Hook Up

[antistatic]

This 8 episode BL started today and has popped up on You Tube with eng subs.

It seems to be quite a low budget effort and (for me) had a bit of a slow start. it improved once the two guys started chatting on grindr Findr but I couldn't shake the thought that it was a very, very pale imitation of Gameboys. Still, I'm going to give it a go. I also quite liked that one of the actors left a comment below the video thanking people for watching.

JACE TV has a second webseries:

Saturdays for the rest of the summer are likely going to be very busy. I can't believe how many new episodes from the Pinoy shows came out today. Episode 2 is premiering right now:

I liked the conversation the guys had where they managed to mention practically every current Pinoy BL series there is. They even quoted a couple of shows that haven't started yet.

At first I wondered if they were having a sly dig when Henry made the Gameboys quip but once all other titles started being said I realised it was all just an in-joke. It did become a bit of a random conversation though and the Sakristan reference stood out like a sore thumb.

It was a random conversation, but I liked it since it was a nice call out

I think they are starting to hit the issues with filming during quarantine, especially with that sex scene. Personally, I would prefer them not go through with it and gone more with a storyline of how two guys can start and maintain a relationship remotely during corvid times. Instead, it pushed the story that sex resolve everything, which ends up being really awkward due to the limitation of corvid.

Here is episode 7:

I really want to like this series, but all the scenes feels so disjointed. It feels like I skipped scenes, and I had to fill in what happened based on the confusing conversations

Episode 8 was the finale of Hook Up. It's direct sequel will be:

I thought it started out strong, but kind of lost its way by the end. So is One Night Stand the continuation of Hooked?

A reimagined version of Episode 4 has been released with English subs.


"What would the events of that episode been like without lockdowns, quarantine and the pandemic?"

So, before we get to Hook Up's follow on series: One Night Stand, they've snuck in an extra mini-series called Unguarded to tell us what went on during the time period between the two.

Starts on 14th November.
