I list this under spoilers because this show BLOWS CHUNKS! There, I spoiled it for you... Normally I enjoy really poorly made sci-fi shows with the bad "acting", boom mic in the shot, a lot of plot holes, cheap props & utterly forgettable "actors", but this show actually embarrasses me. They mostly rely on the sex scenes to keep people interested which is funny since most of the people are either low budget porn models with bodies that are less than remarkable. There isn't any special effects and no one has any real interesting our unique abilities, unless you count wearing a lot of eyeliner and the same clothing (in) every episode and the power to OVERACT & OVER EMOTE. You probably won't notice those flaws due to the very loud, distracting and NONSTOP musical score. They literally beat you over the head with it and it never stops. This show failed to keep me interested even with full frontal male nudity. I was hoping it would get better but it just stayed the same.

What IS it about low-budget gay entertainment??? It may be true that real talent doesn't always come cheap but surely - SURELY - there must be SOME actors out there, willing to "play gay" (whether they ARE gay or not), who have actual honest-to-goodness talent. Unfortunately, none of those actors are involved with "The Lair", a vampires-are-among-us series created for a gay audience. Utilizing the same nudity and sexually-charged situations that made "Queer As Folk" such a big hit, "The Lair" may initially draw in viewers simply because of that; what KEPT "QAF" popular, though, was its storytelling AND the fact that the performances were solid, creating characters you could actually care about or want to continue seeing. Not so with "The Lair", which truly values style over substance: most of the men presented here were chosen strictly for their looks. The summary of the show is that a newspaper reporter is investigating a series of strange deaths of unidentified men dumped in various spots; his investigation leads him to a gay sex club called (of course) The Lair, which is really owned and operated by vampires. (This is in no way a spoiler as this is clearly spelled out in the first few minutes of the first episode.) Naturally, this means the viewer is offered lots of men in soft-core situations. For those who aren't too demanding, the show may provide some entertainment. But I personally find this show's soft-core aspect dull and lifeless; everyone is young, trim, muscular, blah blah blah. It's all just so cookie-cutter! Don't get me wrong: I like looking at men as much as the next person but...I happen to like variety. All shapes, colors, and sizes. Apparently, though, only young white men of a particular style inhabit the world of vampires and "The Lair". I give it a rating of two only for the flesh shown, though even that hardly salvages it. That the show is directed by Fred Olen Ray doesn't help; he's directed countless exploitation flicks, made cheaply and poorly, for a seriously undemanding audience. Until now, his canon seems to have been created primarily for straight men (lots of T-and-A). This ranks (and I do mean "rank") right down there with them all! The show is boring, lifeless, rather UNsexy. The acting runs the gamut from wooden to melodramatic; the writing is simple-minded and seems to be there only to get from one sex scene to the next. It also seems to have been created under the guise that gay people are so starved for gay-themed entertainment that they'll watch anything put before them. Watch this show if you must but I say if you're going to watch guys going out it, why not just get some real porn and have at it?

well it is true:this is a gay horror soap opera made with small amount of money,but i like it.only for one reason:lead love story between Damien and Tom is looking very true to me.well acting for none professional actors.i mean people who never act in movies with budget over 500 000 dollars.of course other stories-plot lines in this soap opera is not very interesting.they probably were just added to make more tension,but they are seems to very weak-especially story with werewolf-no such things like constant full moon and in these scenes you can see very cheap effects.in third season Greek mythology is ahead -ring of Erebus-Greek god of darkness,who is not actually Satan in this mythology and male gorgon?-no such thing also in mythology,which is came to shows that writers didn't read it much it at all. Hope Tom &Damian will keep their love story in third season.and that is why i will continue to watch these series

The Lair: A spin off from Dante's Cove. its sexy, you have sexy actors. Beverly Lynne, David Moretti, Dylan Vox, Jesse Cutlip and Peter Stickles. And Johnny Hazzard who joins The Lair in the second season. Come on what's not to like. Of course the dialogue is better then Dante's cove. And yes some parts a hilarious. Beverly Lynne: as Laura Rivers. UMmmmmmmm. LIKE HER. and David Moretti, Come on what's not to like. He's Hottttttt. This show is Sexy. You've got vampires, a strip club for men. Jesse Cutlip could have done better, but i'm sure the show will get better and better. Vampires... Hot Hot Hot Hot... What's more to say, This show is Hottt...
