Summary: Give Me More!
Review: Yes QAF is unique because it is a gay ensemble show but what really makes it unique is the intelligence, its wit and its' true to life form. As far as I am concerned QAF is a remedy to all the nighttime ensemble soaps that are and were on TV. It has a wit that only those sextarians on Friends could only dream of. There is none of the unrealistic pretentious dialogue that riddles Dawsons Creek (whose teenagers speak like PHD candidates). It has achieved the slice of life that Melrose Place originally aimed for but never achieved. It has an earthiness that Beveryly Hills 90210 could never reach for. QAF is one out of my 3 favorite shows currently on TV.I have to admit that season 2 was not quite as good as season 1. It seems as if for the first half of the season they tried to make it light (a la Friends). But most of the time I found that it fell very flat. I guess that the creators found that QAF- light was not working and they shifted back to being serious mid season.
Also this season was way too slow and drawn out. It lacked the frenetic pace of season one. And many of the storylines could have been summed up in two episodes. Namely Brian and Justin's relationship which did not have to take 20 episodes to come to its inevitable conclusion. But besides that I still love the way that QAF tackle the issues of life in a very realistic way. Not in a wishful thinking kind of way. But in a way that says this is life. Some of the highlights from this season.: Lindsay (let's all get along) finally standing up to her parents. I loved the way the scene was handled. Many other creators would have used the Bull in the China shop method by making Lindsay's reaction to her parents flippant. But instead you could really see that she was really torn up inside and that her heart was breaking. That scene showed me was no matter how old we become we all deep inside crave the approval of our parents. It's a feeling that never goes away. Another true to life episode was when Brian's company was being bought out and he was being given a week to show his new boss why he shouldn't be canned. Instead of having Brian tell off his new boss (which you would think fitting with his arrogant nature). Brian works hard to salvage his career. It goes to show that even Brian is practical enough to know that paying the bills comes far above personal ego. One of the things I adore about this show is the character Brian Kinney. Oh yes he can be a SOB but I just love his level of confidence. It is just simply amazing to watch him operate. Like it or not its' people like this with this level of confidence about them that make it to the top in the business world. There was another scene where Justin is saying some ugly things about his mother and Brian tells him to shut up. And that he should be grateful for having a mother who cares. This season there is a new romance for Michael. Played by an openly gay actor by the name of Robert Gant. Ironically there is very little chemistry between him and Hal Sparks (Michael). I really found Gants' acting to be flat and uninspiring,( I guess that it was no surprise to find out that he was originally a lawyer) Chris Potter's performance (David from Season 1) was much much better. Emmetts romance with an older man, was really beautiful. Emmette has often proved to be the comic relief of the show, but it was really sweet and delightful to watch him bring out a spark in this older man. Of course there was the wedding. Which could have been made into a political diatribe, but wasn't. It was just a beautiful ceremony between two people. One of the chief things I have envied about this show is the relationship between the seven principle characters. They are like a family and I don't think that this is all simply due to the fact that they are gay. Because of the way people move around we are often very far from our blood relatives and have to connect or make a new family with those around us. But in all I still think that QAF is far more superior show than most of what is out on TV. Thank you Cowlip productions for not going the cliched political correct way and making my TV viewing worth while!

Summary: Just Fabulous
Review: Seen season one? Then you won't be disappointed when you watch season two! Although it starts out slow and not so great it makes it up in the end. The whole gang is back. Sex, relations, Aids and a lot of other issues pass the revue. Off course you know that Justin "survives" his bashing, but will it make his relationship with Brian stronger? You know that Brian loves Justin, but will he admit it to the others, or even more important, to Justin? I'm not going to tell you. You will have to find out yourself. For me watching the show gave me sometimes a warm feeling. Sometimes it made me sad, and other times it made me laugh. It made me want to "be" in the show. I personally loved every episode of the show. I cherish my season one box-set and will do to with the second box-set.

Summary: Closer to Real Life than What You'd Want To Admit
Review: As a 42 year old who has been out for virtually 24 years I have experienced the hatred of high school jocks like the character Justin, the self-sexual animosity of Emmett, the first real security of that "fantasy father" that Michael finds with David, and, most destructively, the jaded corporate mutant so chillingly portrayed by Brian. I watch Queer As Folk at the local pub when it airs. It is a leveler, stratifying people along layers of emotional development. Yet, eventually the situations and emotions portrayed occur to all, either personally or through friends. This is Queer As Folk's unique sensitive gift to a sensitive audience. We are so fortunate that it is so damned intuitively written.

