A Man Who Defies the World of BL 2024 (Japanese Series)

By Golu
After a couple of years off, the creators finally dropped a third season of this show, oddly titled with 2024 in it for some reason I genuinely can't figure out. The story basically picks up right where things left off, following our lead Mobu as he keeps trying to survive inside this whole BL universe, just another character desperately trying not to fall for another guy. Season two left us with his relationship with Kikuchi, and this season kicks off right as Kikuchi heads off to university, which means Mobu's single again and honestly couldn't be happier about it. With six episodes, each running about 23 minutes, this is a quick, easy watch. Now that Mobu's back to being single, he's got to stay alert for every signal or trope that could end up pulling him into another relationship with a guy if he's not careful. So across these episodes, we watch him run into two of these signals per episode through the people around him and how they end up falling for each ...

For The Love Of DILFS (Reality TV Show)

By Golu
Gay reality shows, or any reality show for that manner is so much guilty pleasure. I kept rolling my eyes almost every single second of this show but at the same time, I was quite curious to see what's going to happen. Hosted by infamous porn star Stormy Daniels, this is trash television that doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. As expected the contestants are drama, so over the top and ridiculous, that you can't even laugh off at how the participants behaved.

OUT TV's show is trying to find answer to the question whether a Himbo and a Daddy fall in love? After all, Himbos are chaotic and always ready for a party, while daddies are insightful and established, if a little too stuck in their own routines. The show starts with 5 daddies and 5 limbos put in a DILF waterfront mansion, parked with sits and turns and surprises in every episode to se e if anyone can actually find love (Yes, you read that right, Love. As of when you put 10 horny scantily clad clad gay man in a mansion they will think of anything else but sex). The contestants are aiming to be part of the last couple standing, and thus walk away with $10,000.

Where DILFS succeeds is in how it takes advantage of the ways gay men date differently. They are not at all subtle in signaling who really turns them on, or who doesn’t. While more than one seeking single in the mansion talks about having tried every other possible way to meet Mr. Right, and being open to all the romantic possibilities, it’s still physical attraction that plays the most visible part in how the pairings ebb and flow. “When I saw the jockstrap, I just knew, like, that’s my guy,” says Tony. Nathan informs viewers “I have a passion for talking and vocalising my thoughts.” The daddies are no less and almost everyone comes with their own multi faceted career. There are a few wild card entries every episode to stop things up and you know the gays mean drama. Some exercises between potential limbos and daddies are fun to watch while others are nonsense. Almost every single Himbo is annoying, at least for me and I couldn't stand them. They all talked in such funny teenage girl manner, that I honestly still don't understand why people do that. Say whatever, but I am not willing to believe that it's anyone's natural way of talking. No one in their right minds talks in that weird way. In contrast at least the Daddies were a sensible lot. They didn't indulge much n gossip and felt more relatable. But looks wise, the show does do a good job of getting some very good eye-candy and you know these men are not afraid to take off their shorts, be in speedos or jockstraps. This lot will do anything to be seen and win the show. The show has a good mix of race, color, character, body types and drama quotient. The host felt a bit awkward in a first couple of episodes but eventually got more comfortable in leading our contestants. Watching these men bungle around a mansion, getting into petty fights, and trying to pretend like they’ve arrived there for love and not hot orgiastic sex is so beyond enthralling, that I would probably never admit to having seen the show. It's going to be my little secret. (4/10)

The Tuxedo (Thai Series)

By Golu
When I saw this series with 8 episodes of about 20-25 minutes each, I thought, good: Finally someone has come to senses and made a show which is not stretched out and they have tried to squeeze in a decent storyline in a good small episode format. But unfortunately, despite a decent premise on hand, the clunky writing, bad screenplay and an extreme tasteless portrayal of mental illness makes this show, not a fun watch. By the time it finishes, you just want to laugh off at the entire absurdity of it all. Aioun is talented tuxedo designer and very much in demand but he has handful of clients and he builds suits only for people who he feels a connection to. One night when his younger brother is about to get mugged, he is helped by a total stranger named Sichol. Since he tears his suit in the fight and has an interview the next day, Aioun gifts him a suit form his design as an expression of thanks. Sichol's interview is for. Personal assistant of a man named Nawee, a wealthy heir to h...

Heartstopper: Season 2 (Web Series) (UK)

By Golu
Heartstopper Season 1 was a universal hit. You could not have read one bad review or heard from anyone who has seen the show not liking it. It was the kind of series that is easy to love, with sweetness exploding out of every scene without overwhelming you. So naturally, when Netflix greenly Season 2, expectations were naturally high and the same happened with me. I didn't know what to expect, but I had high expectations of this very very sweet teenage love story. And with eagerness and being a little late to the game by a few days, here I am, pouring my t thoughts down having just finished one of the most anticipated shows of the year. The second season also has 10 episodes and has all of our loved ones from the original season. The show continues from where it had left off in Season 1. Charlie and Nick are a couple and only their very close circle of friends know about it. This includes Charlie's best friend Tao and his trans best friend Elle. The center of the show is still ...

Gaya Sa Pelikula (Filipino Series) [Like In The Movies]

By Golu
Pinoy BL series seem to be catching up to the popularity of the Thai shows. And I must say that they are doing a pretty good job at it. Where Thai series started to get repetitive with so many shows based in a college setting with seemingly similar storylines, Pinoy series are offering the viewers with new and interesting stories and some really good sets and surroundings. This series was 8 episodes of about 25-20 minutes each. Karl, a 19-year old introvert architecture student is in the middle of an identity crisis. Prior to the start of the second semester in college and forced by his parents, he moves into his uncle's condominium unit so that he can learn to be financially independent. Karl takes on odd jobs online to do so. But when one of his major clients suddenly goes MIA, he is left short on funds and without a means to pay for his utilities. An opportunity presents itself when his cocky neighbor Vlad has to hide from his family and proposes to share Karl's space for th...
