Today we’re learning about the first two episodes of Looking season 1 which are set to debut in January.

Looking season 1, episode 1 “Looking For Now”

After a park-cruising experiment is derailed by a phone call, 29-year-old video-game designer Patrick (Jonathan Groff) meets up with his best friends, roommate Agustín (Frankie J. Alvarez), 31, and Dom (Murray Bartlett), 39, to discuss the impending wedding of his ex. The next morning, Agustín agrees to move in with his boyfriend, Frank (O-T Fagbenle), in Oakland, though he wonders if domesticating is the right move. Dom, who’s been a waiter at the same restaurant for years, tells his roommate, Doris (Lauren Weedman), that he’s thinking of reconnecting with old flame Ethan (Derek Ray), who has a successful real-estate career. Later, Patrick meets up with OkCupid date Benjamin (Matt Wilkas); after the date goes south, Patrick is chatted up on the Muni by Richie (Raúl Castillo), a cute barber who also works the door at a Latin drag club in the Mission.

Looking season 1, episode 2 “Looking For Uncut”

When Dom helps Agustín move his belongings to Frank’s house in Oakland, the two question whether Patrick is capable of a casual sexual relationship, despite his assertion that he’s tired of searching for a boyfriend. Back in San Francisco, Dom meets up with his LA-ified ex Ethan, and seems intrigued when Ethan tells him he’d like to “start over” as friends. Later, Patrick and Richie go out on a date, but a tipsy Patrick becomes a little too focused on personal details.

After reading these two synopses, it’s clear that this show is going to be a very appealing, unique, and relatable show for the gay community.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a great gay drama on TV, and although Queer as Folk is arguably not a very honest depiction of life for the gay community, it was one of the more popular gay-centric shows on television. Could Looking be the next Queer as Folk?

Looking will air Sunday nights beginning January 19 at 10:30 p.m. and will follow new episodes of Girls season 3.
