Queer as Folk - The Complete Second Season (Showtime) Reviews
Queer as Folk The Complete Second Season
This dvd captures your attention and makes you explore on the subject of being gay when things have gotten out of hand. When people are afraid to show their true feelings with words and resort to violence. One can also see the funny sides to each character that makes the show outstanding.
Moments in Season 2 surpass Season 1, but overall just as brilliant
Another year, another season of the fantastic show, Queer as Folk.This heartbreaking, funny, dramatic, and serious look at gay life in Pittsburgh among a small group of close friends steps it up emotionally and dramatically for season 2.
Where this show sparkles is in its dealing with life, love, relationships, drug addiction, the struggles of gay teens and coming out, sex, dating, and discrimination against gays and lesbians. In season 2 we see Ted become the Pittsburgh internet porn king(which still doesn't help his self-esteem) and begin to realize that his true love may be just standing their right in front of him the whole time, and it's not Michael. Emmitt is Ted's big star attraction on the site, and falls in love with a much older man, George, who teaches him about love's many forms. Justin longs for the romance Brian can't give him and falls for someone who can. Debbie deals with the unsolved and apparently uncared about death of a local boy, and meets a detective whose coarse exterior hides a kinder man. Michael falls in love with Ben, and has to deal with Ben being HIV+. Mel and Lindsay face discrimination from family in their search to wed, and love from their queer family to make the big day possible. And Brian...Brian continues his hedonistic, destructive ways, but Season 2 shows that the dismissive uncaring front is slowly cracking. His love for Justin is starting to break through, but he still can't act on it the way he needs to. Season 3 ends with an incident that may just break down the wall forever or rebuild it stronger.
The box set extras are quite good, lots of commentaries, character and actor bios, deleted scenes, and outtakes. The first season is a full 22 episodes, with great character development and dramatic arcs, and of course, enough eye candy for anyone. This series is worth every penny, and has now found a permanent place on my shelf. Showtime deserves recognition for being bold enough to produce the American version of this show and The L Word as well.
