There is no fun in bigotry - [27 May 2008]
You have to be British to imagine such a soap opera, what do I say, A Coronation Street centered on gay people moved from the London East End to Manchester's Canal Street. But at a time when the Germans in Berlin are inaugurating a monument in honor of...

Queer as ever - [12 Oct 2004]
I loved it!!!! Simular to the American counterpart; different names etc. Stuart=Brian; Vince=Michael, Nathan=Justin. Stewart is much darker and sinister than Brian; even going as far as blowing up a car;(I loved that scene)and confronting his relative...

Nots as good as Series 1, but still rocks ! - [11 Jul 2002]
I bought the DVD and I know the series pretty well. Series 1 was really original at that time and somehow darker than its US counterpart. Series 2 is a kind of tale that aims at closing the series with a tacky but emotional twist.

Worth watching for QAF fans - [13 Jun 2002]
I thought this was an excellent follow up to the first series. Sure, it was a little outlandish at the end (the Thelma and Louise feel to it was amusing), but the characters are so endearing, complicated, sympathetic, and appealing that I still enjoyed...

I held my breath... - [10 Apr 2002]
I found myself holding my breath at times during this final part of the series. The story line is bold, quite disturbing at times, even alarming. It's not happily ever after. But I LOVED IT. I couldn't believe how exciting it was. It's not what you expect...

Not for us - [26 Mar 2002]
I have never seen the British version, but we liked the American "Queer as Folk". It was funny and real. Series 2 is a disappointment, the action seems contrived, and so do the characters. We couldn't believe a minute of it. If you are a fan of the American...

There's nowt as good as QAF - [19 Feb 2002]
This was truly a ground-breaking series. The frank portrayal of gay life (albeit controversial) set a precedent for the acceptance of gay people in more mainstream media. It paved the way for the American series, which is less artistic than the British...

I love this show!! - [14 Nov 2001]
I just started watching Queer as Folk a few months ago and I'm hooked. I think Gale Harold is one of the sexiest men I've ever seen. Hal Sparks is also a cutey and the guy who plays Emmett is adorable. This show is so choice. If you have the means I highly...

A Disappointing Follow-Up - [26 Oct 2001]
I loved the original Queer as Folk series. Great characters. Interesting plots. Terrific writing and performances. And, although Stuart was a truly reprehensible character, he was fascinating to watch and I believed him. On top of that, as someone who...

disappointing - [08 Oct 2001]
I have never seen the American version, but I loved the original British "Queer as Folk". It was funny and real. I didn't just believe in these characters, I felt like I knew them. Series 2 is more than a disappointment, it is almost a betrayal. It is...
