Bob & Rose Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Cazanya It is to typical of people complaining about something when they no nothing about it...So this is about a gay man falling for a straight women. First of all...This is a true story so you cant say its not believable Second its written by a gay man so the whole thing about this being against the gays are just plain stupid. Personally I think this was the best love story I've ever seen. And I am very pro gay. I think this shows that real love is about personality not just looks and sex. And it has nothing against anyone who is gay, straight or bi unlike so many other shows. Maybe we in Europe take to it more cus most TV here are a bit deeper and make you think more then American TV...Plus we don't fear when it comes to showing certain things.If you want something funny with one of Englands best (Lesley Sharp) and you want to see a decent believable love story without too much sap this is for you. I know I love it
crimmint Great writing. Stumbled into this cleaver story. Politically it was hard to view as a gay man but the great writing and solid plot made it enjoyable to watch. The premise that a politically identified Gay Man can find love with a woman seems far fetched. But this series story line, keeps you engaged and handles the topic intelligently and entertainingly. The various characters are well developed and believable. The plot has various ups and downs as you watch the series which are satisfying and well drawn. The actors portray the characters well although the English accents can be a little hard for an American ear.
Kevin Howell The 2001 6-part series (each episode 45 minutes long) is finally coming out in the us on DVD. This was writer Russell T. Davies's follow-up to his QUEER AS FOLK. Although the gay male lead, Bob, continually says "I was born gay, I'm gay now, I'll die gay, I'll have a gay gravestone." but still he falls in love with (and has sex with) the female lead, Rose. As the previous poster said, the problem with this is that there are misinformed people out there who believe that sexuality is a choice and that gays and lesbians could just CHOOSE to go straight. But, movies dont have to be politically correct and no one can fault Davies's commitment to gay enlightenment (his creation of Bob's mother as a fierce PFLAG mom certainly doesn't allow viewers to believe that this switch happens every day). The comedic and dramatic storyline concerns Bob's bewildered state of mind when he discovers that while he's totally gay, he's also in love with a woman and finds that one woman sexually attractive.The miniseries is NOT saying that gays and lesbians can change their orientation through willpower. This is a specific story about one specific character, who is as baffled by this turn of events as are all his friends. So, should Davies not write a compelling story just because it could be taken out of context and used against us? Considering that innocent Bible verses are taken out of context and used as clubs of hatred, I guess NOTHING is safe. So, enjoy the characters and the story.The cast is sensational; the editing is lightning quick like the original British QAF and the writing and direction is top notch. There's no way you'll be able to stop watching until you've finished all six episodes. Its just a shame that the music soundtrack to the US DVD has replaced virtually all the songs that were on the double CD issued when the mini series ran in the UK in 2001. When will producers pay for the rights to the songs in both the US and UK? This same flaw effects the QAF dvds--which contains different music than copies of the original UK version did.
kristinasc I have watched all but the last episode of this series and really look forward to finding out how the the story pans out. The characters are fully believable and likeable -warts and all. Alan Davies is developing into a credible actor and has shed the lisp (?) and the overgrown-boy-image.Bob's mother (played by Penelope Wilton) is an absolute hoot and would drive any son to drink, gay or straight. A lovely, gentle series, funny but not shallow - it puts a smile on your face.
