Queer As Folk: Season 1
Based on the hit British television series, the American version of "Queer as Folk" is set in Pittsburgh and follows the lives and loves of a group of gay men and lesbians as they negotiate their way in a world in which they're often relegated to the fringes. The seminal series about gay life in America raises touchy issues, pushes buttons, and became an instant hit.

Having enjoyed the original UK version of this series, I found the American version to be a scrubbed up, glamourized copy instead of a reworking of a good concept. I've been conflicted with this show from episode one, wondering if this is a series that the gay community is meant to relate to (I certainly don't) or is it merely a platform to create a fantasy world that straights will envy or be horrified with? The first season certainly exploits shock value to drive home the fact that gays are nothing more than people that live for sex. At least there are better storylines in the proceding seasons to look forward to.GR8 SHOW!! - BretsSweetie74
Hey.. I have to say as a completely hetro woman, I love this series... I have since the first show... I mean, its more than just sex... Its a story! I can totally relate to being a "FAG HAG"... I have family members that are "OUT"... Let me tell you, its a gr8 feeling to know that shows like these have helped many a Gay, Lesbian or Trans-sexual come out of the closet... AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!!

Always enjoyable to watch. Something like this examines the gay world for its greats and failiers and makes the viewer question many things. Taking the stereotypes the the extreme is the only way we can see for ourselves what is really out there in the world...
