For those unfamiliar with gay television or the advertisements plastered all over the 8th Avenue subway station, Dante’s Cove is perhaps the crappiest, most low budget show to elicit a variety of responses from it’s audience. Intrigued by it’s premise of gay wizards and supernatural gays on the beach, myself and friends, Freems and Marcelle, decided to sit down and brave this exercise in bad taste to see just what it was all about.
Dante’s Cove — Season 1 — Episode 1: The Beginning
00:01: It opens in the past with witches in salem? WTF? I thought this was about gay wizard boys on the beach having sex with each other. Not Lifetime’s special presentation for halloween. Weird straight wizard marriage is being discussed. Boring!
00:04: AAAAAAAANNNND… immediately into the gay sex with his butler once the girl leaves. Freems: “Yeah! Suck his dick!”
00:07: Ummm… where are the condoms in this sex scene? Shouldn’t here! network be promoting safer sex? I’ll forgive them for now because it’s supposed to be like… the 1800s or Time Of Olde Yore or whatever. Also: Butler has a huge penis.
00:12: Woman chains him up for having gay sex behind her back when they were supposed to get married. I’m pretty confused, because about six minutes ago he was REALLY into marrying her and now is saying he hates her. Emotional character arcs apparently are not a necessity when you’re a wizard in Dante’s Cove.
00:14: She casts a spell that can only be broken by “the kiss of a young man.” I don’t understand why this will be difficult for him. He may be kind of a butterface (”but her face,” get it, you guys!) but young guys are easy.
00:15: Oh, I get it. It’s because she’s turning him old and ugly that no one will kiss him. Except actually I still don’t get it because young guys are easy.
The intro starts up right after this. Lyrics:”Dying, dying to be with you.” Who writes this? Remind me to ask them to write me a personal theme song that will play whenever my phone rings.
I’m seeing lots of gay black magic montages in the intro which gets me EXCITED!!!!
