Is this worth watching if you're not gay?


It was filmed near where I live, also I'm interested in most subcultures.

Yep, its a love story at the core. A beautiful one I've never felt so strong about. All others that have seen it have felt the same.

if u're into clever storytelling, then yes.

If it was filmed near where you live then why not go for a night out down Canal Street sometime, me and my friends (who are straight) go down now and then and even they think it's brilliant :-)

But yeah sure give the show a look, it is really good and funny, but be warned, some of the sex scenes are pretty full on lol

Best drama eva!

Of course it is! It would be very boring if we only watched films about people who are like us. For me that would mean never watching films about men! Or Americans, or Asians, or any number of interesting things. Partly we watch films and read books to find out what other people are like.

Yeah it's just a relationship drama, not a porno... if you like comedy romance dramas, and don't mind the odd rimming scene, you'll probably enjoy it. It's quite an interesting portryal of "gay culture" too, if such a thing exists.

I just watched it for the first time and it's a fantastic find to stumble across this many years later. Loved it and found the humor wasn't dated.

Of course, it's a brilliant, humane and funny story about love and friendship. The characters feel very real and complex.

The soundtrack is nice as well!
