They're still out and proud, and in their second season the boys (and girls) of Queer as Folk continued to break ground as the most gay-friendly show on television (sorry, Will and Grace). Some plot lines were a little over the top, others truly heartfelt, but they were never less than entertaining, even during their All My Children moments. Season two opened in the aftermath of the gay-bashing of Justin (Randy Harrison), the young artist who wondered if he'd ever be able to paint or draw again, and went on to face a variety of issues and plotlines as diverse as its characters. Some were timely (Michael negotiating a relationship with new HIV-positive boyfriend Ben), some romantic (lesbians Lindsay and Melanie tying the knot), some new to the show (Emmett embarks on a relationship with a--gasp!--older gentleman), and some, well, far-fetched (how many of you had to wrestle, like Ted did, with starting your own pornographic web site?).
While the writing tended to flail about a bit, thankfully coalescing by the season's end, the show continued to be anchored by stellar actors, especially Peter Paige's Emmett, who grew the most during the second season; Michelle Clunie's Melanie, the alternately wry and sweet lesbian who became the show's secret weapon; and, as always, Gale Harold's Brian, the lothario with a heart of tarnished gold. Frustrating, fascinating, exasperating one moment and charming the next, Brian perfectly summed up the guilty pleasures of Queer as Folk, where humanity peeks out every now and then from behind the curtain of fabulous comedy and drama. --Mark Englehart

- "Another Great "Queer as Folk" Season"
Showtime presents "Queer as Folk-Season 2" with 20 brand new episodes filmed in widescreen format. The drama and the impeccable writing and acting continues for another season. The show continued to pick up steam as we see the fallout from the bashing incident. This is also the year that many characters get new jobs, as Ted opens up a porn website, Micheal buys a comic book store and discovers the man of his dreams, and Emmett becomes a porn star. Melanie and Lindsay plan a committment ceremony ... Read More
Rating: - Good buy--worth the money
This season is well worth the cost--there are far too few shows that have anything to do with life as a homosexual--and even those that do, have little to do with ACTUAL isses the way qaf does...of course, qaf is often a little over the top...but, that is part of its charm.

- queer as folk the completethird season
The dvd's and case are, for the most part, in good looking condition.
Some of the dvd's have sugnificant scratches and cause the dvd to shutter and skip and eventually freeze and have to start over to get it going again. Other than that, they run just fine.

This is a wonderful series.Very grafic and interesting.One of my favorite shows EVER!
Rating: - A strong, gripping second season of what is becoming one of the best shows on television
A pitch-perfect first season of a TV show is a rarity, and Queer as Folk - The Complete First Season was just that. Here comes season two, which is just as strong, but more watchable as we don't have to deal with necessary explanations and are able to get into the drama easily, since we care so much for these characters.
And what a drama it is! After the shocking season finale of the first season (the best season finale I've ever seen, and the one that made jump out of my seat and ring a friend ... Read More
