    Terrible

    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.

    There Should Be 10 More Seasons! AMAZING!

    This is FINALLY a show that represents the Gay Community SO well. And with REALLY good story lines!

    Current and past TV and Films about gay men have been overly cheesy, bad acting, horrible storyline, and overly effeminate men (not a bad thing to be, but when EVERY character is so flamboyant it undervalues other types of gay men we want to see on screen).

    This is a show you can binge in one sitting, but also rewatch because it's so good. They took their time to select GOOD actors with skill. Because I instantly became enthralled in each characters story line.

    Thank you for producing GENUINE and INCREDIBLE stories for the gays.

    I Loved it!

    I just started watching this series and I like it alot. Very entertaining and amusing. I love how it explores the intimacy of gay men and the struggles. Gives a somewhat real view of their experience.

    I hope they start a NEW series of beautiful gay men and their lives as well as including maybe a elderly gay couple to inspire that gays CAN have long loving relationships.

    I encourage people to see the seasons and give it a chance and realize that in the end, love wins.

    I only wish the series went beyond the 2 series as it should have gone to 10 seasons. A good series and it is worth the watch!

    'Boystown-Ego laden'

    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!'
