Summary: Best Drama On Television
Review: This is not just the best television series among gay tv shows, but it is also the best drama that has ever emerged on the small screen. This fantastic show is based on the British show with the same name. Queer As Folk is able to make you connect to the characters wether you are gay or straight and really get hooked. Although straight people can enjoy this, there are some very graphic sex scenes, but hey, I can watch Sex and the City, so...
Anyways I truly think that this will make a great collection to your dvd's especially if you are a Queer As Folk fan. This is really a break through in Queer TV.

Summary: Amazing
Review: I first heard of Queer as Folk in my local newspaper when Showtime first started airing it. The paper claimed it was a show that tries to hard to be something important but failed. So they added alot of eye candy and the most taboo thing of all male nudity to shock and grip the audence. Well, I am happy to say they could not have been more wrong!It took me four years to finally see the first season, since I do not get Showtime. This is one of the best shows I have seen. While everyone is praising 'Six Feet Under' for being new and fresh they are ignoring QAF. QAF is fresh and new and daring, and came before 'Six Feet Under'. Yes, I grant you it is a Gay Soap Opera, but it deals with what the gay community has to deal with. Yes, it is hard to be gay in a straight world. The Characters of Ted and Michael prove that. The only down fall in the show is that other then the mother figures of Debbie, played wonderfully by Sharon Gless, and Jennifer, Justin's mom, there are no straight people in minor roles. If you are looking for something new and fresh to watch this is it. QAF is well written and well acted. And once you get past the male nudity and shock value of the raw sex between the characters you will find one of the best shows on TV today.

Summary: A strong frame by frame copy of UK version
Review: This series starts with an almost frame-by-frame copy of the UK version, which by the way IS superior and hotter, to start with(it's hard not to compare, if you've seen them both). This is by no means as relentless, as explicit or as ful on. But slowly, you'll see that Queer As Folk, US, develops a life of its own, borrowing less and less from UK, injecting more and more of its own, becoming itself. And that is when it gets totally fun, and real. This ones takes a few episodes to get off the ground, to be honest, but once it does, you'll find yourself saying, "All Night, Full on, come on!". Except, the UK version has so many full frontal nudity, while this version, you'll find but glimpses. The UK's cocky lead, Stuart Alan Jones, is far more engaging and arrestingly ... than the US's lead. For those who's never seen the UK version, see this or all that it is. You'll love it, be you ... For those who have, give this a chance, eventually, by season 2, it's become more original. It's not examplary of what gay life should be, but hey, who knows what ... life should be? The diversification is what counts here, because THAT part is real.

Review: Loved it loved it loved it!
Being a chick of course the hard bodies are a bonus but apart from that the stories are excellent.
Looking forward to seeing the UK version (apparently better than this version according to the majority) but will they have cast anyone hotter than Gayle Howard??? I doubt it!

Review: For the first couple of episodes you REALLY notice all the naked men. After that, it becomes the background to the real show - the characters and their lives.

Summary: rubbish
Review: ok im not even old enough to buy this in the shops but i can tell you that this version of queer as folk is rubbish. queer as folk started on channel four in 1999. it was about three men living out their lives on canal street [in] manchester. it was exellent the acting was brilliant and best of all it was realistic the uk version is 1000 times better than the american queer as folk. first of all nathan is only 15 and it should have stayed that way. in the us version they didnt have the guts to put a young teenager having sex with a 29 year old on television so they made him 17. charlie hunnam who plays nathan is a far better actor then watshisnamey who is just eye candy in this really terrible story of gay life. the acting from the rest of the cast is ok but its just [bad] compared to the orignal show. if you havnt seen the uk version you can get the complete series 1 and 2 off amazon.co.uk its 1000 times better than the u.s version but season 2 lasts only 2 hours and you will be cyring by the end of it. still if you liked the u.s version youll love the uk version but thats just my opinion

Summary: A must have Classic Collection
Review: "Queer as Folk" must be one of the most daring series ever brought to TV in the United States (as it was in the UK for the original series). I admire the producers of the first season for their guts and willpower to bring this project to completion. The DVD is nothing short of a collector's item if only because this series is already a classic. The series, of course, are phenomenal. The first few episodes are based on the UK script, but the story was extended (and changed), for which we should be grateful. The US actors are enormously talented (this can not be said for some actors in the UK series), which makes the series all the more enjoyable to watch. Essentially, the story is a soap opera. It just happens to focus on gay people and it just happens to contain a lot of sex. Neither of which are bad, in my opinion. TV needs much more diversity - it is entertainment after all, and should be a reflection of life and all its glories. What is surprising (for US TV) is not that the sex is gay sex, but quite how explicitly it's shown. But that isn't the most important aspect. The characters are. Because the characters are captivating and real, a viewer gets hooked on them and the story. And this is the real value of the series. The DVD provides additional entertainment - apart the obvious capability for frame by frame replay (forgive me, I couldn't resist), it also has some extras on it. Hal (David) talks us through some scenes that were cut, and you get little interview clips of the actors, biographies of the characters and more. It's one of those things you can watch over and over again, without getting bored. Perfect for several rainy days or a long winter ....

Summary: LIFE ON LIBERTY AVE
Review: Addicted after watching the pilot episode, it did not take me long to cruise through the first season of
QUEER AS FOLK on DVD. Kudos to Showtime for airing this daring and provocative show following the lives of five gay men in Pittsburgh. It certainly takes guts in the midst of the Conservative Christian Front moving across the United States. Behind the frank sexual scenes real issues affecting the gay community are portrayed: gay bashing, drug abuse, outing, and AIDS just to name a few. Brian Kinney is a man you love to hate. Being a sexual predator and avid drug user he is all out for himself and has virtual no regards for others, yet he constantly has a following of devoted friends surrounding him. Justin is the high school baby fag who loves to thrust is sexuality in everyone's face while chasing after Brian. Micheal is Brian's best friend since high school and a comic book collector. Ted is an accountant who is low on self-esteem. Emmett is the flaming fashion diva who has enough self-worth for both Ted and himself. All five meet regularly at the gym/diner/Babylon to discuss their daily problems while cruising the gorgeous men around them. They are the epitome of gay male culture: anonymous sex and obsession with the perfect male body while drinking and using drugs. Although QUEER AS FOLK is revolutionary it's not perfect. Randy Harrison's (Justin) acting ability can be improved and Hall Sparks (Michael) does have a tendency to whine and complain. More disturbing, the constant battering of lesbians is very worrying and taxing. Each character pokes fun of lesbians but doesn't hesitate to rely on their help in dire times of need. No wonder many of my lesbian friends refuse to watch this show. Hopefully Showtime will redeem themselves in January when they begin airing THE L WORD.
