Queer as Folk - The Complete First Season (2000)

My Rating

Movie Info

Based on the British television series of the same name that became a sensation abroad, Showtime's QUEER AS FOLK quickly became as big a hit in the US as the original was overseas. Focusing on the lives of three gay men (Michael, an insecure 29 year-old, Brian, an ad executive who isn't into relationships, and Justin, a wide-eyed and innocent 17 year old) and their circle of friends, the series has earned both critical praise and scorn for its unflinching look at gay life, love, and sex.

Unrated, 13 hr. 20 min.

The first time the US series veers from the source material ... it shifts from drama to melodrama and never really escapes from that category.

Doesn't pull any punches as it deals with the lives of young urban gay men

Even though I'm an outsider to the world depicted I see a lot of different qualities in the characters: Strength, weakness, bravery, cowardice, greed, apathy, generosity. Gee, it sounds kinda like real life.

More instructive to discuss the ugliness of popular opinion in the US that makes a cause célčbre of a randy prime time soap opera with gay characters.
