Dubbed as the gay ‘Girls’, HBO releases the first official trailer of highly-anticipated gay drama comedy ‘Looking’.

The 30-second trailer, which debuted yesterday evening, focuses on the main character Patrick is played by gay actor Jonathan Groff.

It introduces the premise of the show by chronicling Patrick’s search for a roommate on dating service OKCupid as well as the story of a group of gay friends living in San Francisco.

The trailer shows other plot-lines including a man going through a mid-life crisis at 40, open relationships and searching for “someone who understands you.”

Patrick says at the end: “That’s not easy to find.”

Jonathan Groff, known for his work in ‘Glee’, says he hopes the show delivers on its hype by depicting the “reality of gay sex.”

The 28-year-old recently spoke with Out magazine about the highly anticipated show. Groff, who is gay himself, admitted he has filmed some sex scenes.

“We’re not showing sex to be sexy, necessarily,” Groff noted. “When is the last time we’ve seen gay sex dealt with in a very frank and realistic way? Normally, it’s very salacious and sexy, which it is, but there are complicated things about having sex as gay men that I think hopefully we’ll address on our show.”

The first episode will be directed by “Weekend” director Andrew Haigh.

It will also feature openly gay British actor Russell Tovey.
Could be good I guess, depends if it's as funny as Girls (season 1, they went all crazy and melodramatic in season 2). I watched a couple of gay-focussed programs (Hunting Season, The Outs) but they were either really small-scale or really obsessed with sex and hot gays. Hopefully this is more realistic.

OMG Russell bumming people.

Best show ever.

It seems 2014 there will be an influx of gay shows, with Russell T Davis' two, and I saw another one advertised, but I forgot it.

I watched Russell talking about this on Chatty Man; I thought it sounded like a good show.

The trailer has me more excited now...btw, does anybody actually watch Girls? Is it worth watching?

the first season of Girls was perfect. Really fun, really cute, loveable characters... and then in season 2 they just turned them into really repetitive, whiney bitches who had stupid crises and breakdowns... hopefully S3 is better.

The first two episodes have been really brilliant imo.

I can't wait for Russell.

Is Looking actually funny? Because the trailers don't really show off much humor.

I don't like shows to have too much focus on the romance though unless it has a large focus on humor, otherwise it's very dull for me.

Looking is on HBO so it can survive on DVD sales if it sells well enough, and other merchandise would probably help it as well.

I thought it was pretty poor. :/
