Summary: NO WORDS!!!! JUST WONDERFULLLL!!!!
Review: This Second Season of "Queer as Folk" will be a hit when it will be released. I saw the trailers from the Queer as Folk's first season and it looked super interesting! I have the whole first season collection and I can not wait to have the second one... This is a serie where it is well discribed the gay world in one point of United Stätes (anyway it was filmed in Canadá), but very specified and all the desires, ambitions, sex, love, relationships, friendship and more of a group of gaymen living in Pittsburg USA. Anyway, the second season will be expected for many fans, the music from the first season was woderful and we expected in the second season the same.... I just hope that i will be a success!!!

Summary: Season 2 QAF
Review: I loved this season. More so than the first season. The characters were amazing and the actors did a fantastic job portraying them. I have never watched a show that I would classify a comedy/drama/whatever else you want to call it. Now mater how one tries not to like this show they can't help but love hte characters and the amount they have grown over such a short amount of time.

Summary: More of the same - I hope!
Review: Season 1 provided fascinating insight to a slice of gay life in Pittsburgh, PA. I enjoyed the DVD format and the "bonus" aspects and commentaries.
Season 2 was breathtaking in its continued exploration of these characters and I hope the Season 2 DVD includes similar "extras" offering additional insights.

Summary: Compelling..
Review: I used to have Showtime back in the early Oughts and I caught this show when it first premiered. I was floored. I was amazed at how it was both risk-taking and risque it was at the same time. But the more I watched it; the more I realized it was more about us as people than "tehhawtgaysex11!!" My hetero friends and family have a hard time with this show cause they are either intimidated by the explicit gay relationships or consider it softcore porn. My gay and bi friends had problems with it because they thought that it was an inaccurate portrayal of gay life. And "Will and Grace" is? But then, sadly, I lost Showtime and went for three years without my beloved QAF.
But recently, I rediscovered the show on DVD and I thought that it was nothing short of amazing. This show still packs the intensity and the brazeness that I had so loved before. The characters had grown by leaps and bounds and became more intriguing. I especially loved the inclusion of Ben, Ethan, Leda and George. I loved that also they tackled real issues such as recovering from gay bashing, being HIV+ and the general relationship problems that we all go through.
But there was still some downfalls. I hated how they handled the relationship with George. He was a very sweet old man and the way they handled it was downright crude. Also, why is it that on every show that features lesbians. They are the always the "Martha Stewart" lesbians who want to emulate traditional family structures. Why not have a pair of guys that do instead? And lastly, Justin! I hate Justin! I just do. Everytime I see him; I want to scream!
But overall, a compelling show that I believe is about all of us, gay or straight.

Summary: Don't miss this one - it's great!
Review: This groundbreaking series about a group of gay men living in Pittsburgh is great fun to watch. Don't confuse it with reality, since all the characters spend most of their time at the gym, at the local bar or having sex. Too bad reality can't be like this! Still it's enormously entertaining and extremely addictive. I don't know how it goes over with heterosexuals, but all of my gay friends and I love it.

Summary: SNORE.....
Review: This series is fun, but not really accurate. Yes, when one is in their early 20s, it's about dancing, going to clubs and everything else like that. It's that for all boys and girls.
After a while, you keep running into the same 45 people year after year, and it gets really old. You meet someone, fall in love, buy a house, get 5 dogs and there you have it...no more bars, clubs, dancing or anything else.
It's called "normal life."
This series touches upon it, but has a tendency to magnify the opposite.
It's okay, but not worth a billion dollars for 1000 hours of television watching.

Summary: Season Two of the Compelling Show
Review: "Queer As Folk" season two, which was aired 2001-2002, wonderfully continues where season one ended. This brilliant show, aired on Showtime, offers a broad range of subjects that many can relate to, not just GLBT. It explores HIV/AIDS, the aftermath of gay bashing, gay marriage, and many others. "Queer As Folk" has raised many eyebrows since its first episode aired in 2000. The amazing daringly provocative themes keeps audience watching closely to every episode and excited for the next episode. This is one of only few shows that explores issues that many unfortunately consider taboo. Before the beginning, only two other sitcoms have explored GLBT issues to this level of magnitude: "Ellen" and "Will And Grace". Taking this risk earns the cast and crew tremendous respect.Every episode was written uniquely wonderful, expressing powerdrama and humor in the perfect scenes. The series of events never lose their interesting theme. The realisms expressed give audiences the added shock value. Such great episodes offer a highly unforgettable entertainment experience. It explores Justin's brave recovery from his gay bashing incident from first season's season finale, Michael and Ted discovering their dream job, a relationship revolution between Mel and Lindsay, Emmitt finding fame, Brian slightly maturing, yet still being Brian, and much more. The chain of events lead to a compelling season finale that will surprise every viewer. The settings remain as spectacular as always. The nightclub Babylon continues to amaze audiences with its elaborate background, sexuality, and lighting. All other settings, including Babylon, widely express GLBT pride, expecially the diner. The decorations and the use of color wonderfully blend with the characters' personalities and interests. The creativity wonderfully separates the crew from other shows. "Queer As Folk" stars Gale Howard, Hal Sparks, Scott Lowell, Peter Paige, Randy Harrison, Michelle Clunie, Thea Gill, Sharon Gless, and Robert Gant. Gant is wondefully introduced in the mid-season. Every actor offers a unique sense of theme for the plot and within their character. The wide variety of personalities and habits keep every detail interesting. The acting has clearly improved compared to the first season, especially Sparks, Paige, and Gless. The bonus edition contains some interesting articles about the show's background. It includes the cast touring to various radio stations and gay pride parades, the construction and the secrets of Babylon, interviews with the cast, a short episode of "Queer Duck" (also on Showtime), a sneak peak of season three, and more. They show how "Queer As Folk" has come together as well as it did. The actors' expressed influences make audiences watch the show in a better way. "Queer As Folk" season two is sure to keep its audiences entertained for a long time. It remains one of the greatest GLBT pride shows on television. Those interesting in this edition must watch season one first. Otherwise, the events will be hard to fully understand.

Summary: Sex, Drugs, Clubs, and...Sex
Review: Is this really what gay life is all about? I think...once and a while Queer as Folk tends to focus a bit too much on the sexual side of gay life.
However...Season 2 is addictive! I plowed through all the DVDs included in this set in less than a week...I couldn't stop watching to see what would happen next!
The characters in Queer as Folk developed quickly - and do have a lot of substance...with the exception of Brian, who just wants to have non-stop fun, if you get my drift...(SEX SEX SEX)
I'm eager to get Season 3 to see what happens next.
This set is definately geared towards the gay community and girls who like gay boys! ; )
