better and worse
Added 10/21/2008
The second short season of Dante's Cove presents us with a better storyline and worse dialogues. Episodes have grown to five and the season is concluded by as high -and lame- a cliffhanger as that at the end of "season" one.
We have already been introduced to the characters and we find ourselves in the middle of action now, which is always fine with me. Problem is that the script sounds for a good 80% of the time completely idiotic. Short, disjointed sentences are conveying little meaning, no information about the character who speaks them who by the way generally sounds like a complete moron.
The setting has been changed too and, while the beaches are just as beautiful, the new hotel Dante is much less impressive than the old one even if it is much larger and allows more room for interaction.
Acting is just as plain as it was in season one with the possible exception of Thea Gill and Jon Fleming (this taking the role of Adam) who are up to the not much required by the script.
There are several glossy sex scenes, all of them homosexual, most of them involving the male characters. They add nothing to the thrill, to the storyline, to the overall tension and interest if not the pleasing view of the finely groomed bodies of Jon Fleming and some of the others.

Could be better, but enjoyable as is
Added 6/5/2008
I hadn't heard too much about this show when I got this DVD. Suffice to say, I wasn't expecting much, but I liked it anyway. The dialogue and special effects needed some punching up, but the copious eye candy made up for any deficiencies in the acting (in my opinion, anyway). And why does each season of this series only do single-digit episode counts? They need more material than that. Anyway, I was thrilled to see that Tracy Scoggins has been keeping busy since her stint on Babylon 5, and I hope that this show lasts a while. She seems like she's having a lot of fun playing Grace. I know we haven't seen the last of this show, and that things can only get better from here.

A rare gem!!
Added 5/13/2008
Wow! The first sesason took off kinda slow. I think the writers didnt quite know where to take it, but the second season was amazing. A rareity to find such a fun frisy series that redifines witchcraft. Loved it! it was funny, scary, thrilling, mysterious, sexy, and enthralling all mixed into the second season. Cant wait for the 3rd season... and boy are the men sexy!!

Guilty Pleasure
Added 4/7/2008
Hey,
This is a great show if you get past the bad actors. It has great pleasure scenes and has a good solid storyline, It also has a bit of fun in it with the supernatural side to it, and it has a bit of romance thrown in as well. This is very much a winding down guilty pleasure at bed time type show which to be honest have you ever even heard off. This is def worth the buy and its worth the price.

Sex in the Gay Shadows
Added 3/10/2008
Dantes Cove II continues the gay soap opera where Dantes Cove I left off. It probably does not matter that there is some sort of logic to the plot of this mystical saga of sex from the dark side. It seems like everyone is still hot for innocent Kevin, the beautiful blond boy who awakened a warlock from the past. Guys just can't seem to keep their hands off of Kevin's hot body (he fortunately never seems to find time to put on a shirt), much to the chagrin of his muscular boyfriend Tobey. That is the most reality based aspect of this whole melodrama. Gay culture never seems to change. That people keep coming back from the dead is another matter. This is a not a film for anyone devotged to the Stanislovsky method, as there seems to be no need for any acting talent. All of the focus is upon which gay match up can have the hotest sex. The lesbians don't get left out of this erotic enclave, which is nice to see that the two sides of male/female gay culture come together in one film. Not to give away the ending (as if the plot really mattered), but Kevin is in as much jeopardy from the dark forces at the end of the movie as at the beginng.

Terrible show.
Added 7/13/2009
What incredible schlock! It is as if it had been written by horny 13 year olds who've only ever seen trashy shows on TV. The acting is horrendous throughout, the guys look like queer underwear catalog rejects, totally predictable and shallow. The music is of no interest whatsoever, and frankly I struggle to find any redeeming quality to this crap. As if this mess wasn't painful enough to suffer through, some halfwit decided it would add to the "drama" to have thunder and lightning at any given time or place, be it a sunny day or a garden party, not a tree moving in the wind and the cars with their top down but somehow as soon as some is indoor there goes the stormy effect. This gives one a good idea of how cheap and predictable this piece of junk is. Save your time, if you want to see truly hot guys and girls going at it, there are plenty of choices out there, just not THAT!
