CGiii Comment

There's nothing quite like a little bit of over-acting to get yourself noticed...

Possibly, one of the most accomplished web series' out there - in terms of production values - but, the content is decidedly uninteresting.

Kennar has obvious confidence in his product - having digs at Queer as Folk and Logo TV - by way of a Leslie Jordan monologue...Mr Jordan, Ms Bernhard, Ms Griffith...you are all better than this....times must be hard.

There is a distinct feeling that the cast is mainly composed of porn actors trying desperately to become legitimate actors...

A word of advice - sack the editor.

The(ir) Blurb...

From the executive producer of the "The L Word" and the star of "Noah's Arc," "DTLA" depicts the relationships and sex lives of eight friends with varied ethnic, cultural, and sexual orientations that work and live in the vibrant community of Downtown Los Angeles. Starring Darryl Stephens ("Noah's Arc") and a cavalcade of notable supporting cast including Golden Globe winning, and Academy Award nominated Melanie Griffith, Sandra Bernhard and Leslie Jordan, it's a story of love, friendship, loyalty, and being true to oneself - no matter what the cost.
