Queer As Folk - The Complete Third Season (DVD, 2004, 5-Disc Set)

Queer as Folk is a groundbreaking TV series that shattered many taboos concerning the gay communities of america. Following the lives of 5 gay men and 2 lesbian women, it's easiest to call it a gay person's "Sex and the City", but it is definitely more than just that. Every episode has a huge political statement to make, whether its about gay marriage, job discrimination, or family disownment. This is a brutally realistic vision of life in a gay district, with promiscuous sex, constant drug use, and life with HIV are all touched on and never shied away from. The characters are all extremely complex individuals who challenge stereotypical views of all gays and also entertain immensely. This is also a very funny show, as it is constantly taking things in stride and joking all the way. Sometimes the show can be so witty and sarcastic that it could be mistaken for a comedy at first glance. Season 3 is my favorite because of the inner-conflicts that rage throughout (characters who sell out to work with homophobes, a meth addict losing all of his friends, steroid use to combat HIV, etc.) and is probably the most emotionally engaging. The best show ever? Maybe not, but it's pretty damn important, and it's still pretty damn close.

The items was in great condition. Shipping was very quick! Recommend this seller. A++++++++++++++++++

very different view of gay life usually shown on TV or the movies....more realistic. Interesting story lines. Well acted too. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire season. I have seasons 1 and 2 as well. all are good viewing.

Excellent story line, performances, and rhythm.

Very human, exciting, and raw. Brakes barriers and challenges minds!
Not just a gay show but a show that exposes lives of ordinary people who happen to be gay without sticking into stereotypes (you gotta be clever enough to see beyond those).

There's people out there saying that Queer as Folk it's like the gay version of "Sex and the City", but it's far more than that, and you'll realise it while you observe the characters developing.

I've been collecting them and now bought the third season. If interested, watch it from the beginning (season one)!

In conclusion, two words: BUY IT!

Very good quality, I love the product, just a little later than expected, not too much, but overally very very happy, would be happy to do buisness again

I wanted to watch it and I enjoy the show. I am collecting every season so it's been really good.

Second season is the best season!! Highly recommend!!!! Acting is great and the guys are beautiful. Subject matter is borderline x rated but exciting to watch. The actors make you care about their characters. Already purchased 3rd season.

The package was in good shape. The only thing that wasn't mentioned by te seller is that disc 3 was damaged and cracked in the centre of the disc.

This is a high quality show. The narration and plot is very full unlike other cheap productions of similar nature. This is not your typical show about the lives of people who are gay. Every day isn't just decorating or styling your hair. Its real people with real issues like business ownership, death of family members, purchasing a home, the birth of children, and much more. Of course, there are many things that are different in the life of someone who is openly gay, and this show is the only one edgy enough to show it. Whether it is losing your rights over your child, being spit upon, beaten into a coma, or having a bomb go off at your equal rights gathering, Queer as Folk touches all aspects of life. And that includes sex, lots of it.

If you are ready to pull the plug on Christopher Lowel, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and Ellen, and see REAL LIFE through the eyes of the gay community, it is time for you to start watching QUEER AS FOLK

What I like about Queer As Folk is the fact that it's a well written drama about gays. The story line is engaging and the characters are very easy to fall in love with. Sure, Queer As Folk may not represent a totally accurate portrayel of real life, but neither do many other dramas or soap operas on TV. I decided to buy Queer As Folk because it's an entertaining series and I love the characters! If you're looking for a new show to get addicted to...You need look no further than Queer As Folk.

What else can i say, this was my fav show. If you wanna know more read my review on the second season.

On the night that I was bidding on this item, The auction came to a close I thought that I was the high bid, but I didn't know how to use the refresh button. After the auction was over I received an E-mail from cvsales telling me that I had lost, that I wasn't the highest bidder, Then I went to another auction and bought it the same night from a different seller. I went to bed, the next morning I turned on my computer to find an e-mail telling me that I was the high bid and had won the item. I wrote back to tell them that I bought it from another seller..Now I am finding out that I received a flag against my account.I think I will stop using e-bay and buy my things from somewhere else.

I NEVER RECEIVED THE PRODUCT! I PAID FOR IT, WAITED, CALLED THEM, NO RESPONSE, I WAS FORCED TO DISPUTE THE CHARGES TRU MY BANK AND I WAS FORCED TO CANCEL MY DEBIT CARD AND REPLACE IT.

I made a mistake during the payment process, and I am new on ebay, so i messaged him and he walked me through what to do. The only problem was that it was from china so it has chinese writing but at least it was in english... i wish it had english subtitles though.

The Dvd's were in great condition as well as the case. The delivery was speedy!!! I would purchase from this user again.

Thanks

This is a great season of QAF! A lot different than the first and second, but just as good. It seems to be a lot more dramatic to me. I love the introduction of some really provocative charters. This season will certainly not disappoint any fans.

what i liked about this item was that it was in such good shape. I decided to buy this item due to the fact that it was 1/4 of the price that they are at the local stores... and i cannot pass up a good deal

i bought this pruduct about one month ago it was great quality and i would love to include that it was new for a great price and that was great quality i would love to buy more things from this seller and for you to trust them because there pruducts are great

I purchased these dvd's as a gift for a friend for christmas. The description stated that it was an english version right from showtime entertainment.
When i received the set , the entire outside of the box was in chinese writing and was sealed by a cheap selifane.
I emailed the seller and he said tht the dvds would play in english and not to worry.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt and gave them to my friend . I also had to give an embarrassing explanation when he opened them. I made him play them right then . They did play in english but they skipped due to extensive scratches . They were also burned copies on cheap dvd-r's .

I am still trying to resolve this issue . I will probably never buy another product from over seas . It would cost me to much to visit this seller.

Trying to knock off Christmas shopping for my mother early, I went to ebay in hopes of getting one of my mother's favorite shows; Queer as Folk. I went looking for a good price on any seasons of the show. Working with a budget of $75 for the product, the shipping and handling charges (including insurance) I started doing a search on Queer as Folk and with the results sorted by cheapest prices first. I saw really low prices with Buy it Nows and wondered as to why they were low ($15-20) when there were prices higher also with Buy it Now ($30-40). I read the description and saw that there was a Japanese edition available which is what I saw with all the low Buy-it-Now prices. I moved into the higher priced seasons and found the 2nd and 3rd edition from the same seller for a decent price. I bought both items, waited for a combined invoice (which saved me some shipping charges and an extra insurance fee), paid with my paypal account and got the DVDs quite fast. My mother was very happy with them so I was pleased and left good feedback.

The main reasons my mother likes Queer as Folk is that the show has a good plot, doesn't obsess with the "action" as other shows portraying gay (males specifically) and I liked the item because it was lower altogether than if I went to a store like Sears to get them.

I myself have nothing to complain about this item and would recommend this item to another potential buyer interested in understanding gay male relationships to a higher degree and recognizing they are not so different than the relationship between a man and a woman.

Season three was darker than the previous ones, but still filled with fun and excitement. There were enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and the characters' depth continue to build. I'd highly recommend this series.

I never received the movie, so if you are reading this, please make a note of that, Money was taken from my account and I received no movie. Don't buy from this website.

Great seller! A+++++++ Brilliant service, quick delivery. Superb!
Don't ever hesitiate to buy something from this seller, you can trust a quick delivery and great, great service. Thanks!

Couldn't have been happier. The DVD set was brand new, wrapped, came quickly and every disk played flawlessly
