I should write a review of this series, but I won’t…basically because: Who really cares.
Instead I’ll just give my hot takes:
• It’s shit.
• Rico Pruitt is the Kevin Hart of Black Gay Web Series: Overexposed and Undertalented.
• Maybe that was harsh.
• Pruitt is handsome, but his appeal with young black gays isn’t proportionate to his level attractiveness.
• Okay, that may have been harsh too.
• This web series is basically the black gay millennial version of “The Player’s Club.”
• The abusive boyfriend is, of course, an unemployed masculine Top, the new stereotype.
• I find it hard to believe that these “actors” are serious about the craft.
• These web series and their popularity are slowly causing me to believe that all young black gay men under 30 years old are, or want to be like, these men.

Also… at some point I do hope that the practiced eyebrow-raised-wrinkles-in-the-forehead-bashful-Jaden Smith /Odell Beckham look evaporates before the year 2020 along with dudes making duck lips. #OldManGrumblings
I'm not doing this with yall. I actually wouldn't mind a series where bony nggas keep they clothes on.
Got DAMN you @Nick Delmacy , you are just too good!!! :salute:
Your Hot takes on this series is freakin spot on. Every single one of them.
In particular this,
OMG, when I first saw endless threads, myvidster vids, and corny gay vloggers wanting to interview him, I thought WTF? Am I missing something? I mean he aight. Maybe a lil cute even. But its made to seem like he was the dude everyone was waiting for. Like he was Tyson Beckford fine. I was just confused.
I low key want to hate watch it just to be apart of the conversation and stay in tune with what the millennial gays are up to and into these days. Maybe i'll save it for one of those days when Im feeling particularly masochistic.
I wonder if all of these web series were out when I was 24 would I had of moved to Atlanta.
If I'm being honest (and I've said this jokingly before but there's truth to it) part of me does admire how "sexually free" these young dudes are. If I were 23 years old right now, masculine, kinda attractive and at a slim 6'2" tall without religion or family in Atlanta…I not only would be on my 6th relationship, I would have at least 3 tatts and writing/directing my own gay web series.
So a part of me does envy these young dudes in that way…but not in the total disregard they have for exposing their bodies to the world for rolls of pennies and some IG likes.
I went through the premiere and it was very underwhelming. Same oversexualized crap.more power to them, but i wont be supporting this one.
1) The video quality wanted me to believe the content was gonna be quality but that was not the case. It reminds me of the few guys I met on CA … their conversation didn’t match their pictures lol
2) Most of the guys are not really “sex symbols” or what I deem universally attractive. I thought that was a requirement for black gay web series today.
3) Atlanta is such a fucking tired cliche for black gay men. Could they make up an imaginary city or pick another major city outside of ATL, LA, DC, and NYC …. damn! I mean I would love to hear about the lives of gay men in another city where it’s not tthe norm to have 6 black gays live in a one bedroom apt with no furniture, there’s not 100 sex parties every night, and black gay men have interesting lives outside of fucking/failing at dating/cruising.
4) Many of us on CA are very well educated, understand the importance of refined entertainment, blessed w/ sophisticated thinking patterns, etc …. LET ME BE CLEAR, WE’RE THE MINORITY, especially in the black gay community. We may not find this fulfilling in any way but in today’s society where young and old people find fake ass ratchet ass terrible ass embarrassing ass the Love & Hip Hop series as top notch legitimate and quality entertainment …. there’s definitely an audience that will love this (simple minded plebians). Sometimes we need to check our elitism LOL
Check our elitism? Why?
We are constantly talking about how Black folks need to do better and actually BE the change they wanna see, but like Love & Hip Hop, these Web series amplify the worst parts of us… mostly because the writers and the actors are so subpar.
I'm sure it was a mess. I actually enjoyed About Jim's message a little but this Lit sh*t needs to hurry and get extinguished fast. Face it, if you're tall, light skinned, have abs and tats, with duck lips and wrinkled foreheads, you're basically a God to them. You can be as talentless as everything known to man but if you not afraid to be naked and have those listed..Then you're hired on the web series scene. It's truly funny how most of the actors are leaving the shows…Like Tripp Ali has canned the Tex Brown thing…Well he don already got butt ass nekkind and got his peen sucked on the show in full view already soo….idk
For me, you are either going to do porn and not. "…Pick a side, Pick a side" (in my Nicki Minaj voice). And don't tease me goddammit!!!!
