Show Summary

Edit Summary »

Stuart Jones (Aidan Gillen) has got it all. He's rich, drop-dead gorgeous and always the centre of attention. He can be forgiven the arrogance because he's pretty close to perfection. His best mate Vince Tyler (Craig Kelly) is funny, adorable and definitely a babe but, unlike his friend, has zero confidence in... more »

    Interesting show. hide « show »

    I really loved this show. The writing from Russell T. Davies was great. All the tension between Stuart and Vince, and the other characters, was fantastically created through the writing and the cast's performance each episode. One issue, though this was completely personal, was the accents the actors had. I'm not completely familiar with British accents, coming from Australia and all, and I had to watch certain scenes several times to work out what they were saying. Also, the ending wasn't as satisfying as the rest of the series, but I loved it all the same. This, the original, was much better than the US version.
    P.S. Vince Tyler is the coolest gay character ever!

    Not as appreciated as such a fabulous programme should be. hide « show »

    I have just recently seen the programme but I loved all the characters in it. The show is so well put together that you can't help but find yourself longing for the characters to find their mr right, in whatever form he may take. Also, it is so good to see not the stereotypical portrayal of homosexuality. The show has every stereotype which can be related to by not only gay people but people of every orientation. I think that every person should see at least one episode of Queer as Folk as it is exactly the way that a drama series should be like!

    Stuart Allen Jones is handsome, streetwise, and oozing with sex appeal, and one of the key players on Canal Road. Vince is his best friend, down to earth yet in search of an unrequited love. Enter Nathan, confused teen, who turns their life upside down. hide « show »

    This is one of the best shows I've ever seen. This is the show that made me want to become a TV writer. The first episode literally explodes, and the series continues its phenominal pace throughout. The characters, the setting, even the background music was funky. And Stuart, well, wew! He's not the best looking guy on the earth, but boy, he has so much sex appeal it literally oozes out of the Tv like honey. And Vince is such a cutey. I watched the whole series in one sitting (I got it on DVD cuz it was a lil before my time. It's engaging, engrossing, and it will change your life forever. It's groundbreaking. It raised the bar for homosexuals on Tv, and shocked people into realizing homophobia is a problem. But it is also enjoyable, inspiring and exiting. Deffinately one to watch before you die.

    "The greatest love story never told", as one of the show's characters puts it. A beautifully written exploration of the fine line between friendship and love, and an uplifting celebration of unrequited love. The "queer" bit? Really, not the main issue. hide « show »

    This was the first show with which I became completely enamoured. A straight female, I fell in love both with the predatory Stuart's feline grace and the depth of emotion in the eyes of his long-suffering Vince. I hoped desperately for a fairytale ending. I lived with these characters, I laughed and I cried. Rarely, if ever, have I enjoyed a show this much.
