Queer As Folk Audience Reviews

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
shalsea Even if i would have loved the show being a excellent LGBT portrait, let's admit first that it's only a gay show.From this point, it is not lying to say that Queer as Folk US gives us an entry to the single life of gay people, shallow and superficial. At first, this was not convincing to me but after a few episodes, i got attached to characters.Then it became clear that all behaviors get some kind of explanations at some point, letting us the choice to believe the characters' intentions and allowing us to relate in a better way to them.The last two seasons go deeper by showing more "serious" issues gay encounter in their life. And i have to admit that this change was for the better.Watching this show now and in a week, knowing all the changes (apps for example) in the gay life, the problems and joys you find in it, you may experience for real. This is why i love this show : because it's accurate at many points.
brycepielage This is 1 of 5 TV shows that I have watched the entirety of. I think I liked queer as folk for how blatant it is. It's a unflinching view of a "gay lifestyle". The characters are fantastic, in the beginning they tend to teeter on stereotypes, but when it comes down to it, they are brave, strong, honest and trustworthy people. The connection I felt with the characters was so strong and in particular, Brian Kinney. I think his character was the best acted out of all of them. The storyline of the show is great and they addresses topics from politics to health issues. It's a powerful TV show that asks questions with the courage to decipher them head on. I highly recommend watching it.
Sandwiches McGee From the first episode this show had my attention. Even though the music is different, I am thankful that it streams on Netflix. I could not watch just one at a time. It holds intriguing characters, captivating love stories, and bold story lines. Some issues being brought up were real eye- openers to straight people. I have never felt this way about a TV show before. Nor have I ever binge watched a TV show so vigorously. I recommend this to everyone. It is not to be missed. I am hoping they end up filming a reunion. I would like to see what they would do with these characters 10 years later, and with all the changes (positive, and negative) within the LGBT community. Do yourself a favor, and watch Queer as Folk.
aaronlromano Queer as Folk bears distinction for a variety of reasons. The show as a whole is incredibly charming and wonderfully acted with characters that are not to be forgotten. It is emotional, tragic at moments, and centers on one of the few couples I have ever found myself desperately wanting to see persevere and last it out. It's a pretty good depiction of gay life as well, with it's variety of facets represented. One of the characters that deserves the most applause is that of Justin who starts out as and immature child but whom grows into one of the most fantastically developed characters of the series and proves himself ultimately to be a hero and probably television's first out and proud teen role model. It's a damn good show but also it's an important show and in reality, one of a kind. The only problem I had with it is that it made me cry too much, but really that's a good thing too. And yes...it's very hot and that certainly counts for something.
