It’s so cute that Josh gets so uncomfortable when there is a sex scene that he focuses on anything else in the scene. It’s the same kinda vibe when you are watching a movie with your parents and a sex scene comes one
As a Broadway fan/someone who works in the industry, Jonathan Groff is THE BEST! It has been a pleasure to see such a wonderfully talented nice guy get the recognition he deserves. Love him!!! there isn’t a pro shot but you may or may not be able to watch spring awakening with Jonathan Groff on your own time, there is also a gay storyline.
I love this show!! So glad you are watching ❤ don’t forget that to complete the series you have to watch the series finale “looking: the movie” released in 2016 😊
A condo is like an apartment that you own. They're usually much nicer than apartments. It's like, a house that's inside of a high rise building in a city rather than a standalone building.
I think I was about 14 when I watched this show for the first time, which was certainly… an experience. The characters are quite complex and sometimes not the most likeable which I think is where some of the backlash came from. Hope you enjoy!
Oh my gosh, I must have been around the same 😄 what a trip, going back in time to see just what the show was really all about... and how dirty it was for us to be watching in our early teens 😂 But nonetheless, what a beautiful essay of a show, from what I do remember :), and what gentle sweet people shown in the characters, creating awesome representation (to me anyway :)) But enjoy, these years later, reliving watching the show ☺
ps: the Scott character is played by Tanner Cohen who was also in Were the World Mine (a Midsummer Night's Dream riff) and Getting Go. you might like both of those.
@@AStoryWorthTelling I know you are always looking for more content for your channel and that you sometimes react to music. Have you heard of Superfruit? They are the two gay men in the a cappella group Pentatonix. They started their own side channel and call themselves Superfruit. Their channel has vlogs, challenges and music videos that I think you would enjoy. They have some songs partnered with Todrick Hall as well. They have a HUGE following and I think if you reacted to some of their content it would bring you new subscribers. They have a very loyal fan base. Just a suggestion ☺️. I will link one of their videos here: ruclips.net/video/r2Kh_XMIDPU/видео.htmlsi=dNlcvkiIZicdyDpm
Woo! I’m excited that you guys are loving this show! It’s funny that Alex said he can relate to the characters because if I remember correctly, when the show originally came out, the gay community wasn’t super welcoming to it. I think because they didn’t like the portrayal, but not 100% sure though. Also, a condo is just a flat/apartment that you own and pay a mortgage for instead of rent haha
A condo in the US is an individually owned flat. There can be any number of condos in a building organized under condominium law - with any number of separate owners - some units (sometimes most) end up as rental properties.
There's a little bit more to it than this. A condo is an individually owned unit where there's also community property and common charges that come with ownership for things like maintenance and staff.
I just recently saw this show for the first time when someone else was reacting to it, and though at times I had to push myself to watch it because it made me a bit uncomfortable, I was always glad I had watched it, and found I liked it more as the show went on. It does remind me a lot of the American version of Queer As Folk. I can’t honestly say that I relate to the characters or feel very represented by them, because my life has been fairly atypical of most gay men, I think. But I see how it could very much be relatable to a lot of gay men.
I loveeeeee this show and the movie. Watched it when it came out. Love the actors. Its a story with complicated LGBT characters, you often not like them, they make mistakes but you love them. They are human and not caricatures.
Is this a sign from God or what? I literally just watched this series today for the first time. The whole first season only for me to come on RUclips and the first thing I see is you guys reacting to itttt!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
the date scene was so uncomfortable!!! patrick (and all of them, really) is super unlikeable and awkward but i still love him somehow... jonathan groff they could never make me hate you. p.s. love you guys reacting to looking, it's one of my faves! hope you get around to season 2 soon-ish, can't wait
Oh it was really nice to watch these characters again with you. It was like a reunion with an old friend. I can see in some behaviors or technology that was 2014, not anymore in 2023, it is fun. Those actors are great.
I’m very glad your reacting to such a great piece of gay tv representation. San Francisco is the perfect place for this story to be told due to its history in fighting for LGBTQ rights. In San Francisco I don’t feel tolerated at a gay man, I feel celebrated 🎉. Please read all of the Tales of the City books, then watch this series.
You don't have condos in the UK? It is a flat but you buy it to own as part of the larger building and have to pay a fee like a rent to manage the common areas and costs. They're typically considered a poor substitute for housing ownership compared to single-family homes.
Just had to answer your question here (not sure if anyone told you), but an "Apartment" is when you rent a unit in a building, so you have a landlord and you normally sign a One Year lease, and you pay monthly (here in Canada, a two-bedrooms apartment can go from $800 to 1.6k a month, depending on the area); whilst a "Condo" even though it is also a unit in a building, the difference is that you own it, so you bought it for let's say 300k + extra fees for the Condo Association or whatnot. Don't know which one you'd call a flat in the UK, but thought i'd let you know hahah
Dinner is too long for a first date. Coffee or a drink is best, but I believe Andew Scott echoed this thought in an interview. You two are a great pairing.
I quite love a first date. I consider it to be a Charisma check challenge and also love the opportunity to assess a potential friend or partner to determine the level of investment that might be required to win over that person. High quality people are hard to find and the good ones always worth the effort.
Yes this was such a great enjoyable series and they also made a standalone movie a la Sex in The City which I recommend! Great soundtrack & lovable characters! I loved it because it showed me representation as a gay Mexican! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈♓️🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇺🇸✝️🙏☮️
@@AStoryWorthTelling OMG I forgot to mention I was at the Folsom Street Fair with a friend when we ran into the cast there filming an episode. Jonathan Groff is such a cutie!
Three weeks ago! I'm not going to let anyone get on me about this whole gay shit anymore. I am as gay as gay can be! these two haven't watched looking?? If they're gay, I'm gay. Settled.
Is it just me or does Josh kinda look like the guy at 0:43 in the official music video for boom clap by Charlie xcx? ruclips.net/video/AOPMlIIg_38/видео.htmlsi=KfmgsvwhaugOPehb
this show got so much undue sh1t when it first came out, both from homophobes and the gay community. i hope it somehow has a renaissance. i watched it live week to week when it was airing, it was a good solid show! lol.
Controversial opinion, but the 2000's US Queer as Folk is much better than the original. Yes, every version of that show is problematic, but they're all more entertaining than Looking.
Can't believe we didn't react to this show sooner! it's brilliant and a must watch ;)
Season two gets really full on. You'll love it...but my fav is the movie. P.s. drive disease free 😊
I was heartbroken when it was canceled. I love this series!
Jonathan Groff was also King George in Hamilton.
@@flechesbleuesLove The Weekend! Such a a beautiful movie!
I celebrate that you have chosen this tv show. Pls review movie version, and weekend, which is a beatuful movie directed by the same director.
Dom in this was also the hotel manager in S1 “White Lotus”, and Frank in “The Last of Us.”
It’s so cute that Josh gets so uncomfortable when there is a sex scene that he focuses on anything else in the scene. It’s the same kinda vibe when you are watching a movie with your parents and a sex scene comes one
I watched this show 8 years ago and it changed the trajectory of my life 😭

