Admittedly, critics of this show had some reason, as the first few episodes seemed to solely concentrate on the characters' promiscuity. But give the show another chance, if you gave up on it. The show keeps getting better. It's pretty telling that some of the best story lines don't have anything to do with sex. Tune in if only to see the touching believability that goes on between Justin and his mother. I've never seen the actress who plays his mother, but she has created a character of more depth than some of the guys on the show. The most boring character is that of Emmett. He has the typical role of "gay best friend" even though he's already surrounded by gay people!
No matter how you slice it, though, "Queer as Folk" is still a definite cut above prime time major network fare and worth a look if you're into edgy fare.
