Wow. Even if you didn't love the pilot, there's no way you can't be looking forward to seeing Jonathan Groff in this little getup, grabbed from Slate's fun article by a "gay extra" who talks about his day on the set of "Looking" HERE.

I caught the first episode. The pace is slow. The characters are kind of bland. I give the producers credit for including gay Latino characters and at least one Asian one. Although it's set in San Francisco, the city seems cloaked. You don't get a sense of the place. The show also lacks spunk, the comedic pulse of its lead-in GIRLS. Still, I am going to give the show a chance to see some further character development. What did you think?
@Johnny: I enjoyed it and thought it had a lot of potential. I like the SF scene about as much as I like Brooklyn, so the Anytown effect didn't bother me. I also loved "Weekend" and the similiar slow, slice-of-life pacing. Guess you can't please everyone!
Reading your comment under the pic, my dyslexia kicked in to reveal the problem with LOOKING -- you wrote "pilot" my brain read "plot". Yep, there isn't a plot, yet, developed to intrigue the mind.
Based on the preview cuts used in the promos, I was expecting an its a 2014 refresher of Tales of the City; a big let down from my over-expectation.
