Just got the DVD last week. Queer as Folk is a seminal TV event from the BBC who's quirky and daring productions now legendary in the US include: "Monty Python's Flying Circus," "Up Stairs, Down Stairs," "The Vicar of Dibley," and "The Office" to but barely scratch the surface. And like so many other BBC originals, "Queer as Folk" spawned a copy-cat series here. But there's nothing like the original.
And there's nothing like "Queer as Folk" before in the history of TV productions! To watch a man rim another man without the tricks of artiface or inuendo--nothing up my sleeve! was utterly mind-boggling the first time around.
This is the third time I've seen the first series, and it's just as amazing a set of characters, circumstances, events....the joys of discovery the sorrows of fate's tragic side...this is just damn good story telling. Kudus to the BBC and all involved.
