I think the point of the matching jackets is because they're at a trade show and marketing the game they talked about earlier in the season, so the jackets are promotional. But it also emphasizes how Patrick's kind of dating himself. At least physically.

The hotness of Richie and Dom dating would melt HBOGo.

True, but it was picked up by the person in charge of greenlighting 30 minute programming so Lannan and Haigh always knew what they were working with.

A fellow Parting Glances fan? It's why I will always and forever be in love with Steve Buscemi. Although he constantly gives me more and more reasons to love him.

If it's not the writers fault, whose is it, then?

I agree. And the way they wedged Patrick into so many scenes, actually taking away focus several times from Dom WHILE HE WAS SPEAKING to show Jonathan Groff's ever dopier face irked me.

I've said in other places that the individual episodes have been good, they're just not in service to a bigger, thematic story that they had last season. And a big part of that is focusing so much on Patrick and making his story be about how much he's spinning his wheels, which isn't an arc, it's a stall. Groff may…

I didn't say it was a good costume, I just said I liked it because I like Max.

So what is the arc? How do you define where this season is going? If you're going to do a slice of life story there has to be overarching themes. I'm not actually watching a real person name Patrick Murphy go through life, I'm watching a fictional character and the writers give me what they think I need to know. And I…

No basis? Haigh himself said that Kevin is there to be the boost Patrick needs to be more ambitious. And Patrick has shown no signs of wanting to get promoted or move on, so he clearly has no ambitions about his professional future at the moment.

We'll see. I'd like for it to get a third season, I'm just not optimistic.

I just don't believe he can "only feel like himself" with Patrick. That's such a line you use on a mistress.

Or jump networks and ship him off to Chicago where he can become best friends with Fiona and slap some sense into that girl. GUS IS A KEEPER! And Jimmy sucks. Then he can hook up with Mickey and stop being so coddled.

Togetherness is where Looking was last season. A freshman show that they're willing to give a second chance to. Plus the Duplass brothers bring the same cache that Andrew Haigh brought.

Patrick was raised in a more affluent family but he's shown none of the ambition that Jon has. Jon's an orthopedist (the most likely specialty to work as a team physician) who went to Dartmouth and has tony friend with country club memberships. (Gus, who Patrick's own father thinks of as the son he wished he had.)

Maybe not a whole series, but I'd love to replace those "Inside the Episode" clips with three minute clips of Dom and Doris acting stupid in their apartment.

Last season there was an arc to each of their stories. This season Dom's been reduced to practically an extra, Agustin hasn't had much fall out from his issues last season and is now just adorably hooking up with adorable Eddie and being adorable, and Patrick's story has had a lot of sound and fury but signifies…

Yes, but look who tags along like a dingleberry Dom and Doris just can't shake off. No doubt, like how the episode about how Dom joins a gay rugby team turned into the Passion of Kevin and Patrick, Kevin will no doubt end up in Stockton to crap all over our fun.

But where is it going? What are we supposed to get from it? What is the structure to the season other than watching Patrick flail.

No, living with Kevin is his flaw. The t-shirt was his "costume." But he does work with athletes so he may be more bro-ish than the other guys.
