FAN RECAP

Fan Episode Reviews (3)

Noah's Arc is just what the doctor ordered for the landscape of American television. It is long-overdue, well-written and almost perfectly cast.

While in this earlier episode some of the acting seemed a bit at the test shoot level, the writing and way the episode was directed more than makes up for it. The casting seems on point, as well as the costuming for the show. I can already tell that one of my favorite actor's on the show will be Doug Spearman as "Chance." He has 'dittles' in his performances that give the nuances of the character nuances. Although a long shot, it would be cool to see if the Televsion Academy perhaps gives him a nod in the Best Comedy Supporting Actor category, as my performing arts club did recently where we went ahead and gave him the honor. The show seems to be pushed as a dramatic series, which I wish the producers would push it more as a comedy - because it plays more like 'Sex in the City' than 'Queer As Folk.' For a pilot episode, of this medium, covering this subject matter - this one goes in my book as An INSTANT CLASSIC. By the way - look out for Daryl Stephens - he is cute as a pin!moreless

Great start to a promising show! I wasn't expecting the show to be so witty and cute. I love watching the good-looking men have NORMAL relationship and life issues. I also think any red-blooded heterosexual female or homosexual male can't help but fall in lust with Wade. Ironically, this gay show has become a family show in my household. Noah's Arc has nicely filled in the void left by Queer As Folk.moreless

this show reminds me of a gay \"sex in the city\"! the show opening with 4 gay friends who all have there own identity, but have this special friendship in common is so deep to me. from the first time a friend told me to tune it, ive been watching every episode. i am not gay but, this show has to make it because it is so good and interesting and has lots of humor.i was a little confused of the opening of the show but i reviewed it and now im on track.moreless
