Abstract

This article compares Andrew Haigh’s HBO series, Looking, with his feature films Weekend and 45 Years. It addresses the role of the showrunner, particularly in relation to transmediality and transnationality suggesting there is a convergence between British film and American quality television. In doing this, it also addresses the particularities of Haigh’s style, representations of homonormativity and LGBT+ characters in popular television and the representation of national and ethnic difference in Looking.
