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.

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.

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…

FIVE BLACK GAY WEB SERIES RECAPPED
SHOTS FIRED! Let’s face it, even William Shakespeare had hecklers. Hell I’m sure there were even cave men that critiqued cave art. Criticism of art is probably older than art itself. Having said that, I decided to finally watch all of the scripted web series…
