Date for "Looking" Film - HBO

[+ WilliamM]

HBO’s small, earnest, and unjustly canceledseries about gay men in San Francisco is finally getting some closure: Looking: The Movie will air on HBO from 10 to 11:30 p.m., on Saturday, July 23. Written by Andrew Haigh and Michael Lannan, and directed by Haigh, the wrap-up film seems to be less of a continuation of the series, and more of an epilogue, per HBO’s synopsis: "Patrick (Jonathan Groff) returns to the city 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." Will there be sex? Yes, lots. Will there be piri piri chicken? We can only hope.

Just a reminder about the almost ninety-minute "Looking" final episode tonight on HBO at 10:00 EDT

If you have Netflix take a look at Eastenders.

@foxy, I will take a look at Eastenders. As to the finale of "Looking," I do not want to post anything until others have had a chance to watch. Saturday night broadcast was not the best night. But, HBO did live up to its word, and filmed a finale.

I watched "Looking the Movie" last night; I really liked the series and like the movie too; great to see the SF scenes and especially liked Murray Bartlett's beard: hot! I wish we had the 6 seasons that were originally intended for the series.

Is it just me or did it look like Jonathan Groff may have actually been rimming the guy in that rimming scene? Kinda looked like he, um, really got up close there.

I still can't believe the show got cancelled.

It was a real niche show. I liked it but I felt like the episodes were too short and the seasons were too short and that was both frustrating and detrimental to building an audience. A season that totals 3 hours and 40 minutes of run time doesn't exactly give you time to build up buzz or even tell stories really. If it had been 12 episode seasons I think they could have done more with it.

I agree @sniper, there were not enough episodes per seasons. In reading comments on other gay sites, there were always many negative comments.

 

That happens when there is only one gay show on TV.

 

As I wrote above, HBO at least gave us one last show.

 

Thanks, HBO.
