The sexual tension between characters played by Jonathan Groff and Russell Tovey in HBO’s terrific new series Looking is enough to knock us off the love seat. The premium cable network has just released a new and longer trailer (above) for the dramedy and it’ll undoubtedly have gay viewers marking their calendars for the January 19 premiere.
Groff appealingly plays Patrick, one of a trio of friends (the others are Frankie Alvarez, and Murray Bartlett) trying to navigate the challenging gay dating pool in San Francisco, who develops a “will-they-or-won’t-they” relationship with his supervisor (British heartthrob Tovey).
“I asked out my boss while straddling a torpedo,” Groff laments to a friend.
Looking‘s relatable characters, believable dialogue and often-awkward situations (Andrew Haigh, director of the hit gay romance Weekend, is a behind-the-scenes talent) combine to create what is surely one of the most authentic representations of queer life yet depicted on the small screen.
