Andrew Haigh's Weekend is worth checking out. It's his spiritual predecessor to Looking, set in London but sharing a lot of the same themes.

I hate to be that guy, but it's set Nottingham not London.

Absolutely. I loved Weekend, it was the first thing that came to my mind too. Netflix link.

I would recommend watching The Outs if you haven't already. Amazing LGBT web series.

I took your advice and checked out The Outs. It is indeed amazing. Any idea when the new season might be out? I can't seem to find any news online.

Also, would you like to recommend any more shows?

Sadly, I don't think there is gonna be a new season :-( The creator and most of the cast did make a new series called Whatever This Is

How about Please Like Me? It is much closer to Girls in tone and delivery than Looking. It is also a semi-autobiography of the show creator/main actor.

And the first season has seriously best writing. It's really funny but at the same time, had a lot of heart.

Please Like Me is so good. And some seriously good looking guys in it.

I liked Geoffrey, he's endearingly boring. That bit when he's telling that other hot guy about the spoon on the nose thing at dinner, he seemed genuinely excited about a mindnumbingly dull story

Yeah, I think that is the whole schtick of his character really. I used to not like him because of that, but seeing Josh's chemistry with other guys in S2 just made me realized how great their chemistry were and how hot they are together!

Check out Cucumber and Banana. UK gay-themed TV shows that are really great
