The series certainly starts with a bang: in the first episode, young Nathan is deflowered, Stuart (Aiden Gillen) becomes a father and Vince (Craig Kelly) pines away with an unrequited love that quickly establishes itself as the series' main theme. (That Vince spends half of QAF with a boyfriend complicates the situation some.) Nathan has already come to terms with his sexuality by the time the series starts, but that doens't mean that the rest of his family--or his fellow students--have; Stuart, the biggest (or, at least, busiest) stud in town, and QAF's approaches 30 and starts to re-examine his life; and Vince has to live with the rest of them.
The parents, families, friends and co-workers of all involved get plenty of screen time, and occasionally steal the scenes themselves--especially Denise Black (hairdresser Denise Osbourne from Coronation Street).
The DVD includes a Photo Gallery and a handful of interviews, which add little to the package. --Randy Silver
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.
