When that lady said Dwight was weird, I thought "you know, I guess he is a bit weird, but in an adorable harmless way." I suddenly realized what a good character he is and how well acted he is.

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

It makes us happy that you like Dwight.

[@brucekentnyc]

id love a combination of both Ray and Dwight. the qualities of both would surely suit me.

[@tpalia3]

Thank you! :)

[@Girish_Rao]

Wow, Rich, I'm just...."speechless".

[@douglasdean3785]

I absolutely adore how Ray stood up for Dwight when the neighbor lady Linda came over to complain about his sax playing! Also loved how Dwight heard it going on surreptitiously and showed Ray his appreciation for having his back. These guys are relationship goals! Rich I'm infatuated with this show. Couldn't wait for it to post tonight/this morning. Your characters are just charismatic on so many levels. Even the annoying ones! I am so glad you found the need to bring this tale to life. You've really stuck a nerve with those of us older gay guys and I sincerely hope this webseries continues to grow its audience as so much of gay culture is youth driven that our generation is starving for our representation too. I'm deeply thankful that creators such as yourself are telling our stories because the younger LGBT+ people I know in their 20s are mostly ignorant of the struggles we went through and continue to go through even today. With SO many of our generations creatives having been wiped out by AIDS those of us who remain have a duty to document our past and share our current struggles as well. Your telling this tale is a fantastic entry of that ideal and also makes me feel that I'm not alone in a time when a lot of us truly are if we're not living in big cities. So again thank you from the depths of my heart for crafting such a remarkable tale and doing the incredible amount of work it takes to bring it into existence. You're touching people you'll never know and making them feel seen! Well done you! Carry on!

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Douglas! Thank you for these amazing words. It's feedback like this that makes the whole challenge of bringing this show to life worth it. It's really gratifying to hear how you (and many others) have been connecting to the characters and their struggles. You definitely help solidify my determination to make season two a reality... and more seasons beyond that. THANK YOU.

[@OzyIllustrates]

Boys, I’m an old man. I need more than 10 minutes to get my fix. Thank you 😂 🐍

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

We relate! The goal for season two is to raise enough to make 10 episodes that are 22-25 minutes long.

[@diegomonteo]

I think the way Dwight kisses Ray is beautiful.. with love and lust

[@travishunterbrown]

Ryan Murphy needs to see this series!! I'm sure he could use his gay Hollywood muscle to bring it to Netflix and or FX!

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Agreed! Someone please share our link with Ryan Murphy!!!

[@Nora-ox3jn]

Why did it take a YEAR for this AWSOME webseries to land on my YT feed??? I am so loving this. I'm a woman but very much relate a lot with Ray. I just became 50 , had to quit a job I adored, because of personal reasons , having worked almost 4 yrs and now struggling to find a new job. I have a dependent son and Living in a city where cost of living is high is very scary. I am single and plan to stay single. Tried dating but OMG men here are just Boys! I love Dwight, he seems so mature for his age. Just loving this show and binge watching it now! Love from Vancouver , Canada! 💖

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found the show. Keep tuned, we're almost done shooting the second season. Updates will follow on the channel.

[@brianmoore6306]

How sexy is Rich Burns? That beginning scene where he is shirtless is priceless! HA HA And he was so hot when they jumped out the car and he was waring short pants and a tight shirt. I love the look of this guy. I watch a lot of KZbin, and watching this series, the time just flies by so fast and then it's over! I'm disappointed with the disappointments because I want them to go on longer!!! Thanks for the great work, Rich!

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Thank you! We're happy you're hooked!

[@rubencohen2936]

🏳️‍🌈 This series is the most entertainment viewing on KZbin ! 👬 👍

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Wow! Thank you!

[@thomasescalante9150]

Love it! So glad I found it.

[@juansoteroromero8740]

[@nicko7515]

That saxophone performance was so beautiful! 😭😭😭

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

He nailed it! I think he was playing Stronger by Kelly Clarkson.

[@tpalia3]

Hehe

[@mspalmboy]

This series is just brilliant and so easy to relate to. Thank you.

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Love hearing this. Thank you.

[@fancybartertown4163]

I love the way Ray talks about Dwight. Weird? Maybe - but never ever boring. 😁🏳️‍🌈

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Never boring is right!

[@everfiorentino]

My god! Ray is sooo endearing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

:-) Thank you

[@Terry-dl4nf]

I love Dwight's facial expressions when he's playing saxophone - very expressive - almost like he's ...... Mmmm and what's Ray up to - taking some pics for his portfolio - or Grindr?!

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Lol Ray is probably making another Instagram post...

[@ctctraininganddevelopment]

So beautiful, rich layered story; thank you

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Thank you! And thanks for watching :-)

[@sachindari6172]

I love to watch Trevor again and again, I think I like him. I am 25 self dependent artist, still struggling for a mature gay partner to get marry, but India is not recognising Gay marriages. So most of the people are doing one night stand which I really don’t like. (I love to watch this series, Thank you very much) Love from India

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Thanks for liking Trevor. Hopefully you'll find your man in India to love.

[@brianellson6454]

This is by far the best series i have watched in a long time get so excited when theres a new episode

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

That's so great to hear - thank you!

[@omardeveraux1418]

So cute! I love seeing the series. It's a nice pick me up/laugh/smile for the day. Very relatable to everyday life and enjoyable at the same time.

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Thank you!

[@richmoves]

Damn Rich... Smart, funny.. and hot!? It's an embarrassment of riches. I produced national TV commercials for 10 yrs and I was a light-man at The Saint for 7 yrs. I gotta say the writing, direction, editing and on-camera performances of these episodes are stellar! Keep keepin' on guys! 🎬🏳️‍🌈🧡

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Thank you, Richard!

[@Davholt66]

Love that Ray stood up for Dwight, was great! Interesting juxtaposition between the three friends and the "Rich" friends of Keith. Also weird issues on the friends going or not going, working or singing at the memorial, very tricky

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Thank you!

[@ethanzhang7229]

I thought handling the snake is about dealing with that 'executioner'

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

The title applies to a people and things in that episode :-))

...OK, can Ray just MARRY Dwight, already!?? ..ha-HAA!! ...Trev really is bringing 'Dwight' to LIFE; This is a different kind of May / December union, that balances each other out; It makes One ROOT for them...Trev & Rich CLEARLY have an intrinsic bond, that makes their LOVE for the characters, jump off the screen....Now, the OTHER characters.... (cont.) LINDA - ....'Emmylou' is a HOOT...$250 an Hour for Yoga teachers, & she's harpin' at Ray! (1:22) FRANCES - ...such a VIPER...we KNOW 'those types'.. "..he WANTED me to have it..." (4:29) GARY - ...HIS reality is getting closer, for him to handle.... he NEEDS to talk..... (6:00) JAMES - ...hilarious (8:06) , but I STILL want dramatic flourishes, to make us ROOT for him.... DWIGHT - ..adorably nerdy (2:05), but...who WOULDN'T want that, to come HOME to!? (1:31) ...Only TWO more Eps to go...yet, I want MORE....THAT'S the way, to do a Webseries...KUDOS, Rich...

[@thedisappointmentsseries]

Thank you! It's really great to hear how invested you are in the characters. Next week you'll get more of everything! And hopefully we'll get that season two going early next year. :-))

[@xadam2dudex]

Trevor LaPaglia is such a hottie

[@thedisappointmentsseries]
