Ovation's "Queer As Folk"

Aron Gold, Esq. READ TIME: 1 MIN.

If you loved Showtime's five-season rendition of Queer as Folk, then be sure to check out the United States airing of Britain's original four-episode version of the series on the Ovation network.

Premiering on Ovation's Art Out Loud event during Pride Month, this version of QaF featured three friends in Manchester, England living the nightlife, the drama and the ups and downs of being gay.

If you're familiar with the American version, you'll notice the differences and similarities between the two series. EDGE's favorite difference? Full frontal! The plot is mostly the same, but with a slightly more contentious love triangle between the Brian, Michael and Justin characters. Queer as Folk will premier on June 20 with a Marathon on June 27 starting at 9 p.m.
