Continuing on in fine form, Season 3 is a treat - By: Craig A. Macdonald, 25 Aug 2008 
If you enjoyed the first two seasons, season 3 will be right up your alley.
Following on from the second season, Michael is still dating HIV+ Ben, Justin & Ethan are still together, & though Brian denies he has feelings for Justin, that seems to be the only thing he thinks about. Unexpected relationships blossom, the arrival of a teenage hustler stirs things up, & a new client of Brian's threatens the freedom of everyone on Liberty Avenue. It's definitely Queer as Folk - complete with the graphic sex scenes & frank depictions of life - but a little bit darker.
This season is shorter than the previous 2, comingin at only 14 episodes. In these episodes issues are dealt with quicker, though at times it seems like they're dealt with too quickly - the over arching theme takes a long time to come to a conclusion, as it wouldin real life, but some things seem a bit too cut & paste. Regardless of that fact, the season is still excellent & some great issues are explored.
The only real downside about this release is that having loved it & finished itin days, & there's no set date for seasons 4 & 5. Having contacted WarnerBros they have said that there are plans to release the last 2 seasons, however dates have not been decided. Hopefully it won't take too long because the nature of Queer as Folk dictates it should be watchedin close succession, & having to wait for another year for another box set would drain on the climax achievedin the season finale.
Not afraid to confront the issues - By: Mr. Patrick A. Harrington, 11 Jul 2008 
I found this very refreshing. I enjoyed the UK version but this was much darker & more political. I know a lot of people who were into the soundtrack of the UK one (many quite unexpected). The US version doesn't have the same pop feel. It deals with very serious issues. The sex scenes are also a little more graphic. It didn't offend me but I suppose it would some. It would be a real shame if that stopped people from looking at the underlying themes which are common to everyone. There is a bit of stereotyping (of the anti-Gay Stockwell amongst others) but I suppose we all have difficulty putting ourselvesin the shoes of another!
What a fab programme! - By: S. Knight, 26 Jun 2008 Have become completely hooked on this programme! Loved the British version & was a bit reluctant to watch this, BUT it is absolutely fabulous. Now own seasons 1, 2 & 3. Season 3 has more of a plotline rather than the character/relationship slant that Seasons 1 & 2 had. It is really watchable & what can I say, Randy (Justin) looks fab with his longer hair!!!