Summary: The beautiful people...
Review: Though, nothing will EVER touch the greatness that was season one, season two is a must-see continuation of the lives of the Liberty Avenue gang. The story lines, though less dramatic, were nevertheless thrilling. The acting, without a doubt, has improved where I once believe there was no room for improvement. Randy Harrison's performance alone, was enough to convince me that this cast must be the most tallented I've ever seen on television. After the season one finale, we were left wondering if Justin would survive the attack at his prom. If Michael would leave with David. If Blake would ever show up again. Season two picks up nearly two months later, with a returning Michael, a recovering Justin, and no Blake in sight. The season continues as Brian and Justin run the gambit of relationship woes, at least ONE of Michael's dreams comes true, Ted becomes a pimp-I mean porn king, and Emmett...well Emmett leads a charmed life for the most part. Another highlight is the return of Melanie and Lindsay, who become true staples of the group, as their story lines increase. If nothing else, it's worth it just to see the boys, in all their glory...again. :)

Summary: QAF Series 2 on DVD is the best!
Review: Queer as Folk is an unbeatable series featuring a group of immensely talented actors. Gale Harold and Randy Harrison light up the screens, complimented by the superb writers of Cowlip. QAF changed my life, and I highly recommend the second season as well as the first. The DVD set is of very good quality, and the material is outstanding. If you don't have it... get it, it is one of the best entertainment investments of our time.

Summary: Grows on Season One
Review: Season one was a great series but emphasized the physical side of Babylon. The second season, built upon and enlarged the concept to include the emotional side same sex relationships. I see this as real growth and hope to see more growth in III. I gave II four stars so I could give the xpected five stars to season III>>

Summary: At last!!
Review: This show is the best in its genre. At last we can see the life of the young gays in all the realities good and bad. To tell the truth: all the characters became the part of my life. It is a pity that David has disappeared from the series. Please, please expedite the releese of the second season!

Summary: First Rate Ensemble Cast
Review: This cast is the finest ensemble I've seen since the English "Are You Being Served." The writing is excellent and I find the episodes riveting. Although most of the characters are gay, they are portrayed as caring, human individuals.It is a "breath of fresh air" compared to other series with token, swishy gay boys. It is wonderful to see gay people portrayed as real, honest, human beings with interesting lives beyond sex. This was a bold move for the producers but this series was overdue and deserves to continue in a place of high regard with high ratings.This is a series that everyone should see. It is a buffer against homophobia.

Summary: QUEER AS FOLK Season 2 is almost as good as the first season
Review: QUEER AS FOLK is still one of the most amazing TV Shows ever and is a landmark as the show for the new millennium. This New Queer As Folk Season 2 DVD Box Set has all 20 episodes of the second season of one of the most controversial and bravest series on television today. The BOX SET includes Bonus features such as: behind the scenes outtakes, deleted scenes, special edition episodes, a Photo Gallery, DVD rom extras, and much more. Queer As Folk shows the life of a group of gay guys and a lesbian couple living in Pittsburgh. I feel the first season of QUEER AS FOLK is better, but this second season is very good as well and shows the growth of the characters. I have seen all 20 episodes of Season 2 and it is slower paced than the first season, and I sometimes find myself looking at my watch which rarely ever happened with season 1. I am still amazed at how honest this show is on dealing with gay life. Queer As Folk makes no apologies and thats what is so great about this series. From the graphic sex scenes to the drama of dealing with the prejudice that still haunts America, this show is so brave and I give Showtime a big thumbs up for having the balls to take on such a big risk as Queer As Folk. This show is as close as it gets to real life. This is not a show just for gay people, but for ALL people. It deals with human emotion and thats something we can all relate to whether we be straight, gay, bisexual, black, white, brown or in between. I have since signed up for Showtime just for this show. I encourage anyone who has a open mind and a open heart to BUY this amazing DVD collection as it will inspire you and if nothing else open your mind to a lifestyle not as uncommon as you may think. Watch more than one episode before you judge this amazing series. I will be in line when they release Season 2 of Queer As Folk on DVD.
