How Do These Things Get Green Lighted?

So if you've ever wondered what would happen if you mixed Dark Shadows, Queer as Folk and Melrose Place, then you have to watch Dante's Cove. The most God awful series ever. Mortifyingly acted, written and directed. BUT! There is boy on boy action and a lot, some girl on girl and one straight scene. This show definitely knew where it's strengths lay. Here's a short synopsis:

In the nineteenth century, Ambrosius Vallin, a gay man out for revenge against a coven of witches called the "Tresum", woos the witch Grace, hoping that by marrying her he can learn the coven's power and use it against them. On their wedding night, Grace finds Vallin en flagrante with their butler, kills the butler and imprisons Vallin himself in the dungeon beneath her home, keeping him trapped in the body of an old man, never to be released or have a proper death until he can obtain the love of a young man. In the modern day, Grace's former home is now an apartment complex. Toby and his new boyfriend, Kevin, find themselves being used as pawns in a deadly game of revenge between Ambrosius and Grace.


It truly is something to behold.

Oh dear god, this does look horribly, horribly bad. Who is this Tracy Scroggins chick? She's campy as all get out.

And I love that every man who has his chest showing, is oiled up to perfection. HA!

Don't be ashamed of liking the show Brian, it's, "your newest guilty pleasure."
