Groff offered his opinion on the general appeal of the series as reported on Huffington Post. He said, "One of the cool things about 'Looking' is that after the first season, a lot of people -- shockingly, liberal, open artists in New York and L.A. -- said they didn't know that gay people could have sex while facing each other... The show illuminated intimacy in sex [between men] without being porny or salacious. Those scenes felt very real and true to life. I was excited to do them." The television series received generally positive reviews from critics and despite its slow start with regards to ratings, managed to draw in an average of 2 million viewers.
The 30-year old actor and singer admitted that he became emotional when the cast reunited for the 'Looking' film. HBO canceled the series after only two seasons after it struggled to find an audience. The upcoming film will serve as a two-hour series finale.
