Summary: Real gay stories for every lived-and-done
Review: This adapted American TV series was hot for a short while in my country's pirated video-CD scene early last year. After all, the latest gossip show available for we local PLU (PEOPLE like us) is still SEX & THE CITY Season 5 at this stage - only if you're slightly better off with a satalite TV to impress "visitors" late night!Well, I don't have one that's why I need to bought the DVD :-) I'd finished this and am now on disc 3 of Season 2... YES the show is QUEER indeed AS you FOLK may, whether you're gay or straight. It is a celebrated show dedicated to all the homo living proof and been-there-done-it everywhere in this world. Whether you kiss our feet or diss our face, you look around and see or hear the same stories, more or less in life of a different colour or culture background. Brian (Gale Harold) is the only sexy, rich and vain "top" promiscuously dominating character of the quartet gang. Michael (Hal Sparks) is the best friend since high school, sensitive and a comics freak with an inferiosity complex. Emmett (Peter Paige) is the proudest, outest member of the group, done-it-all flamboyant and drama princess. Ted (Scott Lowett) is a professional decent accountant but a looser in sex life. Linsay (Thea Gill) mothers childhood pal Brian's baby and refuse to live under shadow with her Jewish lover and "hubby" Melanie (Michelle Clunie). I am a mixed of Michael and Emmett and Ted so I can fully understand what the shows has got to offer and mean for PLU in this new millennium of TV shows. Well done and cheers to SHOWTIME!

Summary: My favorite show of all time
Review: Screw the gay stereotypes, this show comes more close to realistic than anything else on TV dealing with the gay community. From AIDs to self-denial, this season covers alot of what gays go through in their lives. I think there's a character here for everyone to relate to, although I find that I can relate to a little bit of every character. Not only is the show dramatic & can make you cry, it's so halarious. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm a QAF addict. In my free time, when I come home late at night, I watch Queer As Folk. It's relaxing & entertaining & the cast is amazing. Sharon Gless adds so much fun to the show as big-hearted Debbie. I love these DVDs. The special commentary episodes are amazing & it's fun to learn about the making of the show. The other features are nice bonuses too, although I love just being able to watch this great show whenever I want. I love it, period. I don't see how anyone couldn't love this show, especially the gay community. After watching a few episodes, I gaurentee you will be addicted. So buy this...and never stop watching it.

Summary: Gary Palmer said it all
Review: Review by Lyn Carr, Denver, Colorado. USA Loved the Queer as Folks DVD set, and the hours of extra goodies on number six. What more is there to say about this series, slick or not. It's great and so are the DVD's, especially the inclusion of what the music is and who did it on each disc. Gary Palmer, a reviewer, said, "This episode,(first season finale) more than any other, amounts to a near-perfect combination of music, character development and dramatic action, and is without question the most heartbreaking hour of television this reviewer has ever seen." Ditto, my man, ditto. What leads up to it is a must see This set is a keeper!!!

Summary: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Review: I love this show! I love all the characters and I especially love Brian and Justin. The story lines in this series are great! I am a great fan of Six Feet Under and could never think that any other show could be as good, but I think it has been surpassed by Queer as Folk! The great thing about this show is that you don't have to be gay in order to understand all of it. All the things happening to these characters are things that happen in every relationship regardless of gender. That's what TV needs! Something that can apply to everyone but at the same time open the eyes of people who are ignorant when it comes to the differences of others. If you are reading this for advice about whether or not to watch or buy....DO IT! After the very first episode you are hooked! I was!

Summary: This is such a great show!
Review: The first episode surprised me by how open it was, how much they showed, and I would have been turned off by it except for the great writing and cast. Now, I'm hooked and can't wait to see the second season.

Summary: Simply sublime...
Review: There is hardly any TV show - gay or straight - that is so hilariously funny, yet at the same time so realistic in its portrayal of the gay community. Do I mean realistic as presenting four average gays as protagonists?.. certainly not. But it captures the vibe and the capitalizes on the the issues that stir the gay community. Plus: The impeccable dramatic buildup that encompasses the whole season far surpasses "fast food" television like Friends, Smallville and the others (though Tom Welling is a feast for the eye ;-).

Summary: Great Acting / So-so Writing
Review: I have to admit having a love-hate relationship with this series. Yes, it's brave and a fresh perspective on urban singles. But the writing disappoints me most of the time. With Richard Kramer as head writer I expect the quality of drama he brought to his "thirtysomething" and "My So-Called Life" episodes. But if you're going to compare this to an 80's show - this is a lot closer to Dallas than the finely observed characters in Kramer's previous series. Still, the acting is consistently excellent. Gale Harold never falters in layering Brian with intelligence, love, and sexual mystique. Hal Sparks, formerly a talk show host / comedian, is vulnerable and passionate as Michael, often revealing more of the character in his eyes than is found in the dialog. You want to like these people and find out what happens to them. But, time and again the writing falls back on clichés, good guys and bad guys, and telegraphs a "lesson" with each episode. I want this to be as good as HBO's "Six Feet Under", but alas, the writing just isn't there. Still, I watch. Hoping.

Summary: Surprisingly Good
Review: I watched the pilot episode on television, didn't care for it, and then forgot all about this series until this year, when I was amazed at the depth in the writing and acting. So...I bought the first season. What a roller-coaster ride! You can tell these actors (and writers) are trying to define themselves through all the changes, crises, and relationships.
The storyline involving Michael and Dr. David was so compelling, romantic and realistic. You could tell the producers realized they had a winner with Chris Potter (David)- extending the stay of a seemingly two episode character into a whole season. He just "electrified" each scene he walked into. It broke my heart to watch his and Michael's relationship progress, knowing it couldn't possibly work out. They need to find a way to bring that guy back! Sharon Gless brings so much joy into a series that can be so dark. She plays over-the-top with authenticity and grace.
