Queer as Folk - The Complete Third Season (Showtime) | Year: 2003 Classification: Television Actors/Actresses: - Michelle Clunie Wildly Uneven,But Still Fun! The phenomenon is back!"Queer as Folk" returns with 14 episodes that won't please everyone,but is still a great ride anyway.Season 3 standout performances include Scott Lowell & Peter Paige,who characters,Ted & Emmett,finally revealed their love for each other at the end of season 2.A love that is threatened when terrible things begin to happen to Ted,leading to one of the series most shocking moments ever,and the return of an old love.More kudos to Robert Gant and Hal Sparks whose characters,Ben & Michael,decide to live together with unexpected results.with all its faults,season 3 still manages to to be better than expected,a sure step up from season 2,but two steps back from season 1.Look for the "official" QAF music video "Some Lovin'" By Kristine W. featuring the cast of the show.It's brilliant! Entertaining R-rated soap opera Although I'd seen a handful of episodes from seasons 1 and 2, the third season of the American "Queer as Folk" is the first season I've seen in its entirety. And although I'm nowhere near as smitten with the show as a lot of my gay friends are, I do admit that the show is very fun and entertaining. The most interesting thing about this season was watching the development of Brian, who is by far the most three-dimensional character on the show. In the beginning of the season, still smarting from his breakup with Justin, Brian's behavior is cold and cruel, and yet by the end of the season we see him willing to bankrupt himself in order to keep a homophobic candidate from becoming city mayor. In one particularly telling episode, where Brian is accused of molestation by his horrific 12-year-old nephew, we get a glimpse into Brian's family life, and it starts to become apparent why the character would have become so hardened. His relationship with Justin, rekindled by the end of the season, becomes more interesting as well, because it becomes apparent that, although younger, precocious, sneaky Justin is in many ways Brian's match. If you take away the graphic sex scenes (which, I'm not going to lie, I do appreciate), what you're left with is a show that reminds me a little bit of Beverly Hills 90210: attractive, sexy, (mostly) likable characters who tend to have a penchant for substance abuse and romantic drama. So as an entertaining, sexy nighttime soap opera, the show works. However, as a groundbreaking, seminal drama, HBO's excellent "Six Feet Under" is still light years ahead. Finally, Ted is actually interesting Definitely better than season 2. Ted becomes interesting, finally! And Kinney gets a heart. A surprising new role (or two) for Michael, Justin refuses to settle but then settles again...how long will that last, though? The characters are moving forward in life, and it's a good thing. The bar scene is still active, but no longer the center of it all. These people actually have lives.
