Binge-able fun.

Watching it right now. Looks like they're finally trying to make John Halbach's character not straight.

The guy oh the right is hot! Also, just checked it out on Netflix, why are the season one episodes so short?

by Anonymousreply 2December 1, 2019 5:46 PM

It was originally just a web series

by Anonymousreply 3December 1, 2019 5:46 PM

Television has a so-so track record with series focused on adult gay men, particularly gay male couples: LOOKING, QUEER AS FOLK, NOAH'S ARK, DTLA. (I will not include WILL & GRACE, thanks.)

I think EASTSIDERS is one of the better ones.

At first I thought I'd hate the roadtrip season, but it turned out rather well imho.

by Anonymousreply 5December 1, 2019 6:30 PM

I wish they'd actually dramatized their stay in NYC. They just showed the beginning and end of it.

Is this the one with Ham Hansis?

Are Van Hansis and Tyler Hanes still together? Wiki says their relationship began in 2007.

by Anonymousreply 9December 1, 2019 9:13 PM

Yeah, they still seem to be together.

Kit Williamson needs to do something about that hair. It betrays his white trash roots.

by Anonymousreply 12December 2, 2019 12:23 AM

Kit needs to know that he's too old to try to pull off the hairstyle he had in season 4. He looks better with a more normal haircut.

The guy on the right of OP's pic has a Hugh Jackman vibe.

Okay, they DID do a (short) flashback ep of their time in NYC, and it's a rather good one.

I don't love all the directions this 4th season is going in, but overall, the quality of writing and most of the acting is superior to most of LOOKING, and on a fraction of that show's budget, apparently.

by Anonymousreply 15December 2, 2019 3:16 AM

Who cares about the content. It's a shit show, terrible writing, terrible acting.

But the guys have decent bodies. Is there any good nudity?

by Anonymousreply 16December 2, 2019 5:45 AM

The doctor seems to be the only character you could stand to be in a room with for more than two minutes. The cute boyfriend with zero personality does not deserve him.

No one believed that Halbach's character was ever really straight, but who knew how much his inner queen was screaming to be let out.

That's the most tiresome, loathsome drag queen in the universe. I have to fast forward through all her scenes.

Oh, of course the Atlantic would buy the essay about the two gays on a road trip hooking up with a thieving hustler written by the cater waiter with a paperback YA novel as his only credit. Oh well, there WAS that essay in the Paris Review that one time. Paris, TX, that is.

Daniel Newman should have been given a bigger role. Kt Williams's character is so annoying . anf i don't even want to talk about thta drag queen storyline

I can only think that this gets even the limited acclaim it does because there's so little original gay content out in the world. But it really is poorly plotted, written, acted and produced. Surprised that Netflix picked it up.

by Anonymousreply 21December 6, 2019 12:56 PM

The only reason Netflix picked it up was because it was already done. Anyone can produce anything for them, especially if it's already paid for.

I get this confused with INDOOR BOYS, but that series is much better. This has it's moments, but I tried watching the first episode of the new season and it was deadly dull.

I see that great thespian Traci Lords is back to dazzle us with her talent as the ugly one's mother.

by Anonymousreply 24December 7, 2019 6:30 PM

Just watched season 4 and liked it very much. Love horror queen Lin Shaye's guest appearance. Love campy Tracey (who also is in another campy, low budget, gay movie called Steam Room Stories: The Movie). I thought they handled the whole bi story line this season pretty well. I am glad that the gay couples (Cal & Thom / Jeremy & Derrick) worked out their issues.

by Anonymousreply 25December 8, 2019 6:36 PM

Ups, sorry. Of course her name is Traci (not Tracey).

by Anonymousreply 26December 8, 2019 6:37 PM

I liked Season 4 better than any of the previous seasons. It seemed less focused on ticking off a list of issues and playing every character at full-tilt. That said, t would have been vastly better if all of the too many scenes of the wretched drag queen and the hopeless boyfriend had been cut.

by Anonymousreply 27December 10, 2019 2:00 PM

Agreed, R27. I can't help but think it was that the leads were not as available as they might have been. Wretched drag and her BF had to do a lot of heavy lifting this season, and frankly, they're just not that interesting.

I've rarely thought, "Wow. We really need more Constance Wu again." But this was one of those occasions.

by Anonymousreply 28December 10, 2019 2:43 PM

Oh, so THAT's where Van Haznisssssssss went off to!

by Anonymousreply 29December 10, 2019 2:47 PM

Imo the drag queen and her boyfriend provided much needed comic relief. Without it people would nitpick about the sappy Lifetime movie drama in Jeremy and Derrick's storyline (fostering a child while having relationship problems).

by Anonymousreply 30December 10, 2019 7:06 PM

DL Iconettes Max Emerson and Chris Salvatore show up for the FUN this season!

by Anonymousreply 31January 8, 2020 3:26 PM

Since his QEFTSG days, Jai Rodriguez has gotten, well, "husky."

Porn god Adam Ramzi shows up for the fun, looking nicely cleaned up.
