Lets go piss off some heterosexuals
Sadly this season had only 14 episodes. But it was still great, with nice humor. I think that season 3 is my favorite one. Sure there is not too much story in this show, but hey.
Oh and the dvd box is awesome, too. Nice bonus material. But same problem here - I couldn't watch every episode. Well I could, but when it came to the last few minutes (maybe 10) I wasn't able to watch the rest of the episode. That sucks!
Great show but bad dvd's.
This is the series I love to hate ...
It's funny how people review the season and not the DVDs. I don't have Showtime, so I've experienced QAF for the past three years only on DVD. The experience is MUCH different this way. I know that I wouldn't have the patience to watch it episode by episode on a weekly basis, I'd lose interest because QAF is annoying to watch and the characters are too extreme. I wish Debbie would shut the f*ck up.
What I love about QAF is this: the writers are brilliant and their minds project from the first to the final episode. You only experience this fully by watching the entire season at one time. The gratuitous sex, violence, and drugs are grating, but at the end of each episode I'm left a little bewildered and enticed to want to know what will happen next. By the final episode I am floored.
I don't read the reviews that tell me the plot and subplots. This stuff is obvious. But I do want you to know how QAF makes me feel and think. I'm generally conservative, but by the end of each season I want to celebrate being human, and I want the next season right away. QAF is about failure and redemption and the whole of human experience on fast-forward and in technocolor. I laughed when one reviewer said that he skips through certain sequences but takes his time on the sex scenes.
The QAF experience is just the opposite, it requires some of life's experience and a certain maturity to understand - to work through the stubborn glamorization of what is excessive and infantile in gay life and to finally see the characters for what they are: humans with hearts of blood and stone. I especially love the references to prior seasons, bringing Blake back at the end of the final episode was outstanding in the context of what was happening to Ted. Wow.
Okay, another year until season four. I'll rent it all at once, watch it over a weekend, laugh out loud, shed a tear, clap, fume, and in the end be overjoyed. I know the formula and characters will be the same, but that the twists will more than make up for it. I wouldn't associate with any one of these characters in real life but in the end, they're all my friends. Now that, that is remarkable testament to why QAF is so damned brilliant.
Wildly Uneven,But Still Fun!
The phenomenon is back!"Queer as Folk" returns with 14 episodes that won't please everyone,but is still a great ride anyway.Season 3 standout performances include Scott Lowell & Peter Paige,who characters,Ted & Emmett,finally revealed their love for each other at the end of season 2.A love that is threatened when terrible things begin to happen to Ted,leading to one of the series most shocking moments ever,and the return of an old love.More kudos to Robert Gant and Hal Sparks whose characters,Ben & Michael,decide to live together with unexpected results.with all its faults,season 3 still manages to to be better than expected,a sure step up from season 2,but two steps back from season 1.Look for the "official" QAF music video "Some Lovin'" By Kristine W. featuring the cast of the show.It's brilliant!
