Movie Reviews of Queer as Folk Pack (Seasons 1, 2 & 3)Movie Review: No Holds Barred, QAF is Genius! Summary: 5 StarsThis show is amazingly outstanding. It's definitely "in-your-face" and not for the weak-of-heart or close-minded. It's a series based on the queer community living in Pittsburgh mixed with humor, emotion, and enough eye candy that would make even Wonka's Oompa Loompa's hard. The actors on this show are completely amazing. Each one of them is superbly cast for the roles they take on. Two of my favorite actors on the show are actually both females. Michelle Clunie, who plays a lesbian lawyer (in a 8-year relationship with her partner, Lindsay) outstandingly. And the second, Sharon Gless, the heterosexual mother who can be seen as wanting to be a gay man herself. The show makes no apologies (most notably in Brian Kinney played by Gale Harold) to anyone for the contents of the show and its portrayal of gay life.
SEASON ONE:
This season lays all the groundwork for the seasons to follow. It doesn't truly explain where the characters came from but it does enough that you can guess, and you'd guess correctly. The bonus materials are truly awesome to watch and these episodes are much more than a "one time" view. Each are so good in their own right that you'll keep watching them over and over again. The show is based around 8 people, four queers, two dykes, and a partridge in a pear tree...I mean, and a loving mother.
So, that's Michael (shy, coy, boy-next-door type who has an insatiable crush on his best friend, Brian), Brian (no regrets, no remorse, no emotion club boy who sleeps around with everyone because, well, everyone wants to sleep with him), Ted (the depressed-Eeyore-type of the group who's always feeling sorry for himself; also the oldest of the group), and Emmett (the flamboyant and proud queen). There's also Melanie and Lindsay (two loveable lesbians who've been together since before the internet was invented) and Debbie (Michael's mother who works at the Liberty Diner where everyone eats, a proud and loud mother of a gay son and gay brother). Lastly, there's Justin, Brian's one-night-stand who just so happens to be a minor and a virgin who latches on to him like a leech. But Justin knows how to work Brian and soon the pair become, well, a pair (though Brian will forever deny it).
SEASON TWO:
After Justin's bashing in last season's finale, a lot has changed. Brian has to cope with the fact that he's actually having some emotions for Justin, while Justin has to cope with the fact that he may never be able to draw again. After leaving everyone to go live with Dr. David, Michael breaks things off and has to come back to Pittsburgh feeling left out and in last place. Everyone's moved on with their lives and Michael seems he's been left behind. The rest, I'll leave for you to watch the show...
SEASON THREE:
The first of the last seasons to feature almost half of the episodes of what the prior seasons had this season featured the continuance of Brian and Justin's "break up" and "make up," Ben and Michael's love story, Ted and Emmett's romance, and much more.
