Dante's Cove

I was interested to see what the gay channel in the US was producing and if this is the extent of it then I am so disappointed. While I knew it would be of limited quality I still tried to give it the benefit of the doubt. The issue is not the bad acting but rather the sencerity of the bad acting. I can find films quite enjoyable when the actors/directors and various others involved with the production of a show or film recognise it is pants and wink toward the audience to let them know this but ask them to come along for the ride and lets all have fun. But when it is pants and everyone seems to not recognise this it becomes excruciating to watch. The cd comes with the first two episodes on one disc and I couldn't make it past the first episode. I just had to return the cd. Yes, some of the actors are nice looking to an extent but not enough to suffer this mess. If you are looking for something as I mentioned above then try 'Eating Our: Sloppy Seconds'. It is not about to win any awards but at least it knows what it is and the crew look like they are at least mildly enjoying themselves.

Poorly acted trashy gay supernatural soap opera....it was FABULOUS!

This is a show that is unlikely to ever win any awards. Its script is complete nonsense with some very dodgy acting but that is where its charm lies. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than soft core trash and you can't help liking its audacity to fill out its script with plenty of man-on-man action and even a bit woman-on-woman action thrown into the mix too. The fact that a not only a second season but also a third was commissioned (with bigger budgets and more characters!) proves that this is a guilty pleasure that is worth seeing.
