QUEER AS FOLK {2nd. Season} (DVD Review) - 11/4/08

Totally blown away with the Second Season with just how excellent the writing is on this series. Showing just how shallow gay men are, how pointless relationships become, friendships disintegrate and romance blossoms. How generous the human spirit can be and how even an older gay man get's a happy few months of love, how HIV destroys lives, how vindictive & petty people can be and how much like real life people love and hate and generally fuck up in between the anal sex and blow-jobs, nipple sucking and fucking. Not only is the cast pitch perfect the characters get more defined this season and all the performances are so good it's hard to pick out any individual amongst the drag queens, lesbians and general homo-erotic background. Charging through 20 episodes on 5 discs the 6th. disc is packed to bursting with Special Features and that is really on eye-opener on many levels. I haven't watched a decent TV show for years and then along comes several at once - This being one of them!

Charting the continuing adventures of the lives and loves of a group of close friends in Pittsburgh where this soap is set - But better because it actually means something for once..
