Editorial DVD Review
[Top]
Picking up where Queer as Folk left off, QAF2: Same Men, New Tricks exists primarily to wrap up the series. Consisting of two one-hour episodes, it occasionally moves fast, but it wont leave anyone who watched the first series behind. Stuart is still, were constantly reminded, a twat, & its around him that this sequel revolves. Trying to come to term with his place in the world, he finds young Nathan a formidable protege, his family needing him less, & his friends... well, Stuart never was much of one for relationships. Vince, his one friend, has started to take charge of his own life, leaving Stuart to grow less & less connected to anyone elses definition of responsible behaviour. Its maddening, but its also what makes the show so much fun to watch.

Then comes the ending: keeping in mind that QAF2 was done solely to ensure that there would be no conceivable way to do any further series, the fantastical final 15 minutes is extremely effective, if a bit incongruous with the rest of the show. Camp & way, way, way over the top, its an ending that the guys in the show would probably relish.
