A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
Hollywood's ancient power struggle ignites as 600-year-old vampire Landon Scott is summoned by the old ones to reclaim the city, but werewolf Charles refuses to yield, sparking a deadly conflict. Landon seizes control of The Lair, a club steeped in darkness, to breed a new generation of vampires and reclaim Hollywood's sinister allure. As Rein delves into the vampire's code, an unexpected ritual in Palm Springs turns the tables, transforming a group of men into eternal beings. Charles trembles in the face of Landon's power, while Landon revels in his newfound thralls, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown. Landon enlists his ancient sorcerer ally and awakens Beverly, Rein's former colleague, in a desperate bid to tip the scales in their looming battle. In the season finale, vampires and werewolves brace for a full moon clash that could spell either a new dawn or their cataclysmic end in this electrifying finale.
This show is atrocious and awful in every sense of the way. Yes, vampire college campy movies are supposed to be campy, when someone thinks that they are making serious content with a some meaning, I am rally not sure who are they fooling here, themselves or the audience. Not to say that there may not be an audience for this kind of show. I can bet that there are many people who liked the show and even will buy the DVD's but oh my god! Was this show awful or what. Right from bad acting, to bad direction, to some really bad editing; just about everything screams amateur who has been given a lot of money. The production value seems nice, and the cast is generally good looking; but there is only so much that audience's attention can be held with sex scenes including plenty bare butts. After a point, you do wanna care about the story and the characters ( to be fair some back story has been given to th main characters and reasoning behind why they are doing what they are doing), but absolutely none of it can salvage this badly awfully made show. This fight for control between the bloodthirsty vampires and savage werewolves is laughable and not at all fun. In fact, this is a good case study of how not to make films/shows. And this is 2024. If this was made 15 years ago, makers had some sort of excuse. (0.5/10)
