No. Queer as folk is one of the worst gay themed drama shows ever. I don't give a fuck what any of you say.
im watching the series again....you guys are harsh...
i dont see how they could make a gay-themed drama without being somewhat stereotypical at the time.
i would agree the characters are unlikeable. however the best acting came from the brunette lesbian Melanie Marcus played by Michell Clunie. there were a couple instances where she really had a scene but the directors or whoever seemed to be fine with a mediocre delivery.

also, brian and justin seemed more like fuckbuddies than boyfriends, they certainly were not committed to one another. i think brian belonged with Michael much more, their scenes were more genuine. im not sure why that happened, probably because they were both playing 'roles' and acted it better or it was written that way.
qaf was kinda trapped between being a softcore porn and a drama, im sure the nude scenes made the audiences happy
