Editorial Reviews:
"The DL Chronicles" tells the stories of men of color who by consequence and by choice live sexually duplicitous and secret lifestyles. The "Down Low" is a slang term sometimes used to refer to African-American men who identify themselves as straight but secretly engage in sexual activity with men. They date women have children and often marry in an effort to appear heterosexual to the public. Most of these men do not identify as gay or bisexual and refuse to be associated with the gay identity or gay community.System Requirements:Run Time: 132 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 858423001254 Manufacturer No: LIB00125

Summary: Mind Blowing
Comment: I think these episodes were amazing. I watched all four and loved them. The story of Robert was my favorite. Boo was so real and really gave you a look into the possible mind and life of the "thug" DL man. The other stories were very funny and heart warming. The DL Chronicles are seriously the hot news of my dorm now because I keep telling people about it and they keep borrowing it. LUV THE DL CHRONICLES AND CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2.

Summary: DL Chronicles...I could take it or leave it
Comment: The Frist Season of DL Chronicles gives us a good insight of what some of our Brothers are up to but it still leaves us wondering why and how can I tell who belongs to this secret society. Additionally, this season was short. Good entertainment if your interest is in this area but it leaves you still needing answers to your questions.

Summary: good enough to watch the next season
Comment: I was pleasantly surprised. I bought this DVD on a whim. The term DL is always negatively associated with black men while our white counter part (ie brokeback mountain) is heralded as a gay love story. I was pleased that it was not stories of Black men who habitually cheat on their wives and girlfriends. While a couple of the shorts involved the secret lives - others where about coming out (or not) and the fear of losing friends and family members as a result of that choice. Episode 1 Wes - his story is not finished - so I'm not sure he is on the DL or just made a bad decision during a drunken pity party - it dosen't mean he will continue to sleep with men
Episode 2 Robert - A middle age man who is embarking on a new relationship for the first time with a man and afraid for his college age daughter to find out - this is not DL - this is more coming out.
Episode 4 Mark - A couple living together - tries to hide the statis of their relationship from an univited out of town relative- again not DL .. this is closet
Now edisode 3 Boo - this is DL ..this character is freely sexing both men and women without any regard for safe sex practices -while adamantly denying being gay (his rationale he doesn't get f**ked and he'll let a guy suck him or he'll do him and that is different) this is the most compelling character in the whole series. Boo really is on the DL he has no remorse or desire to make a choice or make a change - the life of a DL man is self serving
I recommend this product and I hope the makers will continue to explore the various life experiences of gay men - I just wished they named it something else - the show really explores the different struggles in self acceptance verses the life of a DL man

Summary: Definitely Worth Watching
Comment: There are four stories in this set which all deal with aspects of the 'Down Low' life. It gives us a view from not only the DL person's viewpoint, but many of those who he comes into contact as well. I felt Episode #1 was the weakest, since by the end of the story, there is no real change made in the lead character's life. There's plenty of eye candy in each episode to keep you interested in these characters and see how they resolve thier life issues. Episode #2 is cute, predictable and very 'sweet'. Episode three is a real eye-opener as to what often happens in society. Blame for the spread of STDs is shared not only by the DL individuals, but also their contacts as well. It makes a strong case as to why we need to use protection EVERY time with EVERYBODY. Episode #4 has an interesting 'plot twist' and keeps the viewer's attention focused. The additional conversations by the Directors and actors in the "Commentary" section makes for a very interesting expose on this DL topic as well. I'd heartily recommend it.
