Queer as Folk
You know you want it.
Created by Daniel Lipman, Ron Cowen
On Showtime
A warm, character-driven ensemble drama that balances brash humor with genuine emotional depth while centering queer lives, relationships, and community issues.
Brash humor and genuine emotion make up this original series revolving around the lives, loves, ambitions, careers and friendships of a group of gay men and women living on Liberty Avenue in contemporary Pittsburgh, PA. The show offers an unapologetic look at modern, urban gay and lesbian lives while addressing the most critical health and political issues affecting the community. Sometimes racy, sometimes sensitive and always straight to the heart.
