 Not Too Bad Mar 14, 2010
This short-lived episodic series took one of the most realistic views into the down low scene I have seen to date. The characters are genuine, the situations are realistic and at times very comical. If you are looking for a series that is thought-provoking and entertaining this is a must-see.

Afro-America Liberated Nov 29, 2009
Of the Afro-Americans still rarely Hollywood presents works not filled if even in comedies, with gun-drugs gang-murdering actions.
It is simply nice to watch something different from cliché of steady anti-social activities while San-Francisco lads direct their urges in different direction.
This set of stories is distinct from Noah's Arc as much as a fairy story of the Red Hook differs from The Jungles Tales, in common sharing men's desires for sexual gratification mutual and some actors, seemingly.
Funny situations, nice performing, easy, relaxed show - no blood, no murdering, no sexual harassment, really nice music.

 Happy Customer Sep 16, 2009
I was very happy with this purchase. I received it earlier that I suspected in good condition.

WHY?????????????????? Jul 30, 2009
Why do all ads for this refer to it as "The Complete First Season"?
First season??? Hell, its the ONLY damn season! Makes no damn
sense, either. Unlike some of the previous reviewers who apparently
sought out the show looking for a life changing experience, I merely
was looking to be entertained....and I was. It was great to just
see gay MOC interacting with each other period, since you are more
likely to see the Loch Ness Monster on a reality date with Bigfoot,
on TV first. However, that, sadly is also why there are only four
episodes of The DL C, while series such as Queer as Folk have gone for
many full-fledged (not some paltry 4 episodes) seasons. I assume
MOC into each other, and not pursuing White men is a no no. I guess
they don't even want the mere thought that MOC can actually p-r-e-f-e-r
each other, to even enter the public consciousness. Trust me, if there
were an abundance of White men being chased on The DL C, there would
be 5 times as many episodes produced by now. Same reasoning applies
to Noah's Arc. If Noah and crew had been all hugged up on White guys,
it would still be on the air too.
The Complete First Season.....indeed. Here is a clue:
In order to properly quantify as a "First" season.....there needs to be
subsequent seasons to follow, or at l-e-a-s-t a second damn season.

 It's no Noah's ARC! May 25, 2009
I think unsuspecting people should be aware that this series is NO Noah's ARC. I'm not talking about the stories. I was very aware of what this series was about before I saw it. I read all the reviews. And like Noah's ARC, I was expecting a bunch of unknown actors and low budget production. However, I LOVED Noah's ARC. A beautiful series that was truly ended way too soon. No so much this series. There should never be a season 2.
I think Noah's ARC writing and direction made it a better series to watch and enjoy. How do I describe the DL Chronicles? In one word...AWFUL. And predictable. (I guess that was two words.) And on top of the poor stories (and really bad acting) we were constantly treated to gratuitous nude scenes. I'm not opposed to nude scenes, but there was no point to these. In one scene there was full frontal nudity. What?!
Plus the show had a lot of plot holes, which really irritated me. For example, in the story of Robert, can anyone tell me what the timeframe was? He met the guy in the store, then online, then at his apartment and then on a few dates. Next thing I knew... they were professing love for each other. I couldn't tell if this romance happened in a week or a year. I kept thinking to myself that if the executive producers/ writers/ directors (who appeared to be the same people, which probably led to most of the problems) had eliminated all the nude scenes, maybe we could have been treated to more plot that actually filled in some of the holes.
Either way, I don't think that this would have improved the stories, much. I understand that this series was pretty popular among the young, gay college crowd. However, straight women like my friends and myself found it "unwatchable." View at your own risk.
