Dante's Cove - Gift Set (2007, DVD)

This series is FUN! It is a mixture of Gothic horor novel meets Queer As Folk. Wonderful Gay villian and Great villianess. Beautiful gay men and women. A real soap opera for the new century. Production values are good. A fun watch

The first DVD of Season 1, the acting was very stiff and the love scenes were awkward, but as it progressed it got a little better. By Season 2 it improved quite a bit. Its fluff but enjoyable. I do like the relationship between Toby and Kevin so far. Their love scenes also got better. The lost pilot was not good at all. Did not like it.

I rented Dante's Cove on Netflicks a few months ago and I was so incredibly and pleasently surprised. If you put aside the gorgeous tropical location, gorgeous men and women, steamy scenes...you have a damn good horror/mystery plot. It's fascinating to watch the characters learn more and more about the magic on Dante's Cove and (in some cases) how to use the magic already inside them. This gift set has seasons 1 and 2 and the "lost pilot" which is very interesting to watch because you can see how they learned from their mistakes and also how the show could have taken a slightly different route. I can't wait until June to buy season 3 on DVD!

I had bought this for a gift. The person told me they liked the product.
They seemed to like the product very much that they wanted to know where I got it from.

The DVD set which is 2 seasons of a show that can best be described as a mixture of gay/lesbian, witchcraft, suspense and soap opera is a definite good buy in my opinion. Putting aside some of the nudity, the storylines are woven nicely together with the edge of your seat suspense that holds you and makes you want to watch more. The characters are handsome- sexy- funny and even convincing which you would think kind of hard to pull off with all of the previously mentioned elements. The downfalls of this series to me is the building of characters could happen in a different way and basically, it kind of gives the feel of being sometimes overly campy.
