Johnny Sibilly and Chris Renfro in Queer as Folk
Everyone is buzzing about the 2022 Queer As Folk reboot on Peacock, directed by Stephen Dunn, but there is obviously one burning question on our minds: how does the nudity in the new series compare to the original 1999 UK Queer As Folk series and the 2000 American one?
We’ve compiled some of the hottest moments from all three of the Queer As Folk iterations, and it is up for you to decide if the new reboot can hold a candle to the originals.
Check out how the new series stacks up against the classics we know and love after the NSFW jump!
Scroll down for the GIFs, and watch all the sexyiest scenes from the new Queer as Folk here.
Keep in mind that the 2022 Queer As Folk is up against Charlie Hunnam’s iconic gay butt licking scene:
Hunnam also shared some amazing make out sessions with future Game Of Thrones star Aidan Gillen. Take note. This is a tonguing.
The Queer As Folk reboot is also up against the 2000 American version of the series. We got a recreation of Hunnam’s famous RJ scene featuring Randy Harrison and Gale Harold.
And a damn hot look at comedian Hal Sparks glorious bush!
Now onto the reboot… We know you will appreciate series star Devin Way showing his beautiful butt while having his way with Caleb J. Spivak from behind.
Plus, Johnny Sibilly and Chris Renfro have some of the most realistic, sweaty sex since Jonathan Groff and Russell Tovey in Looking. And that’s… saying something.
Oh and Nyle DiMarco is here. In his underwear. Playing a sex worker. Looking like this.
And Special star Ryan O’Connell shows off his butt in this bedroom scene:
So, what’s the verdict? Maybe you should do some more research first… To see ALL the nudity from all three series, you know where to go!
seems a lot of commentors have a problem with the cast actually being diverse and the fact that this version is more in line with the original (UK version) instead of the copy (Showtime version)
“Non-Binary as Folk”…no thanks! Couldn’t get through the first episode! So many stereotypes but I guess this is what the new “woke” queers are into? The British version is far superior along with the follow-ups (“Cucumber” and “Banana”). The American version/adaptation was very good as well, and this is just cringeworthy! checks every box and it’s so on the nose. Superficial and boring. Can’t connect with any of the characters. Definitely made for the 2015-2025 (hopefully) Non Binary/Queer bubble. Pass.
The one thing the Peacock series has got going for itself is the cast is more diverse, however, the stories being told are very stereotypical and I don’t get that underlying character connection that I feel we got from the Showtime adaptation. The mirroring of Brian & Justin with Brodie & Mingus does not work for me. Justin was lusting for Brian in what felt very genuine, yet semi-desperate; Mingus’ so-called “love” for Brodie feels childish and desperately sad. One was more relatable while the other is not. The other thing the Peacock series has got going is its use of trans and non-binary actors/characters, however, it also feels very stereotypical and woke. Not to mention, the overuse of drugs in the Peacock series feels quite forced, whereas the casual use in the 2000 series felt natural (as natural as it can…). Overall, the new series is a solid C for me. If it gets renewed, it needs to make major adjustments to find its own footing.
It’s absolutely horrible. Mostly cringeworthy. That’s the buzz.
From what I’ve heard, the most recent iteration has a more diverse cast but not much else in its favor. It’s so rare that gay media is remotely good. The earlier US version was lightning in a bottle.
The cast is more diverse, however, the stories being told are very stereotypical and I don’t get that underlying character connection that I feel we got from the Showtime adaptation. This series pales in comparison.
*NOTE* I have loved this website since I was 15 and despite the quality deteriorating over the years I’ve held on.
However I was about to chew and spit out someone’s ass over calling Ryan O’Connell special but then I saw another site call him that which led to me looking up his imdb profile to see he was a show called special .
I’m like an hour away from NOLA and I love how on the nose this new QAF is at representing our community and also including everyone and normalizing live between everyone especially the disabled community. Even the type of drag is represented correctly: also anyone who has been or was a fan of the OG UK & US QAF will definitely love this new one as they have brought plots and memorable moments from those shows into this one seamlessly. Especially when one sees Charlie’s UK character brought up on a dating app or the US version playing on tv.
Second, one of the last episodes showed a schools locker room with some drool worthy candy and I’m surprised it didn’t make the cut!
Hello-
in terms of character or plot does the Peacock reboot have anything to do with the
Showtime series? or are they simply using the title with no connection between the
two series?
There is no connection between the Showtime series and this one. There is, however, a slight connection between the UK series and the Peacock series. That’s all I will say.
