"Why did Looking suddenly seem to have so many 'loyal fans' only when it was about to be canceled?" asks Dan Callahan. "Where were these people and their support when the show really needed it, as the second season unfolded? It wasn't just the audience who failed this show. The confused response to Looking started to color what the creators were trying to do with it, and they seemed to lose confidence in their own material. They didn't keep to their own naturalistic impulses, and that sunk the show creatively when it drifted into an unappealing, unconvincing, plot-driven love triangle." PLUS: Season 2 was troublesome.
