arno_54 I've read all the reviews and posts on the site, and it's quite an interesting mix of opinions. To me, DANTE'S COVE is a cool and innovating show as I've never seen any single episode of the others TV-Series mentioned here as 'Buffy the vampire slayer - The OC's -or- Charmed'. I must say that generally, I'm not that much attracted by supernatural genre. It bores me a lot. But not for DANTE'S COVE. I retrieve what I've appreciated in 'Queer As Folk & Tales of the City' : a community spirit combined with mutual help, fun (and venomous tongues !). I think the writing's just fine (even if the red-eyes thing is far too much !) and for sure some of the actors really CAN act (as Tracy Scoggins, Thea Gill & Charlie David for firsts). I find in this show what I search on TV - well for this kind of stuff : something entertaining, eyes-candy and refreshing. (My on-screen-witchcraft knowledge mostly is limited to Elvira's, I guess !) so I like what I see on the 13 episodes of this Series (I include the 'Unaired Pilot'). And Goash, Charlie David is a Hunk ! I hope so much that one day we'll get the chance to see the Fourth Season : I know I'll go back to this Cove with a delighted (and non-guilty) pleasure again...

ambidaud I loved Queer As folk because the characters were complex: it was not simply about gay characters but about flesh and blood people. Besides, all the actors were excellent. But Dante's Cove is so ridiculous and funny, though not voluntarily...The Gothic background is a caricature, with witches having red, glaring eyes when they curse their victims, and people turning into dust all of a sudden. Harry Potter sounds like Kierkegaard compared to that rubbish of hidden manuscripts, pentagrams and undead people... The acting is below awful, so much so that I couldn't help laughing most of the time. And the sex scenes so conventional, the men looking all more or less alike. A real waste of time! (and money if you have been unfortunate enough to buy this series)

Ryan S I stumbled across Dante's Cove one day at blockbuster and decided to rent it. The first season was a little on the rough side, and the acting wasn't the best but it kept my attention. The show obviously had a low budget and was working with what little money they had. I did love the theme of it. To me the show is like Buffy the Vampire Slayer mixed in with a my personal favorite Charmed and made the characters gay. Shows like these are hard to come by. I love the way the 1st season ended with Toby being thrown in the water and grace breaking free. It left me wanting more.I decided to buy the second season. There was an extremely noticeable set change and I believe this was due to a budget increase. It took a minute to get use too but I fell in love with the new set. They also got more actors,replaced the actor who played Adam with Jon Flemming (HOT), got rid of most of the bad actors and the show improved a lot. I must say there was still some bad acting but as the season rolled on it got better. I will even go as far as saying that the acting was 100% better than the first season. So if you stopped watching after the 1st season give it another chance. The constant thunder and lightning stopped as well, which was part of the reason the 1st season wasn't the best. They ended season 2 in cliff hanger with Ambrosius taking Kevin as his prisoner. Once again leaving me wanting more.Season 3 they did it again. Another set change but at least this time they covered it up, saying that the one side of the island was washed away after a tsunami. They got rid of most of the new actors they brought in at season 2 within the first 2 episodes and changed the actress that played Michelle. They also got rid of my favorite on the show from season 1 who is van =(. They brought in about 3 or 4 new actors, which only one of them had no business being on any show at all but all in all the acting was just about dead on this season, with a few noticeable bad spots but it was good. This season instead of everyone being against each other, they had to band together and fight something else. And for the 3rd time they left me wanting more by Showing Toby and Adam trapped in a mirror world of some kind. So once again, if you stopped watching because the 1st season wasn't the best give it another shot. This show is worth giving a second chance. Can't wait for season 4 coming soon.

matt-2044 The people are gorgeous, the scenery is most peoples dream and the plot is easy going but it has something that made me watch both episodes one after the other.Tracy Scoggins is wonderfully over the top and she steals every scene she is in. She brings something to the part of 'Grace' that most other actresses would have shied away from.The is a good deal of sex but it does nothing really to detract from the story and it is not something that creeps up on you. Once you have watched the first twenty minutes or so you know what is going to happen throughout.It is wonderfully interesting and I can't wait for series two to come out on DVD.It is on my reminder list already
