That would be a sure fire way to alienate a significant amount of the audience because all sympathy would be with Richie who himself wouldn't be true to character if he continued to have anything to do with Patrick.<br /><br />I'll keep watching ... for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-78161750326713786942014-02-25T20:56:14.779-05:002014-02-25T20:56:14.779-05:00"Looking" is possibly my new fave show. ..."Looking" is possibly my new fave show. Every one of the characters is a reflection of me at some point in my life -- except for the Scott Bakula character, cuz I'm not THAT old yet! All the haters can suck it.

I don't hate them, I'm just severely underwhelmed. It might be something Haigh does purposefully, but Augustine is exactly the same kind of meh character for me.George Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122077625605910085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-76131989945380525622014-02-25T16:24:10.222-05:002014-02-25T16:24:10.222-05:00Not sold on it.

Even though last week episode was a big improvement over the previous ones (the pilot and Looking for the Future belong to two completely different series), I still think the show is too infatuated with its main characters to explore other more interesting ones. And that's a lesson Girls learnt from the beginning (see Adam vs Marnie). Sorry, I just love Girls and it has become my standard to measure quality.<br /><br />That said, thanks for the gif. iggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-45728934107551706762014-02-25T13:28:54.111-05:002014-02-25T13:28:54.111-05:00I like how this show defies traditional storytelli...I like how this show defies traditional storytelling: there is no beginning, middle, and end in a single episode. It simply feels like we're dropping in on these people's lives, and the only thing that disappoints me is that the episodes are so short. I truly hope it gets renewed.<br /><br />And if I wasn't sold before, seeing Groff naked last night would've sealed it for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-62286390964126958612014-02-25T13:13:09.317-05:002014-02-25T13:13:09.317-05:00It took me til that fourth episode, when they are ...It took me til that fourth episode, when they are walking around my favorite city just talking like they part of a lost Before Sunrise set piece, that I really got into it. (I'm not caught up yet).<br /><br />I agree with you that Augustin is the steamy pile of non-interesting in between the crunchy awesomeness that are the other two characters.<br /><br />Where's the other show that this show actually wants to be but isn't? You know, the show with Scott Bakula as the hot silver-fox piece of ass and also starring Augustin's hot boyfriend who's way more interesting than him, with Patty and that hot bearded bartender adding in colorful dialog? That's what the show needs to be about. <br /><br />Why are the side characters always more compelling to me?

I feel like the show's deliberate pace and approach is really starting to pay off. Plus, Jonathan Groff naked!Roarknoreply@blogger.com
