There seems to be a rash of these pseudo-documentaries making the rounds these days; but this new Sean Michaels series is the most marketable new one in a while. Big things are in store for retailers who jump on this interesting new sex series. Host/director Michaels takes the viewer on tours of, in the first case, "The Barrio" and in the second case, "Da Hood." Actually, Vol. 1 mostly takes place in Alicia Rio's house and Vol. 2 in Janet Jacme's apartment, with occasional excursions outside to an apartment store, or, in Alicia's case, riding in a car with Sean.

As far as the sex is concerned, each tape has the requisite five scenes. Alicia's two are the strongest in Vol. 1, but the slightly zaftig Tracy Prince rides Sean like an old pro — and don't miss the sequence with Tracy and newcomer Renee Emerald licking Cool Whip and strawberry preserves off of Alicia's ample chest. The highlight of Vol. 2 is Makayla Leigh, who gets plugged every which way (sorry, no anal) by Julian St. Jox, and has a stairway lesbo lick session with newcomer Paree — who dyes her pubic hair, and also has a scorcher with veteran F.M. Bradley.

While each tape has at least two above-average sex scenes, the framing idea is so transparent that it might as well be discarded. We suggest that Michaels do some real traveling here because with some production values added to the sex, Video Team and Michaels could be On the Road to some major profits.
