Which show do you think provides a better take on the gay community?
Looking vs. Queer as Folk
- Thread starter Joe Washington
- Start date
I haven't seen Looking (Which is ending with a TV movie), but if you are comparing it to QaF then I would say neither.
However QaF was in a world that was a lot darker for gays, looked like gay marriage would be banned Constitutionally, and now it looks like we will have gay marriage for everyone within this year.
That said Qaf is a horrible mess of a show, the last couple seasons were not needed, and should be forgotten.
Queer as Folk UK or Queer as Folk US?
Very different serieses.
I quit Looking Half way through the pilot.
It was almost as bad as Please Like Me.

Never heard of Looking. The Amercian version of QAF didn't really do the gay community any favours: drug use, promiscuous sex, etc but it was very entertaining. I was a huge Brian/Justin shipper!
Well that's how a writer writes.
They pull off parts of themselves to push in and out of a plot.
Unless they happen to have several fully articulated personalities inside them, trying to get out.

Not really helpful if it's a team of writers devoted to five seasons' worth of material, however.
Besides, a writer could separate characters according to his/her own psyche, but a better writer is capable of creating characters that can stand on their own as fully fleshed out people, without having to depend on others to define themselves.
It's been a long time since I watched QAF, but I liked Looking and am sad it's ending
