gay community, which is worth watching.
