Game #56: Queer as Folk

Let's See How Far We've Come

Picture
This is another show I was introduced to fairly recently. I grew up with a dim perception that some friends of mine watched "Queer as Folk", but I was never too curious about it and, at bottom, it didn't seem like it was "for me". After slogging through "The L Word" a couple years back, it only made sense at some point to watch the show that "The L Word" and others can credit its existence to.

At the outset, "Queer as Folk" and "The L Word" are the same show; it follows a group of gay 20-30-somethings in Pittsburgh who spend their time...being gay, mostly. As one of the first mainstream pieces of queer television, it puts itself out there in a way that seems abrasive and downright campy now. But between the year 2000 and 2015, so much has changed in terms of how the gay community functions in the U.S; "Queer as Folk", in that sense, acts like a time capsule for what it was like to be gay in conservative America.

Being a soap opera, "Queer as Folks" answers for inquiring minds stretches the boundaries of logic several dozen times over the course of the show, but you're not watching this show because it's smart or insightful. You're watching this show because it promises you a damn good time. And, mostly, it damn well delivers one.
