Recently, Jonathan Groff spoke with Kevin Sussems at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco. During their lengthy conversation—which was just posted online in its entirety—Groff discussed Looking, its upcoming movie finale, and filming gay sex scenes.
The highlight of the discussion? Groff shared that he filmed "the most intense sex scene" he'd ever done for the two-hour finale of Looking. He jokingly said the scene involved "some rimming" and spoke about tackling misconceptions people have about gay sex. Groff remarked that he was shocked that some people didn't realize gay men could have sex while looking at each other until watching the first season of Looking premiered. Groff also added that Andrew Haigh—the director of Weekend, Looking, and 45 Years—wanted to "illuminate male intimacy in sex and in general...by finding moments that felt real and true to life."

Um, Queer as Folk showed people that, but okay Jonathon.
My main problem with Looking was that everyone involved thought the show was way more revolutionary than it actually was. Oh and it wasn't very funny. But that is more of a complaint about dramadies in general rather than just Looking.
She was like "I watched a movie and there were these two guys having sex, and they were facing each other!!!"
