The series premiere of Looking on HBO didn’t attract much of an audience but the ratings improved slightly as the season progressed. Will the numbers continue to grow or, will they trickle downward in season two? Cancelled or renewed for a third season? We’ll have to wait and see.
Looking revolves around three gay friends (Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, and Murray Bartlett) in San Francisco as they make their way in the world, looking for personal and professional fulfillment. Also starring are Lauren Weedman, Russell Tovey, and Raul Castillo.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Looking TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Please renew this show. It it terrific!
I love this show and subscribed to HBO specifically for it. It is really funny and well written.
omg, not yet renewed? it’s a joke?
seriously, hbo, you must renew this show… i suscribe to OCS (french distributor of OCS), only for LOOKING, will be very disapointing not to have a 3rd season (and a 4th, to know the end of the visa story of Kevin…)
Please renew this show. I think it’s a great show with really super actors, but the show is too short. It should be an hour long. 30 minutes isn’t enough.
PLEASE RENEW AND MAKE FULL HOUR!!
HBO, you have a gem of a show that, although may not have a lot of viewers, is going to be a classic. The characters, the writing, the acting, and the realness of the show is going to be discussed for years as a show ahead of its time.
This is just a stunning show. I tell as many people as I can about it. Season 1 #5, where Patrick and Richie go on a date and it’s just the two of them, blew me away. The finale, at the wedding, was great — would love to see more of Patrick’s family again. This year, the recent funeral episode, with the [SPOILER] car accident and then Kevin’s confession….wow! It was a seductively low-key episode….then BANG! Literally. Which set us up for Kevin and ….BANG again. Nothing like it on TV. Keep up the good work!
Es la mejor serie de temática gay que se ha hecho nunca. ¿Por qué? Porque refleja la homosexualidad de una forma tan natural, con sus miedos, con sus alegrías, etc… Refleja perfectamente el mundo de los homosexuales sin tapujos, pero si caer en lo vulgar. Pero, cuidado con su música, es soberbia.
Looking makes my heart jump. The writers captured everything that us gay men go through and it’s beyond amazing. The characters/actors are insanely incredible. I do not know if everyone is gay but they really act out all of gay mens emotions and thoughts. I hope this show can stay on the air forever. If it didn’t I would hate tv. The most significant reason as to why I watch this show, is obviously because I relate to it and I think a lot of people can. This isn’t just for the gays however, it shows people a little insight… Read more »
My friends and I love this show ! I handles what we all deal with thru our lives and it does it well. Looking is refreshing sitting in the middle of heterosexual TVLand. I like the fact Doris is a major character too. And IMHO 30 mins is fine for a show, I love Lucy was 30 minutes, when it went to an hour it got longgg!
Looking is a great counter point to “***** as Folk” which is a little darker, lighter is good.
This is a great show. My biggest complaint is it always leaves you wanting more. But its not enough, so I hear from my friends. So here is my thoughts either increase the show to an hr and give it all it needs. Writers need to step up!! Give the show what it deserves or just cancel and remove it!! This little 30 min tease every week doesn’t cut it!!! its ********!! Quite actually its getting boring! Replace the writers!!
This show has finally found itself and putting out truly relevant story lines. I really hope it gets renewed, because it keeps getting better and better.
This show is fantastic and has really found it’s groove. I depicts gay life in a real way dealing with normal reactions and relationships. I’m gripped in the drama and most episodes allow for laughter and tears. Actors are all great and very believable. This needs a recommision in a world where there is minimum gay dipicted output we must have a series 3.
This show is fantastic! Well written, excellently acted, please renew for season 3. It just gets deeper and richer with each episode. Love the characters and their story lines!!
I really love this show, its just a very short time they have. 27, 28 mins is not enough. HBO on you renewal make the show 40 to 50 mins just like True Blood before. RENEW THIS SHOW!
