I have been watching on a recommendation from a friend a TV series called Dante's Cove.
The best way to describe it is an omni-sexual (mostly gay) soap opera. A combination of Dark Shadows, Melrose Place, Sex in the City, Queer as Folks. The writing and acting is bad. The scenery is gorgeous. (It is filmed in Turks and Caicos)
The Dark Shadows building blocks are there
A curse man who is over two hundred years old. (Barnabas)
The woman who cursed him. (Angelique)
The cursed man's unwilling helper (Willie)
The object of the cursed man obssession (Victoria) instead of a woman it's a man.
The boyfriend of the above character (different characters)
It is like watching a train wreck (I know it's a cliche, but I think it really fits)
I watched episdoe 1 (pilot and 2) They are both 90 minutes or so.
Here is a poster for season 2
