• Favorite couple

  For me it's clearly BJ with Mikey and Ben on second. How about you? Sorry on account of Mel and Linds not making it in the poll:P If there was a 6th answer, they would be it.

  So, I finally saw the series finale. I've been anticipating yet dreading it. I knew what happened from reading reviews, but I had yet to experience it myself. I really wanted to see for myself how it always played out, but I was still hoping Brian and Justin would end up together and we could see it. We know that didn't happen on the show, but for us B/J fans, we know they eventually find their way back to each other. They have to. You can see in their goodbye how much they love and need each other. I mean, Brian is the one who urgently pulls Justin in for a kiss before they make love for the final time. And the look on Brian's face before they fall asleep and Justin is just gone. It breaks my heart. It shows us for the last time how much Brian really loves Justin and how much he got under his skin. Justin's love for Brian was never a question which is why I haven't commented on him. I know he will always love Brian and will make sure he ends up with him for life. And I'm seriously jealous of Brian and Michael's friendship. I wish I had a friend like that in my life. I mean after all they've been through, no matter what, they're still there for each other and you know they always will be. My heart started breaking from the very first scene cause I knew how the whole thing ended, but I really didn't start balling until Mel and Lyns said goodbye and Lyns and Brian had their moment. And then I couldn't stop until it was over. I don't know what it is about those 2, but they get to me. Maybe it's the depth of their friendship, too. I mean in ep 512, I cried because of 2 simple lines, "I don't want you to go Wendy", "I have to Peter". Anyway, this is about ep 513, and I know it ended the way it should, pretty much the way it began, but I still wish we could've seen a happy Brian and Justin wedding even if they had to go years into the future. LOL! Now I'll be watching everything over and over again to take in everything and find new things I didn't notice the first time around. I wish I could've watched it when it was originally aired, but I'm glad a friend introduced me to this series and that I got to see it. Everyone needs a little QAF in their life. less «

  My all time favorite show. A wonderful show about group of gay and lesbian friends living in Pittsburgh. QAF is addictive, groundbreaking, edgy and addictive. The characters and actors are amazing, the story-lines tackle all kinds of issues. hide « show »

  Queer As Folk is an important t.v. show. It was/is groundbreaking, being the first mainstream t.v. show to solely be about gay men and lesbians as main characters. The brutal honesty, the intimate and intense relationships between characters, the hard issues - hate crimes, HIV/AIDS, gay rights, politics, love, loss, you name it. If you think it's like the L Word. It's not. The L Word is like a soap opera. Queer as Folk has drama, but it's believable drama that's part of story lines. We follow Justin, a young gay man at a conservative high school coming out at age 17, michael who is a closeted 30 year old working at a large chain store struggling to balance his private life, emmett who is the stereotype of a flaming gay guy who you love, brian is a cool, confident player, if he was straight he'd be every guy's hero, his motto is "no regrets, no apologies", ted, the accountant who's slightly older and struggles with self-esteem issues, melanie a jewish lesbian lawyer and her partner lindsay a christian lesbian who works at an art gallery and their struggles with having children and raising them. Michael's AMAZING mother Debbie, who is "the mother of every gay boys dreams" as Brian puts it. She's proud and overly involved in her son's life but in a hysterical and sweet way. It's completely relevant and addictive and wonderful. It helped saved my life in high school.

  Queer as Folk is one of the best shows to air in a long time. It is based on a miniseries of the same name, which aired in Great Britain. hide « show »

  Queer as Folk is an original and groundbreaking series which follows the lives of five gay men and their two lesbian friends living in Pittsburg. Throughout the show, we are able to share in their loves, losses, joys, sorrows, and triumphs. In short, it depicts these characters in a down-to-earth and realistic light while showing the characters are nothing more than human. The writers also dealt with important issues such as AIDS, homophobia, cancer, and death. Unfortunately, the show did not last as long as most of us would have liked. It aired five seasons on Showtime and reruns can be currently seen on LOGO.

  Didn't end how I wanted it to... and I want them to bring it back and end it properly. It was the best thing in the world, and they shouldn't have cut it off... It was the greatest. I want it back and I want them to end it right. hide « show »

  This show had everything. The only problem that I had was that it didn't end the way I believed it should have. For Justin to wait five years and not get it all in the end was like a waste of talent and a waste of a show. While I say most of this in anger, I'll calm down to say it was the most brilliant piece of work that I've ever watched. Not only does it give hot man-on-man action, but it shows beautiful man-on-man love. It was just a shame that it died the way that it did.

  This is the best show I have ever seen. I am just sad that it only lasted 5 seasons. hide « show »

  I started watching this show because I had seen a documentary about the show on Vh1. I never watched it on Showtime because at the time I didn't even have Showtime, but I rented all five seasons. It is a very addicting show right from the get go. It moves fast, and is only an hour long at the most. If you want to watch something that will make you laugh and cry at the same time, this is the best show to watch. Never mind that the characters are gay the stories are universal and can relate to anyone.
