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

I have just watched half of season two thus far, but have a comment about one of the episodes. I was amazed to see Justin (who had gone to Daphne's party), cannot remember which episode, and he took the one guy to the bedroom for sex. The guy was a virgin, much like Justin in Season one episode one, and the dialogue was exactly the same as he had with Brian. It made me laugh, but also cringe a bit as I was already seeing a lot of Brian rubbing off on Justin (so to speak).

A friend loaned me Season 1, and later Season 2. I am drawn into the lives of these wonderful characters, and I can't let go. Season 2 was great, and I loved and hated the same characters. New stuff like Ted's new entrepreneurship, Michael's HIV lover, and Justin's realization that there's a world away from Brian (maybe), all created more interest. The Lesbian marriage was especially sweet; Emmett's relationship with George is one of the most heartfelt, sweet situations, and Peter Paige really shines in this whole season. There's the appearance of the gorgeous Fabrizio Felippo as Ethan, a fine violinist at Justin's school. That was enough for him to make him stand on his own. Brian continues to be a fascinating rake, and sweet Michael shows an ugly side that made me want to strangle him because of his big mouth. And...the Queer life goes on..and I can't wait to watch the 3rd 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 while raising Gus, and the big story this year is Debbie's antagonism toward her son Micheal for getting invloved with an HIV
positive man. Brian is still at the forefront of the story as he gets invloved with someone from his mother's church.
Beautifully filmed and produced, "Queer as Folk" continues being an amazing television program, and as Brian Kinney would say, with "no apolgies and no regrets".
There are also a ton of bonus features, with over 3 hours of bonus goodies; there's a wrap party reel, TV spots and trailers, behind the scenes interviews, and more.

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.

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.
