EastSiders Season 3

The EastSiders movie was okay, but nearly terrific as usual. But the problem is: there's no fourth season of EastSiders until further notice.

Excellent writing that takes Thom and Cal on a literal and emotional/sexual journey that is so well acted that I sometimes felt really uncomfortable watching, but couldn't turn away. The only off key note for me was, surprisingly, Colby Keller's appearance. And I'm not talking about his politics. His scenes with Thom alone and Thom and Cal, were remarkably not sexy and dispassionate. But overall, Season 3 exceeds the prior two seasons on every level, from writing, acting, to directing. It is amazing how beautifully they shoot the scenes on a shoe-string budget.

I've been waiting for more of this show ever since I stumbled upon the first season as a webseries a few years ago. This series is shockingly real and refreshing, and Season 3 absolutely lived up to the prior seasons. It's exceedingly well written, acted, and produced, and honestly one of my favorite shows of the year.

Great series

I absolutely love this series. It began on the web before moving to become an online service program. This series is so well written and acted. Can't wait for season four!

Great!

This season completes (one is tempted to say fulfills) what has become a trilogy in the lives of gay couple Cal (Kit Williamson) and Tom (Van Hansis). From the outset (Season 1), which depicted uncertainty, betrayal, a sense of disconnect, and lack of firm commitment in their relationship - thereby leading to an eventual (and temporary) separation - through a reunion and the rebuilding of trust and acceptance ultimately achieving a positive resolution (Season 2), we are now shown the two as a legitimate intimate loving couple (Season 3). This current "Season" comprises an actual road trip from NY to CA - a return to their original home in more ways than one - which serves as a kind of metaphor for this couple's relationship. Along the way that relationship is tested by a variety of mishaps, challenges, and revelations which inevitably leads to a new understanding, a sincere expression of love, and genuine commitment. This Season is divided into 6 stand alone Episodes that are also interlinked in one way or another. The campiness and shrillness of previous Seasons has been replaced with a much more serious and mature air. (This also applies to all the original characters from past Seasons.) But it is not overbearing and has many a laughable moment. Indeed, it is far more true to life than what you might find in comparable films of this genre. The dialogue (thanks to Kit Williamson) is credible and the behavior is quite natural. As is the case in other movies that revolve around a "road trip", this is also one of discovery. (As an aside, the titles of some of the Episodes is a humorous double entendre.) The acting is uniformly excellent and the entire story is most satisfying and never preachy. There are a couple of noteworthy "cameo" appearances and Traci Lords makes a brief but critical appearance as Cal's mother. With Season 1, I felt that the story of Cal and Tom was a work in progress. I'm happy to say that this work has now been satisfactorily completed. Bravo!

I like this show but it leaves me wanting more. From what I have read it is financially fly-by-your-pants. It never looks cheap but the stories could really take off with more time and money. I wish it had some major amazon/hulu/netflicks backing.

From the opening scene with Willam, I was hooked on this. Marvellous short series.

La temporada de Eastsiders es la mejor, me gusto mucho cada episodio, el dvd no cuenta con subtitulos al español por si tienen esa duda. Lo demás excelente