Amen! Holds up very, very well on repeated viewings. Commentary tracks on the DVD release are also great.
I love this show!! So glad you are watching ❤ don’t forget that to complete the series you have to watch the series finale “looking: the movie” released in 2016 😊
We absolutely will! X
The creator of this show also directed “Weekend”. If you like this you should definitely heck out that movie.
And Andrew Haigh also directed/wrote the film All of Us Strangers with Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal, which has gotten an incredible reception.
wow happy you guys are reacting to this masterpiece
it really is a masterpiece!

100, definitely 🤣, maybe more ;)

It's soo good!
Finally a reaction to this show 😭😭

Its very relatable. Maybe sometimes when things are just too close to comfort we don't like it? But we think it's great representation!
@@AStoryWorthTelling I 100% agree, and I think it's great representation too!
@@AStoryWorthTelling At the time, the gays wanted a sexier show. They thought Looking was boring.
Just watching these two watching chatting and laughing is the main thing worth watching here😅

Oh man, I forgot about this show! I remember loving it when it was first on. Can't wait to rewatch it with you guys!
Omg! I'm so exited for Looking! I love this show. Please continue
Oh we definitely will! X
Make sure you watch the movie after watching series. Because the show was randomly canceled and the movie gives the characters closure.
A condo/condominium is a flat which you purchase where as an apartment is a flat that you rent/lease.
There's a little bit more to it than this. A condo is an individually owned unit where there's also community property and common charges that come with ownership for things like maintenance and staff.
YES! I am ready to re-wacth this show with you guys!!
It really is a great show!

It really is brilliant representation of 'real!'LGBTQ people! We love it x
Agreed! I watched this back when it came out and loved it!
Fantastic...... Andrew Haigh's masterpiece along with Weekend (2011)
ASWT should cover Weekend as well!!
And now All Of Us Strangers (2023), an incredible film with Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell.
Actually Jonathan Geoff plays Christoph and the rain deer!
I liked the character played by Russell Tovey in this series
Hmm we haven't met them yet! Spoilers!
@@AStoryWorthTelling I'll let you make up your own mind about the character. I watched him in Quantico after he appeared in Looking.
Zaddy!
Aww yes Kevin 😍
@@AStoryWorthTellingNo Spoiler but his character’s name is Kevin 😍
Omg I think I’m gonna need to subscribe to the Patreon for this s***t, god I loved this show

never heard of this show but i like jonathan groff so im excited!
Please, watch the full episodes. It is a great show!
After you review the 2 seasons, don't forget about the movie that wraps everything up.
I would have been at that club for sure. But awkward explaining the business card thing.

Condos are kinda like apartments but more bigger and more luxurious I would say lol
I can't understand how people can cheat on someone so easily...I am so hurt and agressive about that whole scene
These two end up having a real connection.
I'm still pissed this show was cancelled!

A condo (short for condominium) is a flat that you buy, not rent.
Was just gonna write that exact same sentence! 😂
Great show!
The guy you said was hot is Murry Bartlet from White Lotus...
LOVE 'Looking' ❤
It's soo good!
ahhhhhhhhhhhh I love Looking so much 🤩
So do we, can't believe we didn't review it before!

Hbo
Is this show on streaming?
The original US version of QaF was so much better than Looking. Unfortunately Looking was too similar to HBO’s Girls.
this show got so much undue sh1t when it first came out, both from homophobes and the gay community. i hope it somehow has a renaissance. i watched it live week to week when it was airing, it was a good solid show! lol.
also the movie was good too
Is everyone in San Francisco gay....yes. ofcourse they are.
I,m Soory I,m Not Gay But If A Gay Man Thinks He Can Prove me Wrong Please come to Ohio
Lmao people in San Francisco HATE “San Fran” 😂
The one I was told NEVER to say is Frisco. Woof.
these characters and this show is messy. cant wait to keep watching your reactions to it. its why i started watching the white lotus.
