phinithlouise This show really showed me a new world to the LGBT community.I am hetero but i love gays movies and series i usually hide my liking to gay movies and book but this really changed me now i know that i don't have to feel ashamed because i like gays stories.And it made me want to support gay community help them realize that there is nothing to be ashamed of liking the same sex .And to stop gay crimes like the part when Justin got his head bashed because he is gay or that they have to hide who they are because they are afraid to be hated or lose their rights .I met someone who is gay and he told me that he was glad that i accepted him as who he is and that he hasn't seen a lot of people accepting as who he is

gailknickerbocker I have watched all 83 episodes more than once. The lines in this are worth hearing. The Stories are deeply touching. The personalities of the characters is true to my life each in their own way. I wish this show was still being produced. Hoping for a Season 6 or a reunion movie someday. I was so moved by this show that I found a way to meet several of the actors in it and tell them that I appreciate their willingness to make this a reality and to use their acting ability to produce the feel that it is actually happening in the moment.This show addresses issues that the gay community dealt with in the early 2000s. So much has changed since then for the good but gay people are still beat up, drugged out, rejected by parents and schools,and rejected by society and religion. Brother and sister relationships and Parent child relationships were dealt with. Teachers and students, students and students were all related in this show. Enduring friendships were the deepest issue addressed. How they did friendships; what they were willing to do for one another, how much they loved and cared for and stood by their friends was the most meaningful part for everyone.

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.
