I’m a movie reviewer. I’ve reviewed other things before, but lately, I’ve focused on movies. I’m not used to doing TV shows. I just liked this particular show enough to talk about it, which is why I’m writing what I’m writing. ...

Pros: Generally humorous and poignant writing, all around good performances.
Cons: Sex scenes can drag on, at times very vulgar, not for everyone.

The first time I ever mentioned this program to somebody at work, another person within earshot exclaimed "That's a gay show!". Nonplussed, I simply responded, "Well, yes". What he said following that is something I would feel uncomfortable writing,...

Pros: The cast, Strong storylines, Realistic!
Cons: Bonus stuff sucks, Somewhat misleading

Unless you've been living under a rock, you must have at least heard about a homosexual-glorified show called QUEER AS FOLK. If you didn't, my point exactly. You've been living under a rock when you shouldn't have been, during the time when a ...

Pros: Creative camera techniques; fun filled comedy; great to watch
Cons: Lengthy to watch 22 episodes

It's amazing that a number of years ago, the QAF series started in the UK and was successful. With great dance music and a creative plot, it was a great success. The US and Canadian versions are even more beyond in terms of creativity, professional...

The show is about 5 gay men, 2 lesbians, and a hetero hag mother in Pittsburgh, PA. There is Bria ...

Pros: Unflinching sex and gay relationships
