There's something I've got to get off my chest: This season of Looking is pretty damn good. And even though there isn't enough Eddie and nearly ZERO CECI WHICH IS UNFORGIVABLE, there's still enough redeeming material to make up for at least some of the fucking up Patrick did. » 2/24/15 2:30pm 2/24/15 2:30pm

Here it is, because we have to talk about it: a character on Girls had an abortion, and it was very chill. Adam's new girlfriend Mimi-Rose politely declined his request to go for a jog, telling him, "I can't go for a run because I had an abortion yesterday." The scene that followed was both laudable in its… » 2/23/15 4:30pm 2/23/15 4:30pm

Last week: Richie made an appearance, Patrick was a dumbass and Agustin, as always, was a huge fucking asshole of the worst order. This week: Pretty much more of the same, except more enemas and less Richie. But more Eddie and rimming, so... win?

In an episode of Looking where everyone was awful (first place: Patrick, honorable mention: Agustin), only one thing stood out like a shiny beacon of light in a dusty sex dungeon: The return of Richie. Unfortunately, his presence was short-lived and suddenly we were plunged back into the darkness of the mess that is… » 1/19/15 6:00pm 1/19/15 6:00pm

Not even butt eating could lure audiences to Girls. The HBO darling (which has just gotten renewed for a fifth season) had its smallest season premiere ever this Sunday, down 40% from last year's.
