Queer as Folk (British TV Series) Reviews
Not as good as the American QAF serie
The dialogs are almost the same, but the charaters are not as cute as in the american serie.
American version simply cannot compare...
I had grown tired of the US Queer as Folk series. Sure when it came out it was interesting and fresh, and now I realize the reason why--it basically transplanted lines from the UK series during its first season. After the first season I could no longer stand whiny Michael and ridiculously pathetic Brian (I don't see why he's hot).
Upon watching the UK version however, I was so blown away...so this was what the series was supposed to come across as! Interesting characters, actual death and loss (the death of Phil was a sad but realistic plot point), and Nathan (Justin) actually has a friend in school (WOW!) whom he talks to regularly about his issues! Another thing I couldn't stand about the US version was the annoying Debbie...my God, what a clown! Hazel (UK Debbie) was far more realistic, more maternal 'fag hag' than over-the-top crazy, radical-left mum. Yeah she parties, but at least she doesn't have crazy buttons on her shirt and act like a 12 year old kid in a 40 year old's body.
Vince was also a few notches above Michael as a character--slightly immature, yes, but also very realistic and adult-like (I could actually believe he was a store manager), unlike Michael who was just so pathetically whiny and immature that I felt like fast forwarding whenever he came on screen.
All in all, see the UK version that generated all the fanfare and controversy, you won't regret it!!
