Summary: Queer as Folk (Showtime version)
Review: QAF is an extremely well written series, presenting a cross section of urban American gay stereotypes. The characters are well developed, with exceptional depth. A leading character (who you are at first likely to despise) exhibits very subtle hints of a person with far more depth, early in the series. Watch for it - it's there in what he *doesn't* say. In a perfect world, this series would win top honors for cinematography: bedroom scenes, in particular, are stunningly beautiful. Nothing of the urban gay nightlife is left untouched, yet it is touched gracefully and with remarkable sensitivity. This adaptation (US) teaches several clear paths to self-respect as a gay person living in the USA.

Summary: Let's hear it for the boys
Review: Let me start off by saying I did not want to like the American version of 'Queer as Folk'. As an ardent fan of the original british series, I hated this Americanized carbon copy; without ever even seeing an episode. One episode halfway through the first season changed my opinion. I admit, I was [intruiged]... THe stories are compelling, the acting passable, and the boys are cute. ... QAF is one of those shows that helps you bond with friends. I spend my Sunday nights glued with friends in front of the telly watching and then discussing the episodes. I bought the first season DVD, and I have had a great time hosting 'Queer as Folk' nights at my home.

Summary: Outstanding! Probably one of the best shows ever broadcasted
Review: Finally a show that depicts gays and lesbians as real, vibrant human beings and not as stereotypes like the network TV shows have done in the past and continue to do today. By the 3rd episode I was hooked BIG TIME!! After the initial shock of the language, nudity and sex wore off I couldn't help but become emotionally attached to the show and every character. The hardest part of watching the DVD box set was watching the very last episode. I didn't want it to end.
The writers and producers of the show have done a great job in creating characters with depth that the viewer, whether gay or straight, can identify with on some level. It's a great show about PEOPLE who just happen to be gay or lesbian. They have families, jobs, homes, responsibilites, problems, loves, flaws and feelings just like everyone else. I hope season 2 comes to DVD soon. I can hardly wait.

Summary: If Your In The UK And Thinking Of Buying This - DO IT !!
Review: As a guy living in the UK who loved both QAF 1 & 2 I thought long and hard about spending £70 on the US series. But I did and I am very glad I did. The boxset is really well put together and well presented. The series takes the main shell of the UK storylines and plots and goes into detail and adds lots of subplots to make a really good adaptation of something I thought would never translate well. Well worth the ££'s and the time it takes to watch from start to finish.

Summary: One of the best tv shows I've seen yet
Review: To put it short, because I could go on and on all day about how much I love this show, you have got to get this DVD! The show is absolutely fantastic. I watched one episode on tv one night for the heck of it, and it sucked me right in. It's got everything in it; hot guys, humor, good storylines, sex and at times a bit of romance. I recommend this to anybody that's thinking about buying it. You won't regret it.

Summary: A Good Gay Soft Porn
Review: Thanks for the VCR remote to skip through the boring parts of the show. I watched the whole season and I found only 15 percent of it worth watching. I gave "Queer as Folks" 3 stars because I was aroused when the show became really interesting. Brian looked very good and so did Justin. But I found the sex scene between Justin and Chris to be the sexiest.

Summary: Best Show on TV
Review: I didn't want to watch this show, because I didn't see what I would get out of a show about a bunch of thirty year old gay men (being a 21 year old straight woman). However, my roommate got me started, and now I'm hooked. The characters on this show are so believable and interesting. I would probably hang out with some of them. The relationships are honest and not made to seem like fairy tale loves. Also, this show deals with real issues common to the gay community, like AIDS, hate crimes, and same sex marriage. I recently bought the DVD set, and i reccomend it to any fan. It has all of the episodes and the special episodes in addition to a couple of extras like a bloopers reel. The only thing on the entire DVD I dislike is Hal Sparks' dialog during the bloopers reel. This guy does stand up? Wow, cause he's NOT funny. But hey, it's overall a great set and well worth the exorbient ammount of money we shelled out for it.

Summary: Groundbreaking Series, Part 2 (British Series being Part 1)
Review: It is very hard to decide which version of Queer as Folk I like best the American or the British. I watched the British version first and absolutely loved it but was sad that it ended so quickly. Now I have the first season of the American series, which took the scripts of the British series and adapted them to fit a series that is a long time continuing drama. (For those of you who love the American version and have not seen the British version I highly, highly recommend buying and watching it.) It was really interesting to see all the changes they made to the British scripts in the American version. Like the Phil/Ted character who dies in the British version survives the drug overdose in the American version. I really liked that change. In fact I have to say that I liked almost all of the changes that the American version made. Like the fact that the Stuart/Brian character has a more long-term relationship with the Nathan/Justin character. In my opinion Brian's on going relationship with Justin makes him much more likable than his British counterpart Stuart. I also like the fact that the Vince/Michael character's relationship with Cameron/David character lasts much much longer in the American version and also has Michael actually moving in with David. When I really think about it I have to say I like the American version better mainly because it doesn't end. Because of this it gave the writers of the American series time to fully develop the story lines that ended so abruptly in the British version.
