Looking (with Alex Philamond)

Season 3, Ep. 32

Writer and manicurist Alex Philamond joins me to discuss the HBO series Looking - the Jonathan Groff-led show that was pitched as the gay Sex And The City. But, despite its compelling cast of characters and a dedicated fanbase, Looking was cancelled after two seasons.
