I had high hopes for Sucka Free City

I thought this was a slow episode for sure but of course this isn’t anything like Girls. In particular I wouldn’t compare Lena Dunham’s direction and Andrew Haigh’s (“Weekend”) direction at all. Some of the shots in the first episode — the awkward, illicit opening scene in the park or the restaurant scene later where the camera lingers on Patrick’s astonished face several seconds after his bad date rejects him but then just goes on to talk about splitting the bill — are masterful in their subtlety. Nothin’ against Girls, it’s just a different show.

I’m also pretty thankful they didn’t make increasingly racist jokes about a Hispanic man’s penis. I’d never have thought that was something this show needed.

Also, note to Kat that the main character’s name is Patrick, not Jonathan (which is the actor’s name).

You’re probably right. When he went into the “El Rio bathroom” in EP 1 it was definitely not el rio. You really can’t count on exteriors matching interiors or anything matching up as you would expect in physical terms.

Ok, 90%? Can we go with that?

You’re correct that the exterior shot indicated they were heading that way (Market & Castro), but to me, the interior of the club looked more like Club OMG than The Cafe.

But its been forever since I was in the Cafe, you could totally be correct.

The gay club should be The Cafe. They were walking north on Castro towards The Cafe, which is at the corner of Castro and Market. When they’re dancing, you can see some dudes standing on an elevated platform, which is the back area at The Cafe.

As a genuine SF fag, let me tell you, he’s not even near the lower half of the worst of the SF gays. The gays are surprisingly bad at handling their gayness here. My drag queen friends are the best, cause they are keeping it motherfucking real. You want the good gays, head to Trannyshack.

Right, you can never be 100% sure you’re a straight, white guy.

Also, he’s kind of a bad San Franciscan. He’s lived here 8 years and never been to Doc’s Clock???

“the first cool show to be set and made in SF since forever”: it’s a different category for sure, but Mythbusters deserves some love for 15 years of Cesar Chavez-based, locally-filmed awesomeness. (see http://i.imgur.com/94RpPBR.gif)

Every character on Girls has quickly become insufferable. None of the characters on Looking have become insufferable yet. Fingers crossed!

I believe the “some gay club” was Club OMG (6th at Market).

It’s somewhat startling the amount of gay knowledge I have for being a straight white guy.

Anyways, pretty sure I’m right, but not 100% positive.
