Even if i would have loved the show being a excellent LGBT portrait, let's admit first that it's only a gay show.
From this point, it is not lying to say that Queer as Folk US gives us an entry to the single life of gay people, shallow and superficial. At first, this was not convincing to me but after a few episodes, i got attached to characters.
Then it became clear that all behaviors get some kind of explanations at some point, letting us the choice to believe the characters' intentions and allowing us to relate in a better way to them.
The last two seasons go deeper by showing more "serious" issues gay encounter in their life. And i have to admit that this change was for the better.
Watching this show now and in a week, knowing all the changes (apps for example) in the gay life, the problems and joys you find in it, you may experience for real. This is why i love this show : because it's accurate at many points.