These posters have me weak

THANKS! You saved me from wasting 5:17min of time~LOL!
But correct me if wrong, isn’t this webseries produced by the same dude who did all those other webseries that seem to have the same storyline, that HE himself also ACTS in??? Same plot, Same BS!
Alright back to what you were doing guys…..Peace!
WELL AS BLACK GAY WEB SERIES GO I THINK THIS IS SLIGHTLY INTERESTING , THE ACTING IS WEAK , THE FELLAS ARE NOT BAD LOOKING [GAY THUG LOOKS] , SOMEWHAT INTERESTING STORY LINE. FOR THOSE OF US STILL WAITING FOR THE NEXT SEASON OF NOAH’S ARC OR THE D L CHRONICLES OR THE CANCELED SHOW L A COMPLEX THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO CHOOSE FROM INCLUDING THE ARTHOUSE PROJECTS. IT FEEDS THE JUST-LOOK-AT-PORN-CONSTANTLY-NEED . THIS IS LIGHT SEX WITH FANTASY TO LIVE OPENLY AND FIND SEX/LOVE IN THIS MILLENNIAL WORLD. THEY ARE GIVING US WHAT IT TAKES FOREVER AND A DAY FOR THOSE OTHERS SHOWS I MENTION WON’T GIVE US AND THAT IS > RIGHT NOW EPISODES/TV SOMEONE PUT YOUR MONEY TOGETHER FOR THE BLACK-GAY-CHANNEL < OCKYDUB HAVE YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER ON THIS SITE TALKED ABOUT STARTING A BLACK GAY NETWORK ? AND WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO DO SO ? PLEASE DO A RADIO SHOW ABOUT SOON OK !
Watched the trailer, but that's about it. Liked the soft porn scenes, they sometimes do ring my bell. Too bad that guy with the blue shirt wasn't in it…I think he could relight my fire!? He looks cute, who ever he might be.
Pardon me for asking, but I'm new here so…
…why is Freedom Train shouting:damn:
The criticism is in the wrong person. Ever since Cory teamed up with Lynrik, the quality of his content has taken a nose dive.
I really had hopes for Real Eyes. But than came living for the weekend and I was done with anything having to do with Cory.
Its like they do these shows for the attention without giving much thought to the audience reaction.
So when his name came up, I automatically thought of Cory. This was the first place I saw him.
Anyway, although he is interesting to look at with his complex mixed race background. Poindexter would always be one of favorite Cory boyfriends.
He alludes a masculine quality that is so lacking in the gay community. You often wonder if he is gay.
But that is only half of it. He alludes something else that is normally seen on gangster shows, so having him on a gay program was very interesting.
Cory has had many better people on his show than the guy you mention, but at least he had a more characteristic role outside what he did for a living.
However, when I saw him again, he was on About him. I already had my suspicions of this program. After watching only two Episodes I sat on it for months until I could muster some time to watch more Episodes.
Three of them was actually better. There was a strong father figure role (well not really, but better than the crap before).
Even when they brought in his cousin, it was interesting. There was a little bit of a character.
Gary and his mother situation was also interesting.
Than came episode 9. What was gain in the prior episodes was totally diminished.
I knew I seen the guy u mentioned somewhere. I don’t watch porn or follow it, but I have watch many web series.
I thought this was Cory’s guy. And than I ask the question of why would Henderson of all people do anything with Cory’s people?
Unlike Cory, Henderson has built up an Amazing profolio of actors and actresses. At least I thought, he is on par with Lamont Pierre.
However, after this Henderson looses all respect from me.
I do not care how bad he is, if the producer higher’s him, than they are at fault.
That’s not saying much, because I have had problems with Lamont productions as well. Remember Freefall?
As bad as Lamont productions can be, the worse is Cory’s best.
Since 2017, I have exclusively watch black heterosexual content.
All this is a lie. I have never been on About Him lol
Yal are funny any who.. Season 2 is Back and better than ever. Posts like this I love. I love the naysayers but look now. lol
