Well, it was inevitable.  HBO has officially cancelled Looking, a show that had so much potential…on paper.  Alas, once it hit the air, it was mired with problems, not the least of which was painfully slow and rudderless pacing.  Retooling attempts during the second season had mixed results – while some of the problems were rectified, one had no idea what to expect week to week.  Characters changed overnight, plot lines were begun and dropped, relationships went unexplained.  Ultimately, ratings (or lack thereof) sealed its fate.  The network said, “HBO will present the final chapter of their journey as a special.”  What form that will take is uncertain, but by the time they get around to it, I suspect very few people will notice…or care.
