Members Taoboi Posted October 7, 2014 Members Share Posted October 7, 2014 I also love the style, Eric so don't worry. I think hey should just let it occur organically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted October 10, 2014 Members Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) I wish they hadn't used that same publicity shot they used for everything else (though it is beautiful). Couldn't they have come up with something else?!! Edited October 10, 2014 by YRBB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted October 10, 2014 Members Share Posted October 10, 2014 Excepted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 17, 2014 Members Share Posted October 17, 2014 A couple of weeks ago, I saw a casting notice for a paraplegic gay character on the show (an actor really in a wheelchair), so it looks like they really are trying to get all of the bases covered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted October 17, 2014 Members Share Posted October 17, 2014 God, I don't want this show to become THAT type of show at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 18, 2014 Members Share Posted October 18, 2014 It's starting to feel a little Degrassi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 18, 2014 Members Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yep, that's my fear as well. I hope they didn't simply cave to pressure for the show to be all gay things to all gay people. The show was already dealing with some interesting diversity issues that they could have explored more deeply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted October 18, 2014 Members Share Posted October 18, 2014 And Degrassi is bad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 19, 2014 Members Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ha, of course not! It's like Captain Planet, "We got one of each, folks!" I'm all for representation, and maybe Looking will handle it in a way that is organic and less obvious. That said, I wish soaps that boast casts into the thirties would make the effort towards such thorough minority representation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 19, 2014 Members Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Exactly. No excuse for the GH, Days, Y&R, and B&B to be so lily-white and full of tokens when shows like Shonda's dramas and possibly Looking are diversifying their casts (and most importantly, given minorities lead parts and front burner status) to great success.

Members Taoboi Posted October 20, 2014 Members Share Posted October 20, 2014 ^^^True. There should be more diversity for sure. But given the characters we have, is it truly realistic that they would hang with people of a different ethnicity beyond what we have seen so far? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 That's how I feel about Looking. The show could easily delve more into Agustin's self-loathing or include more of Richie's perspective. There's no reason to go full Degrassi, to use SFK's term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 Is the show returning soon? I can only assume yes since there seems to be a lot more activity in this thread lately.... Not really excited about all the new characters....they barely explored the cast they had from the first season and yet it feels like they've doubled/tripled the number of people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm assuming it'll come back alongside Girls in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
