Looking (2016 TV Movie)
6/10
A Nice Goodbye to the characters we have come to admire
24 February 2017
I followed this HBO serial based around a group of mainly gay friends in San Francisco. The main character Patrick returns to his old haunts here and is looking for some sort of 'closure' on his past but instead everyone wants to carry on where they all left off.

Now those that loved the series that have gone before will find 'more of the same' here and so love it. However, it also manages to bring most of the negative baggage from the two seasons which was sort of inevitable. That is also where it has its flaws.

If you identify with the characters and the happenings it is much easier to get into this. I found it very watchable but not the best serialised gay themed drama ever and wanting on a few occasions – I did really enjoy the first season but thought the seconds so lack lustre that I only finished it out of some sort of loyalty. This though is better and so a fitting way to say a final goodbye.
