Watchseries; But it's awful. The writing is so poor and the direct lifts from QAF UK don't work, and QAF US is really done dirty. Juliette Lewis is a dream and Kim Catrall just plays herself with an accent, it's great to see them both.

It seems dated already, the haircuts and the terrible clothes really make it look older than the original shows.

The supporting cast are way better than the leads. God knows where they scraped the lead cast up from.

Queer as Folk watchseries. Absolutely brilliant... don't compare previous versions its anything like, though based on Russell's Davis story is different .Great.casting acting .Peeaccock well done.. I hope to see this get good reviews. And I really would like this or something similar to go on as a soap for a few seasons and not just one.

I was a huge fan of the original American series (I haven't seen the Brit version). When I learned about this reboot was concerned but figured I give it a chance. Well, it is worse than I'd expected. Flat characters and the writing dull. It feels very contained - no real sense of time/place. Juliet Lewis and Kim Catretrel are the only reason this isn't getting one star. Shame the other casting wasn't as good. On top of it all, even the soundtrack sucks.

Vacuous characters who you just can't connect to

Do yourself a favour. Watch the original US series.

When Brian in the 2002 made an entrance, he made an ENTRANCE. Cocky, extremely handsome Brian who knew he was peacock of the flock.

I had to try and guess who this version of Brian was... oh him? Oh yes, make him black to be PC... but he had no charisma befitting of US's original Brian

Give this a miss and watch the OG. The characters are well rounded and totally loveable.

I was curious about this series, but it turned out to be a mess. If they didn't want to be compared to the original UK and US versions, then they shouldn't have called it "Queer as Folk". They could have called it "Gays in New Orleans" or something similar. Calling it QAF inevitably leads to a comparison and this series fails.

The original UK and US series had much better writing and better cast. The originals didn't get hung up on the belief that they had to hire only gay actors, there was a mix. I don't care what an actor's sexual orientation is, only if they can give a quality performance.

Do I really care about most of the characters in this series, no. The incident at Babylon was terrible, but this is one drama queens performance after another. I found myself skipping ahead because the dialog was so bad. Few of the characters work and most gay men are not feminine, it's not real. At least in the US, more gay men have bachelor's degrees than the total US adult population and that shows focus and commitment which isn't apparent here. This isn't real gay life in the US.

I saw 6 episodes and gave up, the gay community needs a quality series not more of this.
