Description: (Gay & Lesbian) Since its premiere in 2005, 'Dante’s Cove' has grown from a cult sensation to a gay cultural phenomenon. Fun and provocative, the show has seduced thousands with its unabashed and unapologetic delivery of sex and camp, placing itself as the ultimate guilty pleasure. Season 2 is even more outrageous with the introduction of more deadly secrets, more intriguing twists and most importantly, more hot-bodied stars!
Amazon.com: Have you ever said to yourself, 'Gee, I like the overwrought soap opera of Melrose Place--if only it had explicit gay sex and supernatural storylines...'? Dante's Cove is for you! Come to this semi-tropical paradise and watch with glee as warlock Ambrosius (William Gregory Lee, formerly Virgil on Xena: Warrior Princess) uses his dark magic to pursue the hunky blond Kevin (Gregory Michael, As the World Turns) while fighting with Grace (Tracy Scoggins, The Colbys, Babylon 5), the powerful witch to whom Ambrosius was engaged...until she caught him in flagrante with a man. Meanwhile, Kevin's lover Toby (Charlie David, host of Crash Test Mommy) struggles to protect Kevin with the help of Van (Nadine Heimann), a newly-minted witch whose dabbling in magic threatens to wreck her relationship with magic-phobe Iowa girl Michelle (Erin Cummings, After Midnight: Life Behind Bars). And what are the schemes of Diana (Thea Gill, The L-Word), the mysterious woman who runs the historical society? Punctuating all of this angst and glowering are copious man-on-man sex scenes with a wee bit of woman-on-woman thrown in to round things out. The special effects are cheap, the dialogue obvious yet confusing, the plot lurches around like a drunk with his foot in a bucket, and the acting...well, let's just say the cast is very pretty to look at. The five episodes of Dante's Cove - the Complete Second Season follow a two-episode first season (more of a pilot, really); the story threads, such as they are, will make just as much sense whether you've seen Season One or not. There are several behind-the-scenes extra features on the dvd; most are the usual 'I'm so happy to be on this great show!' stuff, but the most interesting one interviews several cast members about being openly gay actors. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - better and worse
The second short season of Dante's Cove presents us with a better storyline and worse dialogues. Episodes have grown to five and the season is concluded by as high -and lame- a cliffhanger as that at the end of "season" one.
We have already been introduced to the characters and we find ourselves in the middle of action now, which is always fine with me. Problem is that the script sounds for a good 80% of the time completely idiotic. Short, disjointed sentences are conveying little meaning, no information about the character who speaks them who by the way generally sounds like a complete moron.
The setting has been changed too and, while the beaches are just as beautiful, the new hotel Dante is much less impressive than the old one even if it is much larger and allows more room for interaction.
Acting is just as plain as it was in season one with the possible exception of Thea Gill ... Read More
Rating: - Could be better, but enjoyable as is
I hadn't heard too much about this show when I got this DVD. Suffice to say, I wasn't expecting much, but I liked it anyway. The dialogue and special effects needed some punching up, but the copious eye candy made up for any deficiencies in the acting (in my opinion, anyway). And why does each season of this series only do single-digit episode counts? They need more material than that. Anyway, I was thrilled to see that Tracy Scoggins has been keeping busy since her stint on Babylon 5, and I hope that this show lasts a while. She seems like she's having a lot of fun playing Grace. I know we haven't seen the last of this show, and that things can only get better from here.
Rating: - A rare gem!!
Wow! The first sesason took off kinda slow. I think the writers didnt quite know where to take it, but the second season was amazing. A rareity to find such a fun frisy series that redifines witchcraft. Loved it! it was funny, scary, thrilling, mysterious, sexy, and enthralling all mixed into the second season. Cant wait for the 3rd season... and boy are the men sexy!!
Rating: - Guilty Pleasure
Hey,
This is a great show if you get past the bad actors. It has great pleasure scenes and has a good solid storyline, It also has a bit of fun in it with the supernatural side to it, and it has a bit of romance thrown in as well. This is very much a winding down guilty pleasure at bed time type show which to be honest have you ever even heard off. This is def worth the buy and its worth the price.
