Synopsis

The Queer As Folk - Definitive Collector's Edition box set contains all episodes from this dramatic and unprecedented television series, which first appeared on England's Channel 4 in 1999. The series, which very honestly tackles the intricate and complex story of three Manchester gay men and their trials and relationships, deals with sex explicitly and does not shy away from controversial subject matter. Fortunately, because of its beautiful handling, layered storylines, and nuanced, complicated characters, it was a huge success. The series follows the lives of Stuart (Aiden Gillen), a wildly promiscuous, often callous advertising executive, Vince (Craig Kelly), the overly nice and unintentionally celibate grocery store manager, and Nathan (Charlie Hunnan), the attractive and immature 15-year old who falls in love with Stuart and follows his example. Placing the heterosexual scene entirely on the periphery, "Queer as Folk" has been a highly important and incredibly involving step for television.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top class., 16 Jan 2007
By Mr. B. C. Henshaw "Brent" (Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I cannot recomend this DVD enough. It combines an intelligent script with excellent direction and fine acting. The story revolves around two gay men and their lives on the gay scene in Manchester. It is both funny and touching. Although the gay sex scenes may offend some people, they are intrinsic to the plot and not at all gratuitus. Buy this if you appreciate British drama at it's best.
