Hunting Season

Are you guys familiar with the webseries Hunting Season? If not, do you live under a rock? Get on it! Hunting Season Season 2 just premiered last week - May 5th and let me tell you, it is absolutely amazing. Oh, yeah, duh - spoiler alert!

The first season introduced us to the journalist and semi-popular blogger Alex and his adventure with his friends.  The season explored the dating life of gay men in New York - hookups, sex, relationships, the whole ordeal.

The second season is a lot more depth. We once again jump into Alex's life a few months after the first season's end. Alex is single again and a run-in with an ex puts his life into perspective. So it looks like this time around, it's a lot less about sex and a lot more about "falling in love".

To be honest, I wasn't that big of a fan of the first season. The men are gorgeous, Ben Baur (he's going to be in the book-to-film adaptation Something Like Summer as Jace Holden) is absolutely sex on legs and adorable, there's a LOT of sex but that's all there was for me. Two episodes in in Season 2 and it's already 1000 times more interesting! I feel as though we are really getting to know the characters this time, I can't help but feel for Alex as we learn more about his past.  The only bad part is it's released on Vimeo on Demand so you have to pay to watch it.
