This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...
Another one of those trashy shows from Signal23TV. This one can easily be classified as glorified porn if the first episode and the others that follow are to be seen and believed. With 10 episodes of about 18-20 minutes each, the show started well. At least there was supposed to be a story, but soon you realize that the target audience is very different. I like porn as much as the other person, but what I do not want is to be tricked into watching a series which ends up being porn.
Tex is released from prison and enters the new world where he enters a journey of finding himself. He is a prison inmate serving time for attempted murder when he lashed out on a gay basher and almost kills him. Tex is a dark soul and is very disconnected with the world because of his past. His life changes when he is released from prison on a new program and has to transition to becoming a law abiding citizen again. Johnson is assigned to his case as a parole officer and is challenged to breakdown the walls to help him heal from his past. Tex meets a guy for sex in an alleyway, who tries to help him and love him but Tex is so jaded that he pushes him away. He eventually manages to get a security job in a bar and meets another ex-inmate and the two become friends. Tex has some childhood trauma of being abused sexually by an older man and he rents his mother for letting all that happen.
This show is porn. Every episode has that one big scene where you see it all. The whole shebang. What more, the lead actor playing Tex is replaced by some other actor in Episode 7. They don't even put a notice or something for viewers to know what/why happened. With the new actor, either story hands changed or something happened , but it was like watching another show altogether. Lot of sexual scenes filled with orgy. Story that was developed till this point takes a complete backseat. I have a few more Signal23TV shows in my drive. I think I should just delete them at this point. (2/10)
