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. Whatever one may think of the show's sexual content, QUEER AS FOLK is an undeniably compelling, funny, moving, and thought provoking series. [More]

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