Is this technically a gay show? Even after getting through the whole thing, that's still kind of tricky to answer. There's never any physical intimacy shown between the two leads, not even a single kiss. What it gives you instead is something that goes way deeper than that. It traces an emotional bond that spans a full decade between two guys who are both dealing with their own baggage, and what they share basically amounts to being soulmates. The story moves across Japan, South Korea, and Berlin. Honestly, whether people want to call what they have a romantic relationship or not doesn't really matter to me. A relationship doesn't need a label like boyfriends attached to it to actually mean something. And closeness doesn't need to be physical to feel genuine. What this show captures is something quieter but way more powerful, a bond rooted in understanding, respect, and just showing up for each other. Across eight episodes, each running 35 to 45 minutes, this is one...
Hollywood's ancient power struggle ignites as 600-year-old vampire Landon Scott is summoned by the old ones to reclaim the city, but werewolf Charles refuses to yield, sparking a deadly conflict. Landon seizes control of The Lair, a club steeped in darkness, to breed a new generation of vampires and reclaim Hollywood's sinister allure. As Rein delves into the vampire's code, an unexpected ritual in Palm Springs turns the tables, transforming a group of men into eternal beings. Charles trembles in the face of Landon's power, while Landon revels in his newfound thralls, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown. Landon enlists his ancient sorcerer ally and awakens Beverly, Rein's former colleague, in a desperate bid to tip the scales in their looming battle. In the season finale, vampires and werewolves brace for a full moon clash that could spell either a new dawn or their cataclysmic end in this electrifying finale.
This show is atrocious and awful in every sense of the way. Yes, vampire college campy movies are supposed to be campy, when someone thinks that they are making serious content with a some meaning, I am rally not sure who are they fooling here, themselves or the audience. Not to say that there may not be an audience for this kind of show. I can bet that there are many people who liked the show and even will buy the DVD's but oh my god! Was this show awful or what. Right from bad acting, to bad direction, to some really bad editing; just about everything screams amateur who has been given a lot of money. The production value seems nice, and the cast is generally good looking; but there is only so much that audience's attention can be held with sex scenes including plenty bare butts. After a point, you do wanna care about the story and the characters ( to be fair some back story has been given to th main characters and reasoning behind why they are doing what they are doing), but absolutely none of it can salvage this badly awfully made show. This fight for control between the bloodthirsty vampires and savage werewolves is laughable and not at all fun. In fact, this is a good case study of how not to make films/shows. And this is 2024. If this was made 15 years ago, makers had some sort of excuse. (0.5/10)
