Queer as Folk: Death and Remembrance

I completely agree about the American version. It came to the point where there was little left that could happen to the characters that they hadn't already done. Just look at Emmett's story line: he was in a relationship with Ted that ended badly with drug abuse, was a pornographic actor, married a rich older man and inherited his money, got a job as a local news star, secretly dated a closeted NFL star, and so on. His plot line just became more and more unrealistic and extravagant. The same thing happened with other characters as well. It sort of became like a daytime soap opera.

I agree that the British version didn't drag on for so long, but the first couple seasons of the US series were definitely better.

The British series is fresh and unique. Comparing it too the American version, however, is a bit like comparing acorns and trees. The British series was limited and as with many British TV series, it covered its subject well, made its point, and completed - all in 10 episodes spread over 2 seasons. The American series ran for 5 years and consisted of 15-20 episodes per year. It had the luxury of broader development of lead and secondary characters. After 5 years it just overdid it all and closed as a tired series with its last 2 seasons superfluous and never approaching its first 2 years. The British series dealt with the gay lifestyle as a whole without probing deeply into secondary character development. Both series were good but the British series was the ground breaker that led the way for several gritty topical shows. It was the original art, those that followed were good copies.

Oh I totally agree, but still what an a-hole he was! I mean he didn't try to help & he stole Phil's money! To clarify, I thought he was a symbol of the threat of what might happen if Stuart continued that lifestyle (picking up strangers at nightclubs)

Thanks for the response! Sometimes I wonder if I'm looking too deep and maybe a cigar is just a cigar :) See 2 other replies

I noticed that as well. I think it does have some significance, though I also think that Phil's death was an accident, so it is unlikely that he would have been a threat to Stuart. See 2 other replies

I just realized that the guy Stuart is flirting with at the club, right before Vince walks in and interrupts them, is the same guy who was with Phil when he died.

Does this symbolize the fact that Vince's friendship saved Stuart from a terrible fate, or is that reading a bit much into it?

So excited to see the rest.

Great comments all the way around.
Well thought out and well explained.

I had to hate though cause I think the American version of Vince\Michael's mother is a friggin nightmare. I agree that she is significantly better fleshed out than the UK version but I like the UK mom better. If there's an argument for "your mother makes you gay" then the American version mom is it.
