Queer as Folk

I've seen the US version and LOVED it! So I checked the the original UK version, British actors are most often better than US/Canadian actors on many levels. I was wrong!
~None of the actors gave me any sense of who the characters were and what drives them. There was no passion/lust/heat/sexual tension with these performances, all dead sticks. I felt nothing for any of the characters other than, "I wish they'd all stop whining and acting like wankers!". If this is the best these people can do and if Gays in the UK really are like this, I'll never cruise a Gay Club in the UK, hoping for a hot shag!
~The script was horrible, story line erratic, often going nowhere. Editing was a hack job, scenes were choppy and didn't help the story flow. It seems the Director had no clue of how to motivate the actors, was the director straight? If so, a Gay director would have been a better choice. If he is gay, was he off his meds during the filming? Other than a few songs the soundtrack did nothing to enhance the story.
~Don't waste your time watching this version and surely don't waste your money buying the series.
