Webserija iz radionice LOGO tv kuće, a koji je producirao Jimmy Lee u saradnji sa Tourisme Montréal.  
Serija ima priču koja je večini nas poznata, ali uvijek je nekako drugačija.
Stéphane (Francis Ducharme), zgodan i uspješan arhitekta iz Montreala preko interneta upoznaje  zgodnjikavog i lepršavog momka iz New Yorka po imenu Hugh (Matthew Ludwinski).
Nakon svadje sa svojim ex momkom (Matt) impulsivno poziva Hugha da ga posjeti u Montreal.
Nekoliko dana kasnije potpuno neočekivano dobija poruku od Hugha da je stigao u njegov grad.
Stéphane  koji je tek izašao iz veze potrudi se da bude dobar domaćin.

Seriju je lako odgledati jer ima 6 kratkih epizoda koje sve zajedno traju oko 25 minuta.
Mene je podsjetilo na jednog momka kojeg sam upoznao preko interneta. Dosta dugo smo se dopisivali i na kraju odlučimo da se upoznamo. Da ne bi bilo ni kod mene ni kod njega našli smo se na Paliću kod Subotice i nakon toga otišli u Segedin gdje smo proveli nezaboravan vikend. Išli po restoranima, šetali p gradu, noćnim klubovima, seksali se do iznemoglosti u iznajmljenom apartmanu, pričali o sebi i onome šta volimo, pa čak i o stvarima koje ljudi obično zadrže za sebe.
Nakon toga je došao dan kada se moramo razdvojiti i vratiti se svojim ranijim životima.

Ostane tako neka gorčina sa gomilom pitanja na koje nemamo odgovore, ali i sjećanje na tamo nekog za koga definitivno možemo reći da je ona srodna duša koju nismo mogli zadržati za sebe.

Created by Logo and producer Jimmy Lee in partnership with Tourisme Montréal, the six-part series takes place over a weekend in the life of Montreal native Stéphane, (actor Francis Ducharme). He’s a handsome young architect with a bright career and a rich social life, although he hasn’t quite gotten over his ex, Matt (Nico Racicot). But things are looking up. He’s met a sexy New Yorker named Hugh (Matthew Ludwinski) online and Hugh is coming to Montreal for an unexpected weekend visit.

You might recognize Ludwinski as the star of Going Down in La-La Land. The adorable French Canadian Ducharme may be less well known to TheBacklot readers, but trust us, he’s definitely worth googling!

One of the aims of this project is to promote travel to Montreal, and it’s true the gorgeous city figures prominently in the web series. But we don’t think that gets in the way of a beautifully shot, intimate story of two gay men tentatively negotiating the beginning of a relationship. Check out the first two episodes below. We’ll be posting additional installments of Montreal Boy: Some Strings Attached each Monday afternoon for the next several weeks.
