Episode #1.1
Sun, May 14, 202346 mins
Arriving at the sun-drenched masseria, each of the ten boys meet for the first time the one with who he has been paired based on predicted compatibility, each who will give their match a kiss before a word is even spoken. As such, each will have an impression of the other solely based on looks and that kiss. It may be difficult for one in having nothing to compare the kiss to in admitting this will be his first romantic encounter ever, never even having kissed a boy before. After those initial encounters, the boys will not only begin the process of getting to know their match, but getting to meet and know all the other boys at the masseria, all who are potential matches, which may be a difficult situation in being the other man in breaking up an existing pair who may have had that chemistry. As the boys express what Pride means to each of them, they may experience the feeling of their first ever Pride in having even more opportunity than they expected.

As the ten boys believed there would only be the ten of them for the duration, the arrival of Mikey into the masseria shakes things up, especially for those couples whose commitment to each other is on shaky ground. The other side of the coin is Mikey himself who has to choose in who he is most interested. The others who do not see Mikey either as a threat or of interest to themselves move onto the stage of getting to know the boy with who he has been partnered. But beyond those romantic connections, the boys start to form friendships, some others outside of their respective partnership who become confidantes. The romantic issue become all the more important to all eleven of them when they first hear the phrase "kiss-off" and what the implications of the kiss-off are to each of them. Mikey seems to have the upper hand in this situation in needing to choose two boys specifically with who to go on dates. In combination, the attention paid to him in return may provide some clues who his possible kissees would be at the kiss-off. The other question mark is Josh who is going through his own personal issues in only having recently come out.

At the first kiss-off, Mikey makes his decision of which boy he wants to kiss of the two who have expressed interest in kissing him back, leaving the one unkissed out in the cold in having to leave the masseria. The ten remaining boys reflect on the kiss-off in terms of their emotions at the time, the future with the boy each kissed, the future of the other four couples, and whether the collective should no longer treat the masseria like a proverbial candy store. They will each further see how connected they are when they take a chemistry test, the last question meant to provoke as it leads to some tension within the masseria and ends up truly challenging some relationships regardless of the kiss-off. These question marks become all the more important in the lead up to the second kiss-off which will have three additional factors thrown in.

In the lead up to the second kiss-off, the arrival of Ceejay, Dan and Vitor into the masseria opens the candy store mentality once again, most specifically for those who have recently called their partnership in the masseria off. What some of the new boys and the ones no longer in a couple will have to decide is if their initial sexual attraction can overcome what are perceived to be personality incompatibilities. They will all get to test some of these issues out at their first social gathering: "queerchella". But with it being an open market as opposed to the initial matches made for them which some at the masseria have only experienced up to this point, most feel they have to make their feelings known quickly or risk losing out on who they fancy. And one makes a unilateral decision about his time at the masseria.

At the second kiss-off, the general consensus is that some couples who have officially stated their break-up, will not turn to kiss his respective boy. In addition, some matches seem to have formed between one in those couples and one of the new boys. The biggest questions seem to rest with Dan, who has made matches with two of the boys, and whether some of those new matches are strong enough at this stage at least to give the other a kiss at the kiss-off. But after the kiss-off with new couples indeed having been formed, the honeymoon period for one is seemingly over even before to begins, which is only exacerbated by the second chemistry test and which ends up polarizing the masseria.

The issues concerning Ben and Vitor that have openly divided the masseria at the latest group dinner is ratcheted up a notch with Dannii increasing the inventory at the proverbial candy store with the arrival onto the scene of Jake W and Matty, who immediately get to pick someone with who to go on a date right then and there. That act may diffuse the tension if only temporarily, but also cause some panic by the "other half" of each boy chosen for the dates. Regardless, each boy will have to focus on what he wants leading up to the imminent third kiss-off, which, as Dannii states, is a stage at their time in the masseria not for fake love.

After a dramatic second half of the penultimate kiss-off is revealed, the atmosphere in the masseria seems to have switched from a tense to a more charged one in a sexual manner. That electricity is only heightened with the sexual innuendo involved in the latest chemistry test, which at its core is all about communication. As the boys' time at the masseria nears its end, they begin to talk about life after the masseria, one decision they make a reward for one couple somewhat based on who they see making it in the long run. But in a masseria of give and take, Dannii in turn informs them that they will have to make a further decision to take away.

Episode #1.8
46 mins
The boys have arguably the two biggest decisions in this, their summer of love, as their time at the masseria nears its end. The first is to name the couple they believe will have the least chance of making it on the outside, they who will be leaving the masseria immediately. The internal discussions within couples on this first question may have an effect on the second: whether they will turn to kiss their boy at the final kiss-off, a kiss in this instance a declaration that they will try to continue their relationship on the outside. Having their respective family and friends in attendance as touchstone to that outside world may also affect that decision.

The Reunion
Sat, Jun 15, 202443 mins
Dannii brings all sixteen of the boys back together for a reunion eight months after the final kiss-off, the last that the public would have seen of them. She talks to them about highlights of the show i.e. what was presented of their lives at the masseria, both in what happened at the time and their feelings about those issues now. Some burning questions about the show, such as "what exactly is a masseria?" are answered, and fans of the show talk about what watching the boys live openly as loving gay men means to them. But what Dannii and arguably the viewers most want to know is what has happened to them in the intervening eight months, both individually and most importantly as couples, especially the four couples who kissed at the final kiss-off which was a declaration to try to make their respective relationships work outside of the masseria.
