Straight Edge Rebellion

Why You Should Take a Peek at HBO’s Looking

As a massive fan of dramadies, HBO programming, and Jonathan Groff, I was very much anticipating the release of the new show Looking. If you haven’t heard about it yet, Looking follows three friends as they clumsily navigate their way through relationships, love, and careers. The first season just wrapped up, and it has been announced that the show will be renewed for a second season.

Actions, though: that’s what is going to change your mindset and have that worrywart headache out the door.
