Movie Reviews of The DL Chronicles: The Complete First Season
Movie Review: WOW. One terrific series!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Unigue storyline! It is difficult to be just gay, but the black/gay existence is kept so below the surface! It survives beautifully and one really cares about the characters and what they go through to be themselves. A wonderful series and so well acted!Movie Review: Mind Blowing
Summary: 5 Stars
I think these episodes were amazing. I watched all four and loved them. The story of Robert was my favorite. Boo was so real and really gave you a look into the possible mind and life of the "thug" DL man. The other stories were very funny and heart warming. The DL Chronicles are seriously the hot news of my dorm now because I keep telling people about it and they keep borrowing it. LUV THE DL CHRONICLES AND CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2.Movie Review: DL Chronicles...I could take it or leave it
Summary: 3 Stars
The Frist Season of DL Chronicles gives us a good insight of what some of our Brothers are up to but it still leaves us wondering why and how can I tell who belongs to this secret society. Additionally, this season was short. Good entertainment if your interest is in this area but it leaves you still needing answers to your questions. Movie Review: Eye-opening!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an eye-opening experience. I truly enjoyed this movie and have encouraged a few girlfriends to watch too. Thanks.Movie Review: good enough to watch the next season
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised. I bought this DVD on a whim. The term DL is always negatively associated with black men while our white counter part (ie brokeback mountain) is heralded as a gay love story. I was pleased that it was not stories of Black men who habitually cheat on their wives and girlfriends. While a couple of the shorts involved the secret lives - others where about coming out (or not) and the fear of losing friends and family members as a result of that choice. Episode 1 Wes - his story is not finished - so I'm not sure he is on the DL or just made a bad decision during a drunken pity party - it dosen't mean he will continue to sleep with men
Episode 2 Robert - A middle age man who is embarking on a new relationship for the first time with a man and afraid for his college age daughter to find out - this is not DL - this is more coming out.
Episode 4 Mark - A couple living together - tries to hide the statis of their relationship from an univited out of town relative- again not DL .. this is closet
Now edisode 3 Boo - this is DL ..this character is freely sexing both men and women without any regard for safe sex practices -while adamantly denying being gay (his rationale he doesn't get f**ked and he'll let a guy suck him or he'll do him and that is different) this is the most compelling character in the whole series. Boo really is on the DL he has no remorse or desire to make a choice or make a change - the life of a DL man is self serving
I recommend this product and I hope the makers will continue to explore the various life experiences of gay men - I just wished they named it something else - the show really explores the different struggles in self acceptance verses the life of a DL man
