Look: The Series is an American television drama series that was broadcast on Showtime from October 10 to December 19, 2010. It is written, produced, and directed by Adam Rifkin. Based on the 2007 film of the same title, Look is shot entirely from the point of view of security cameras.
Look follows several interweaving storylines over the course of a week in Los Angeles, some including characters carried over from the original film, others featuring actors from the film returning as different characters. According to the series, there are now approximately 30 million surveillance cameras in the United States generating more than 4 billion hours of footage every week.[1] Both the film and the series raise questions about privacy and security for the audience in a world with a high proliferation of cameras.
