clintonkeep I list this under spoilers because this show BLOWS CHUNKS! There, I spoiled it for you... Normally I enjoy really poorly made sci-fi shows with the bad "acting", boom mic in the shot, a lot of plot holes, cheap props & utterly forgettable "actors", but this show actually embarrasses me. They mostly rely on the sex scenes to keep people interested which is funny since most of the people are either low budget porn models with bodies that are less than remarkable. There isn't any special effects and no one has any real interesting our unique abilities, unless you count wearing a lot of eyeliner and the same clothing (in) every episode and the power to OVERACT & OVER EMOTE. You probably won't notice those flaws due to the very loud, distracting and NONSTOP musical score. They literally beat you over the head with it and it never stops. This show failed to keep me interested even with full frontal male nudity. I was hoping it would get better but it just stayed the same.

evil_nightmare_38 The Lair: A spin off from Dante's Cove. its sexy, you have sexy actors. Beverly Lynne, David Moretti, Dylan Vox, Jesse Cutlip and Peter Stickles. And Johnny Hazzard who joins The Lair in the second season. Come on what's not to like. Of course the dialogue is better then Dante's cove. And yes some parts a hilarious. Beverly Lynne: as Laura Rivers. UMmmmmmmm. LIKE HER. and David Moretti, Come on what's not to like. He's Hottttttt. This show is Sexy. You've got vampires, a strip club for men. Jesse Cutlip could have done better, but i'm sure the show will get better and better. Vampires... Hot Hot Hot Hot... What's more to say, This show is Hottt...

rambler-9 "The Lair", for anyone who doesn't already know, is a spin-off series from Here!TV's "Dante's Cove", and follows it the footsteps of that series in that it's a supernaturally-themed gay soap-opera. In most other respects, it's a different thing entirely.I enjoyed "The Lair" quite a bit. While it suffers from all those things that typically plague new shows (the actors are still finding their characters, and so are the writers, for that matter) - especially new, short-season shows - it's well-produced, and feels well-directed as well. Some of the actors' performances are quite good, and I would say that all the core character performances are superb, which is unusual for a new show. The characters of Thom, Damien, and Colin are strong, motivated, and well-acted, and the supporting cast does a good job as well.Although the show is a gay soap spin-off of "DC", and contains a "Gentlemen's Club" as a major location, it is actually less nudity-saturated than its sire. Perhaps that's due to "DC's" island beach location, while "The Lair" has a somewhat more urban feel about it (although it's ostensibly set on an island as well.) The nudity in this show feels more "natural" (that is to say, more plot-supported and less random) than that in "DC", and is only on rare occasion a distraction from the show's main action. There is sex (gay) and a lot of it (remember the "Gentlemen's Club") but it feels natural to the plot line and the location, and is generally well-acted (a major thing, in my opinion, if you want "hot" instead of "huh" in your sex scenes.) I'll give one ding in that there are scenes of group sex where the guys are soft (though the camera doesn't dwell on that part of the anatomy - this isn't hard-core porn, after all) and it feels off. Maybe there's a rule about showing hard guys on non-porn, but it seems to me that for a couple of seconds of airtime, it greatly help with suspension of disbelief - after all, I'm supposed to believe these guys are ENJOYING this. Either that, or edit more tightly so it's not obvious on a casual (that is, I'm not freeze-framing to hunt for it) viewing.Overall, I really enjoyed the show. I think it got off to a stronger start than "DC" and am really enjoying the mix of interesting characters, skin/sex, and of course the "John Doe Murders" plot line running as the main frame the show lives on. I think this one has legs, and will give us all a good run.

preppy-3 here! TV's second gay supernatural soap opera. The first was the truly dreadful and boring "Dante's Cove". This one is about an exclusive club called the Lair. You have to be invited in. It seems it's a cover for a group of young attractive gay vampires. They go out, invite hunky attractive guys in and drain them dry. Investigative reporter Thom (David Moretti) finds out something is going on when his jealous boyfriend Jonathan (Jesse Cutlip) goes there and is found comatose later on. Also it seems Thom is the reincarnation of the head vampires (Peter Stickles) long-lost love. There's also a subplot about a straight woman trying to leave her abusive lover.As you can see this pretty silly and familiar plot wise. I THINK this is supposed to be campy because some of the lines are just beyond ridiculous. Also, like all other soap operas, these people were not hired for acting ability. They were hired on how good-looking and in good shape they were too. Every guy has a nude scene (back views only) and there's plenty of guy on guy sex scenes. Most of the cast can't act (Cutlip especially is terrible) but Moretti, Stickles and old porn star Colton Ford are OK. The frequent sex scenes keep things enjoyable and, unlike "Dante's Cove",this moves fairly quickly. Be warned, this doesn't stint on blood andviolence. It's not TOO graphic but it's there. No great shakes but a fun, enjoyable gay vampire soap opera. The prime audience for this is gay men and women. I give it a 7.
