Movie Reviews of Queer as Folk - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: One of the BEST series ever created!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this show while channel surfing, just a few months ago on a censored station. I had heard of this show before, but did not have premium cable, so I was unable to watch when it hit the screen originally. I absolutely fell in love with it with just one episode, I would tape and watch faithfully. I was determined to get the DVD version, so that I could see it uncut and in it's original form. The first season is very near and dear to my heart, probably the best of the series!! The show was casted perfectly, you will fall in love with each and every character. Yes, it contains a lot of sex, drugs, and language, but it's also full of loving relationships, fun, humor,intelligence, brilliance, and warmth that will make it very difficult to tear yourself away from it. I'm a 40yo straight woman who would love to be a part of these queer as folk!
Summary of Queer as Folk - The Complete First Season
They're here, they're queer, and they make Sex and the City look like a demure tea party. Showtime's quintessentially American Queer As Folk--based on the British miniseries--pours on copious amounts of hot and steamy sex. This slick (and slickly entertaining) series shares the same basic concept as its British counterpart--centering on a group of gay friends living in a primarily industrial city--but after that, all bets are off. Whereas the British version focused on the gritty, realistic drama of its characters, the American QAF is a glossy, fun soap opera that occasionally tackles big issues but never lets you forget that life at times can be a party, and you shouldn't be one of those poor suckers starving to death. A good part of the show's charm lies in its cast--boy-next-door Michael (Hal Sparks), ruthlessly seductive rake Brian (Gale Harold), out-and-proud Emmett (Peter Paige), wallflower Ted (Scott Lowell), and nubile teen Justin (Randy Harrison)--who grew from standard gay prototypes to intriguing characters by the first season's end. And while some subplots didn't work (such as Emmett's farfetched foray into gay-conversion therapy), others were quietly affecting, including Brian's coping with his father's death. Some may object to the show's relentless fixation on sex (and gay men--there are just two lesbian characters), but this is a series that in its own polished way is both engrossingly fun and truly groundbreaking. It's liberating to watch an American TV series in which the straight world is only peripheral. Let's hear it for the boys! --Mark EnglehartDrama DVD Video
