And his apparent boyfriend is bangin'.

I was wondering if maybe it was Aaron who got spiked on the ice sculpture and not Roman, thus Roman is in fact still alive?

Something was really off about Xo's eye makeup. So much green. Witch undertones.

It reminded me so much of this Drag Race lip sync: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Agreed. Also, I think the show told us no fewer than three times who Milos was, which was way too much hand-holding on a show that usually knows where to draw the line.

Honestly, the people who hate on Looking seem to do it c o n s t a n t l y. For a start, just let it go. The line that bothers me most is the complaint that nothing happens, but that just tells me they're not very competent watchers because something is always happening on Looking, it's just that the show asks you to…

Perhaps you could put those down to the cultural differences between the more staid Britain of the era and the US moving towards and then beyond Stonewall, with a stepping-into-the-light type self-examination?

True, but they're sort of worlds apart. PLM is partially produced in Australia by another network (though somewhat reluctantly, if said network's treatment of it is anything to go by) and is a major critical success for a minor network, where Looking is the product of the major cable network and an underappreciated…

I really hope you're right. (And as far as I'm concerned, a show starring Laura Dern and Diane Ladd is as gay as it gets.)

Yeah, I know they aren't…I suppose I'm just not confident that Looking can get an S3 if Enlightened couldn't, given that the latter was more broadly and loudly acclaimed. But at the same time, it's basically the only 'gay show' on TV so it might get extra points just for that (and the fact that surely by now HBO can't…

Are ratings really growing? I thought they were basically as low as ever. The Jan 25 episode was watched by fewer than 400k people in L+3.

"Can I interest you in a show about how difficult hetero relationships are?"
"Which one?"

I got more of that inference from his "won't it be very Stonewall, with drag queens and whatnot?" line, which is the kind of thing I would either yell at a guy for saying or just stop talking to him for altogether. I know Patrick has a bit of internalised misogyny built-in (remember when he imitated a camp gay guy?…

Me too. It's one of my favourite films, a tour-de-force of shame and self-hatred. I cannot imagine what young queers would think of it nowadays, but I keep meaning to campaign for some sort of restoration of its relevance because all you'd have to do is change some wording and it'd be just as scathingly on-point about…

I saw this the other day, and it is goddamn lovely. Directed with similar low-key flair to Haigh and his cohort of Looking directors.

I mean, if Hello Ladies warrants one…

I'm still laughing at the delivery of "Starsky with Hookers".

Ugh, let's hope her family isn't connected to cartels. That would be a supremely unnecessary stereotype to buy into.

Peacock hope, all ye who enter here.

I guess the anti-Transcendence brigade just evaporated into thin air.
