Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Looking is an HBO series created by Michael Lannan that premiered on HBO on January 19, 2014. The story centers on three gay men in San Francisco, CA. There's Patrick (Jonathan Groff), a game designer with a considerable amount of insecurity issues and also a high level of social awkwardness, his best friend Agustín (Frankie J. Alvarez), the queerest of the group, modern, hip and artsy and Dom (Murray Bartlett), a Don Juan who's turning 40 and is struggling to succeed in life, which basically means to him to open a Peri-Peri Chicken restaurant.After two seasons, Looking was canceled by HBO due to low ratings. As consolation, a special one-off film was produced by HBO to wrap-up loose plot threads and provide closure.

Arc Symbol: The escapulario Richie gives Patrick in "Looking in the Mirror" makes two meaningful comebacks later in the show, when Patrick reaches for it inside his shirt after cheating on Richie with Kevin in "Looking Glass" and when he takes it out of his "valuables" moving box the day he moves in with Kevin in "Looking for Home".

Accidental Misnaming: In "Looking for a Plus-One", Dana mistakenly assumes Richie's name is Richard. In "Looking for Truth", Patrick can't correctly pronounce the name of Richie's cousin, Ceci.

Affectionate Nickname: Agustín and Dom call Patrick "Paddy", while Richie often calls him "Pato". note This has seemingly no relation to the Spanish word "pato", which means "duck" and is also used as a slang term for "gay". It is a common nickname for the name Patricio, which is the Spanish equivalent of the name Patrick.
