Dante's Cove fan...

So on the DVD box this series reads Dark Shadows meets Melrose Place. two of my favorite shows successfully combined into one I have to to see this. add to the fact that I'm gay the guys are hot and its horror based and this is so me. Dante's Cove the series explores a witch named Grace played over the friggin top by Demonic Toys veteran Tracy Scoggins. She curses her fiancée Ambrocious who is played by the semi attractive William Gregory Lee after he is found getting done in the backdoor by the butler. She traps him in what looks like an S&M room and leaves him there for centuries. the only thing that can break his curse is a kiss from a young man. Enter the happy over sexed couple Kevin and Toby. Toby is moving back to Dantes Cove for some strange reason and wants Kevin to go with him. But Kevin is not out and Toby has trust issues with him because of past relationships. So they have a big argument. Kevin goes home gets slapped (LOL) by his stepfather and rushes to Toby in Dante's Cove. There is sex, sex, more sex, and than some more sex. it's extremely graphic and full frontal nudity is shown. There is mostly gay guy sex and Gregory Michael whom plays Kevin and Charlie David whom plays Toby have great bodies and genuinely good chemistry even if they can't act worth a damn. But there is some straight sex and lesbian sex as well. Hotties fill out the rest of the cast. And it picks up in its second half as a intriguing supernatural soap opeara. there are sordid backstories, murder, cheating, and past relationships mixed in with some witchcraft and etc. It's all pretty interesting. And it's all campy and trashy as hell. It indulges in it's ridiculousness and has a great time doing it. as you will too when viewing it. I am now declaring myself a fan of Dante's Cove. sure it's cheesy, bad and clichéd but gotta love pretty boys, over the top performances, slap scenes and dialogue that just leaps off your TV screen. Check it out!
