WEB SERIES REVIEW: FREEFALL (aka Baywatch on Land) – Episode 12 “Pressure”
This web series has now officially been renamed “Baywatch on Land.” Campy soap opera writing, weak acting from interchangeable shirtless models and a fan base that will watch anything earns it the new title.
WATCH: Episode #2 of New Bisexual Web Series “Ken”
The series being introduced is called, “Ken” which is described as one that examines Faith and Sexuality. The attractive cast features both men and women and has crispy sound and visuals .
Web Series Roundup: No Shade, The OUT Crowd & Freefall
New web series episodes dropped this week, folks. We have a couple returning champions as well as a new contestant to the arena. I’ve actually lost count on how many active gay web series that are currently in rotation. I guess that’s a good thing.
WATCH: Episode #1 of New Bisexual Web Series “Ken”
KEN is a three-part dramedy about a young professional black man coming to terms with his sexuality and Christianity. The series brings front-and center the issues of sex, salvation and secrets for a millennial African-American man living in Brooklyn, who has feelings for two very different people.
WTF Is Up With Black Gay Content Creators?
Wouldn’t it be nice if black gay content creators like Deondray Gossett, Quincy LeNear, Lamont Pierre, DL Briggs, Patrick-Ian Polk, Sean Anthony, Lasto, Ernest Pierce, Kaos, Wayne Hobdy, David Summers, George Smith Hill, Maurice Jamal, Romaine Phillips, Lonnell Williams, etc. could come together like Voltron?
WATCH: Episode 1 of New Down Low Web Series “T.R.A.D.E. It All”
Here’s another one called, “T.R.A.D.E. It All” with at least a couple masculine men with everyday lives. Looks like the same old Down Low angle is used again. We even see the word “trade” in the title which supposedly is a slang word for masculine “unclockable” gay men.
CYPHER AVE RECAPS: No Shade 08 “Trans-cending”
True, No Shade features some flamboyant effeminate men, transgender women and more than a few black gay stereotypes…but its pretty damn good. I can’t deny that. This is one of the two best black gay web series ever made.
CYPHER AVE RECAPS: Freefall Ep 09 – “Deceit”
Freefall is one of the 3 best web series created by and featuring black gay men (joined by Drama Queenz and No Shade). Its got the best looking cast of any gay web series. The photography is on point. The audio has improved. Also, it’s at least trying to tell atypical gay stories.

WATCH: Web Series FREEFALL – Episode 2.2 [Open Discussion]
Here’s episode two of the new season of the black gay web series FREEFALL. I really enjoyed the debate that came out of the first episode so we’ll continue our Open Discussion format for this one as well. Please throw in your two-cents…
WATCH: Web Series FREEFALL Season Premiere (Episode 2.1)
The first episode of the new season of the web series Freefall dropped recently. Its great to see that filmmakers are still actively creating content featuring gay/bisexual men of color. It’s also great to see diversity highlighted in the content, such as the existence of…
GAY WEB SERIES REVIEW: In The Deep
{rating} Americans triumph over the British in many, many ways…giving birth to the worst black gay web series in the world (Street Behavior) is among these honors. But like King Joffrey Baratheon, the Brits have come pretty damn close to taking our throne….
WEB SERIES REVIEW: My Brother’s Keeper (Season Three)
{rating} The whole concept of a web series is both a gift and a curse. On one hand, it allows filmmakers to tell stories in cheap, unique ways outside of the traditional television formula. On the other hand, it potentially allows the artist too much…
