QUEER AS FOLK {5th. Season} (DVD Review) - 22/4/08

I shed more than a few tears with this fifth and final Season of "Queer As Folk". For 30 years or so they have been peddling a lot of TV series twaddle that had no substance or meaning to them and then along comes a 5-year slot of quality television that will be sadly missed. Horrific scenes during these last 13 episodes had me in floods of tears at the sheer injustice that people go through day by day and sadly the series ends on some pretty bitter-sweet notes; with not everything quite working out as a happy ending, more of wish fulfilment than anything else. Things change and so do the times - Let's hope another great show like this will grace our screens soon!

With the end in sight this 5-disc set has the 13 episodes of Season 5 on them with a chunky package of Special Features that more or less fill up the 5th. disc. A truly rousing ending to a fine show.
