Qvamp says:

This is the first fully gay horror television. The show was shown in 2 parts, one 90 minutes, the other 120 minutes. However, neither of the episodes appear to have names, so Josh Berresford (the actor, Cory, from the show) recommended they be titled, Parts 1 and 2.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this show. The best thing I can say about it is that the plot had a lot of potential, and I can see what it is trying to accomplish.

But unfortunately it doesn't quite do it.

Overall, it fall into a the same rut many gay-themed shows and moves do, it sacrifices valuable time it could use to build plot or enrich the character on gratuitous overlong sex sequences; leaving the plot half done and the characters very 2-dimensional.

Another common flaw in this is found in all popular supernatural shows nowadays - it relies on flashy graphics when magic is used. These cheesy effects make it tough to suspend disbelief (the glowing red eyes are not scary or impressive).

However like I said, the main idea and setup for a briliant show is there, they just need to flesh it out more, give it a bit of an overhall and have it take itself seriously. Maybe next seaon will be better, and I am willing to give it a chance.
