Patrick (Jonathan Groff) “returns to San Francisco for the first time in almost a year to celebrate a momentous event with his old friends. In the process, he must face the unresolved relationships he left behind and make difficult choices about what’s important to him.”The same men behind the series, executive producers Andrew Haigh and Michael Lannan, penned the script, with Haigh also serving as director.
"Looking” is one of the few shows that exists to look forward to, to indulge in and to simply love. And, like many shows in television history, “Looking” falls into that category of shows that are low-rated but highly loved. “My So-Called Life,” “Friday Night Lights,” the recently departed “Parenthood” are all shows that had rabid fan bases but lived as long as they lived because ratings were not the bottom line.
“Looking” doesn’t just settle into focusing on the love lives of their main characters since the friendships between Patrick (Jonathan Groff), Dom (Murray Bartlett), Agustin (Frankie J. Alvarez) and Doris (Lauren Weedman) are as deep, complex and important as anything else on the show. Take episode 207, where Patrick, Dom and Doris head to Modesto for the unexpected funeral of Doris’s father. It would be alarming if Doris had embarked on that journey alone instead of taking Dom and Patrick with her since, like many gay people, family ends up becoming the friends you choose more than the people who share your last name.Keep reading why Halterman says he, and the public, is not done with "Looking" HERE.
When I saw "Brokeback Mountain," I was in a closeted relationship and went to go see it with my boyfriend, so that was really intense for the both of us. We left the theater in total horrified silence. And I remember being in high school and seeing "Queer as Folk" playing on the TV in the background at a party and being intrigued, but too embarrassed to go turn up the volume and actually watch it. "Will & Grace" was a big one, too, when I was growing up. And even though I didn't personally relate to Will or Jack, it was just great to watch them every week and not feel so alone. Also, it was such a great show!Read HERE.
The new Jan/Feb issue of Winq is out NOW, with three amazing exclusives… As hit TV series "Looking" returns we talk to heart-throb Jonathan Groff, one of the leading men, formerly of "Glee" and Disney’s "Frozen."
