I am one of the heterosexual women (from the US) who have been won over by this show. Maybe it's the handsome Stuart Jones, but I'm leaning towards a fantastic plot/story line and cast. Granted the show only ran for two seasons, but each and every single episode kept me entertained. I heard rave reviews about the US version, but never got around to watching it. When the UK version showed up on hulu, I figured I'd give it a shot. After watching the episodes on hulu in two sittings (couldn't stop, i was so curious as to what happened next), I watched the US version. Sad to say I was quite disappointed. The acting wasn't as believable in my opinion, and since the episodes were stretched out, I felt they had a lot of 'fluff' (where as the UK version they had to crunch everything in half the time, so less mulling around and with heavier acting). While I wish they would bring the British version back, the US version will give me my Queer as Folk fix. I already ordered the QAF (UK) DVD's ...
Forget the fact the characters were gay the episodes were just very well written. These seemingly simple characters were actually quite complex and extremely relatable (whether you be male, female, gay straight, what have you) and put in situations anyone could be in.
Never have I been so engrossed in a show...moreless
Show Summary
EDIT
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 himself. Since time began, Vince has carried a torch for Stuart but his love remains firmly unrequited. They're both 29, hitting Canal Street every night, stalwarts of the scene but just starting to wonder where else their lives may be going. Then along comes Nathan Maloney (Charlie Hunnam). Young, wild and coming out with a vengeance, he crowbars his way into their world and once he arrives, nothing is ever the same again.moreless
