“Looking” debuted on HBO in Jan. 2014, winning critical praise over its two-season run. Among the accolades, *Vanity Fair* called it “a rarity in television … an affirming, sexy, cathartic show,” while the* New Yorker* hailed the series as “a stealth breakthrough,” and the Huffington Post called it “one of the sweetest and most romantic shows on television.” While the series focused primarily on a group of gay friends, the themes were universal, including falling in love, finding professional fulfillment, forging an identity in a complicated world and searching for happiness.
