Tyson Anthony, writer of the LGBT novel that spawned the show “About Him,” debuts his new original Black gay web series “Pharm.” The six episode series, directed by Anthony himself, stars web newcomers Donivan Jordan, Cardo Decardo and Dexter McKenzie.
Synopsis:
Latham’s high is blown when a pill pushing, pizza delivery guy, named Pax slips into his life. Instantly a lust-struck Pax is hooked on Latham – a handsome individual who indulges often in a mind altering affair with a medicine called ‘Pharm’. Latham’s delusional ex-lover Quentin and Pax’s desperate quest to settle his money problems adds unwanted conflict to their new bond that’s destined to become a formula for success – or disaster.

In a press release, Tyson Anthony promises that series will be “similar to such shows as Breaking Bad, American Horror Story, and True Blood.”
However, based on the trailers for the series, it looks to be less inspired by those aforementioned shows and more of a sibling to recent soft-core porn Black Gay web series “Freefall” and “About Him.”
Further proof of this assumption was evidenced when I attempted to view the first episode on YouTube that premiered on August 7th 2016:
While the YouTube version of the series was reported and subsequently banned, it still exists for $2.99 rental on their VHX powered streaming site: http://www.watchpharm.com/
We weren’t given a season pass for review like most other web series, so we have no idea if its any good or not. But the cast looks attractive and Tyson Anthony has been very successful with gay erotica in the past, so we can be sure that the show is pretty hot and steamy…if you’re into that kind of thing in your web series.
While we love the fact that these talented men are continuing to do the hard work of creating more LGBT content, we’re still waiting for the arrival of a solid Black gay web series that doesn’t rely on sex to tell a riveting and entertaining story.
Until then, we’ll continue watching these Black gay web series in the way they were meant to be seen:
UPDATE: The first two episodes of the series are now available on YouTube.
PROMOTIONAL PHOTOS:
As much as I would ideally like to consider applying to be an actor featured in one of these shows, I am not there just yet…
Yo, Nick thanks for the posting. Yes – Youtube gave the first episode the axe. But it’s available on http://www.watchpharm.com completely free. Big fan of the site and hopefully you guys will love the PLOT!
So wait, is it Signal23 9r another company?
Looks like its independently produced by Tyson Anthony, not Signal23
SOFT PORN MANIA LOL
The site is currently not working or something.
Yeah I dunno…all of the YouTube videos are offline too.
Try this link instead: Home
So I can expect to catch this series on myvidster too?
:birdman:
So I mean I watched it and…I mean…you know…hey…you know…it was…hey…I….I….
I don't know what to say. It was something. I….I need to talk to someone else that watched it. I'm unable to form a coherent opinion on it. A lot was going on, I just don't know what was going on, but there was a lot of it. I'm befuddled. *goes to episode 2*
go ooooon
There was a lot going on so it kinda appeared "messy". It seems interesting though. The sex scene in Ep 2 has all the makings of late night cinemax sex…I actually like it. Its good that a black LGBT series can be rauncy like shows, Queer as Folk…now al we need is a deep set of characters that tackle different points of Black Gay trails and stuff and bam!!
One of my instagram thirst traps said he's gonna be an an ep of this,so I guess I'll be watching.:yeshrug:
The way I watch this series.
One extremely handsome, one somewhat handsome and one above average.
Two light skin. One dark skin.
One real smart. One somewhat smart. One not so smart.
One real tall. One somewhat tall. One short.
One Dominate TOP. One Versatile Bottom. One ROUND bottom.
Believe it, these are very important attributes to the show.
There isn’t much outside these elements that I see, because the storyline is not interesting enough.
Forgot something. One Northern and two southerners.
Season 4 and beyond. Pax friend stands out. He is mild thug. I seen him on Freefall. Langston, which was on the earlier Freefall that got canceled.
Tyson daydreams two hispanics having sex. One of them looks like Tiger TYSON. I seen this seen in three episode.
He is involved with a gay sounding light skinned boy. He is in other web series associated with him.
He chokes the LIFE out of LANGSTON (also a dark skin boy like himself). All I can remember LANGSTON doing this to a boy on a hookup on the FAILED freefall. LANGSTON is much bigger than TYSON so it looked very unbelievable.
It is important to understand the dynamics behind this. When I look at web series, I look at the psychology behind the plots and storyline.
Why is TYSON having sex with only light skinned boys in his series?
