Acting, sound, dialogue, lighting, budget. Yeah. That's what movies are made of. The only redeeming quality may be that most of the men are attractive.

I give it 2 stars because I managed to watch 2 episodes. I never give up on any show quicker than this one. Seriously, you do not need this in your life. No redeeming features.

Hey guys! Let's make a series! How hard could it be?

Okay, full disclosure. I only watched the first episode. But even that was a struggle.

When it's a gay-themed production, I'll put up with a lot of amateurism if the story is good and the dialog is sharp. And I realize a series' first episode will mostly--and necessarily--be an introduction to the cast of characters and the story. But with this, the result for me was a swift realization that I don't want to know any more about these pretend people or their pretend problems. If I'm going to watch something like this, it has to have some truth to it at some level. Trust me, there is none to be found.

If you do not cringe at the performances or the dialog or the direction, well, bless your heart. And if you can refrain from judging a certain pair of eyebrows, well, you're a saint.

Think of HBO's series Looking. Then imagine an imitation version as bad as it could possibly be. Voilà.

I really enjoyed it. I wish there were more seasons on Amazon Prime. I like the storylines and of course the hot guys LOL I'm a big fan of Eric Dean and just became a fan of everybody else in the series. I started to follow most of them on social media. I hope to meet them someday which is probably crazy to say but you never know.!

To be honest I skipped over all the 'couples' except the relationships involving: David, Jake and Chance (&Ryan).. Why? They presented the vagaries of gay relationships! in full color and why it is extremely hard for a young gay couple to stay true to each other! I am gay and (fortunately) in a relationship 42 years and still going strong and can relate to its problems. I like to call the 'problem' "raging hormones mixed with an oversized ego!" Now that gay marriage is a fact, check out the number of gay celebs. who are divorcing just after a short (some cases brief!) marriage and soon getting engaged to another Teink and doing the PDA thing! With this in mind, it was perfectly explored in their relationship! However I fault the denouement in that it shifted gears too quickly and made the relationship between Jake and Chance as almost a 'one night stand!'
