CGiii Comment

Really...seriously...absolutely...without quibble...they don't come much worse than this diabolical trio of tales.
 
First off...a 'raunchy' party, a bit of BDSM and a narcissistic surgeon [who can't act]...you'll laugh your face off...for all the wrong reasons!
 
Second...gay boys 'camping' in the wilderness...and, when a 'spooky' stranger pops up...they all have a jolly good time splashing around...with their underpants on!
 
Last...and certainly least...a Hallmark special...an artist [just about] shags the painting he painted of his dead lover! Tears will - most assuredly - fall...due to the ripeness of this cheese-fest.
 
Is there really an audience for this mind-numbing [rather hilarious] claptrap?!? If so, make yourself known!

The(ir) Blurb...

Shadowlands is an anthology style series that explores love in three separate stories - a couple renegotiating a relationship, a narcissist grasping to comprehend it, and star-crossed lovers mourning its loss. The series begins in 1928 with Alex, a plastic surgeon hell-bent on perfection, hosting a house party with an assortment of colorful guests. Amid romantic misfires it becomes apparent that the only person Alex is interested in is himself. Fast forward to 1951 and a gay military couple exploring the idea of opening their relationship while on a remote camping trip when they encounter a mysterious stranger.

The stories conclude in 2018 when a painter, mourning the loss of his lover, becomes obsessed with creating a realistic painting of him. The resulting piece is so beautiful and life-like that he is drawn under its spell.
