Hunting season gay tv series
Gaybies Invade British Society in the Modern Webseries “The Vessel”
There’s a new webseries causing a stir (and not just in that region below your belt). It’s been referred to as the same-sex attracted Sex and the City, and that’s an apt comparison considering that Hunting Season focuses on a gay blogger dealing with sex, the city of New York and his three finest friends.
That blogger is Alex (Ben Baur, whose voiceovers for the show are far more nuanced than Carrie’s), a young 20-something who finds dating in NYC to be a difficult task, although hooking up with guys comes easily. Cruising comes easily for Tommy (Marc Sinoway) as well, who has mastered the art of using and losing guys. Nick (Gayby’s Jack Ferver) is the “older” guy of the group who is actually looking for a relationship—a seeming rarity for Manhattan gays. Lastly, there is prudish TJ (Jake Manabat), the guy in a long-term relationship that seems to be headed for disaster.
If these characters sound like longstanding clichés, that’s probably because they are. Any fan of SATC could easily deduce which of the girls they fit up with. But as we all know, stereotypes are based in fact; and the evidence is, it is
HUNTING SEASON is an independent online TV series following that follows Alex and his friends as they make their way through the dating and professional worlds of New York City. Alex starts a secret sex blog when he becomes single in an attempt to make instinct of his incredible experiences and uses it to gain some perspective and figure out what he really wants.
Season ONE is 8 ten-minute episodes, which was originally broadcast on LogoTV.com.
Season TWO is 4 half-hour episodes, funded entirely by fans on Kickstarter, and premiered exclusively on Vimeo on Demand.
Awards & Festivals
In January 2016, Out named Alex as one of its “30 Most Eligible Gay TV Characters”, after previously naming star Ben Baur to its Out100 list in 2015.
