Staccato (Sordid Lives, the TV series)

I just got finished watching Sordid Lives, the TV series on the netflix.

I rather liked it. It’s a prequel to the play/film of the same name by Del Shores.

In the season/series finale there was unexpected full (but brief) frontal male nudity. There were a couple of other glimpses of penises, which mostly seemed like it could’ve been sloppy editing, or more likely something that a censor missed while blinking. But in the last episode the opening night of an all-nude play called Staccato—which is referred to for 11 prior episodes—occurs.

(This is actually 2 separate, unrelated clips...with German subtitles.)

The show aired on Logo, a digital cable TV channel with programming geared toward the LGBT community.

I don’t know that channel. I don’t know how heavily it was edited for airing. There was some profanity, but not tons. But the nudity was just a little surprising for what seemed like a typical TV show. I mean, they could’ve done without the nudity, but it certainly made sense for the character, etc.

It reminded me a bit of The Full Monty, except they did show the big “reveal”.

Anyway, I rather enjoyed the show (you know, the program) and would love to see the film or play now.

I don’t expect that there’d necessarily be nudity. And, despite what some might think, not everything in my life is about nudity. I’m actually curious about the characters and what happens next.
