I am one of the few people in the US fortunate enough to
see this British TV series. It's certainly better than the majority of American sitcoms and mini-series. The story lines give a mature, humorous, satiric look at the life of gays in Manchester, England. There are serious elements of parents rejecting their gay children, homophobia, and the dangers of picking up people, but overall the stories are
kept brisk, funny, and delightful.
The closest that American TV comes is DYNASTY, MELROSE
PLACE, ACTION, and MARRIED...WITH CHILDREN, but this show
is more gutsy and even has Shakespearian irony. It presents interesting characters, bold plotting, and transcends its own open sexual elements. Following the
adventures of the three main characters (sexual-magnet
Stuart, unrequited romantic Vince, and teenaged conqueror
Nathan), the story includes a whole wide world of other
people and in wonderfully playful.
It would be nice to think that one of the US cable lines
will be bold enough to show it.
