30 Days til my GAP Year Asia - DAY 16

TV Show 15 - Queer as Folk (USA Edition)

I didn't really love the UK (the original) version but when Showtime (Bless that Network!) reworked it for the US market. Filmed in Canada but set in America (confusing huh?) and with likable and not so likable characters this made for a great drama.



Over five seasons and 83 episodes, we saw so much nudity, so much sex but also explored some really important issues. I think it was a bold choice back in the day for programmers proving Showtime have been pushing boundaries in the USA for a while now.

If you get a few spare weekends (I know in the lead up to Christmas - not likely) then give this show a spin, you'll get lot's of eye candy, great tunes from many different genres and some real outstanding acting.
