Here! Networks’ award-winning television series The
DL Chronicles tells the sometimes painful, sometimes touching, but always sexy stories of men of color who are leading clandestine sexual lifestyles. The “DL” stands for “Down Low,” referring to the concealed existence that these men who sleep with men find themselves living every day. Each show features the narrative of a different man, and the focus ranges from street hustlers to college athletes to powerful business executives. Skillfully directed, brilliantly acted, and extremely well written, these poignantly affecting stories are not to be missed. In episode “Robert,” a closeted talent agent and the hot health food store manager twenty years his junior begin a complex relationship after an initial flirtation. In episode “Boo,” ex-convict, mooch, and player Boo is forced to reconsider his reckless life when shocking news rattles him. In the final episode of the screening, loving couple Mark and Donte are jolted by the unexpected arrival of Mark’s thuggish cousin. As the two play the parts of “roommates” with humorous consequences, the couple eventually comes to realize the ridiculous nature of living on the DL in their own home.
