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.
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.
CYPHER AVE RECAPS: No Shade 08 “Trans-cending”

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.

FIVE BLACK GAY WEB SERIES RECAPPED

WEB SERIES REVIEW: Freefall (Season One)
Seeing Season One of Freefall was like getting set up on a blind date with an attractive guy’s Best Friend. You get all hyped up thinking the date will be as sexy as him, only to find out that his friend is a Lord of the Rings Ork.
