W&G gives small representation to what is possible for gay men and how gay men really are. Will & Grace may have been started before QAF, but this time the gay men are real humans with real problems. QAF #1) Queer as Folk is the first show about gay men taken seriously and harder. Because of this, I will describe 5 outstanding differences and/or qualities of the two shows. Queer as Folk is also more well-known in the LGBTQ+ community because of its outspoken continuing legacy, and Looking is more of the suggested or must watch show to other queers (more so gay men) that will leave its own mark. Second, the different ways queer issues are discussed, especially since one is set in the early 2000s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and one is set in the present in San Francisco, California.

Well, first, why the hell not? The 1950s started the trend of shows inflated by straight men like The Andy Griffith Show (not including Golmer Pyle), Gunsmoke, and Bonanza, and then the TV industry took off into the 80s with Baywatch, MacGyver, and The A-Team, to now with Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and True Detective. How are these two shows different though? Why make another show about gay men? In January after the season started, I was attached to the experiences shown to Patrick, the beautiful guys in the show, and the issues explored. Patrick seemed to be me вЂ“ a young, white-privileged, out-of-state gay facing a newer and better world with a bit of naivety. I was excited by the preview as it gave snippets of Patrick, a young gay in San Fransisco, living and experiencing new adventures new for a вЂњbabyвЂќ gay like me. I started watching Looking online after months of seeing advertisements for the new gay show on HBO. It was my question in the beginning still вЂњHow is this not Looking,вЂќ but better yet вЂњHow is Looking not this?вЂќ Queer as Folk gave me more of an understanding to the life and minority I was and am living in with its plot surrounding on living single in an already oppressing nation, chasing love, learning what affects others, and also learning cultural relativism. But then I gave it another shot and watched another, then another, then another, and another. My friends talked enough about it though, so I watched an episode, but I still wasnвЂ™t pleased.

When I turned on the first episode and the theme started playing with the shirtless blue men in a psychedelic setting with electronica music in the background, I rolled my eyes, вЂњthis does not look like anything newвЂ¦вЂќ I was hesitant before with the description as вЂњfive young gay men in Pittsburgh living life with challenges and.вЂќ yada yada yada. In early June after watching all of the Orange is the New Black possible, I had to indulge myself with the talked-about 10-year-old show вЂ“ Queer as Folk. Your hometown does not have a lot to do, but you have Netflix.
