KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

believe_972 Hi everyone ! I don't remember when I heard of Noah's Arc for the first time but what I can say is that it's been like a crush ! I went on amazon to order it cause we don't have Logo in France. This series is amazing and the characters are diversed and real. I don't agree when some say that all the characters are effeminate. That's not true ! Please have a closer look at the series please. noah's arc is a reflection of gay's life, because you have a lot of men who are only interested in sex and few who seek for love ! Those men are facing two difficulties: first of all they are gay and secondly they are black. Many people have the image of black men being thugs, straight and surrounded by women, but that not true. Noah's arc reminds this to us.Sorry for the English but I'm french

Kay Eye ...and for some odd reason, i think thats all the show is meant to do....entertain. I mean it does display some realities in the gay community but breaks away from reality and at the same time....and the writer should be allowed to do that with no penalty, charge, or scrutiny ...why...because its a TV SHOW!!!....not a documentary, not reality TV, but a fictional TV show which touches on realistic issues...(i.e. aids in the black gay community, gay marriage, raising a child in a gay relationship...etc.)Yeah, I'm a straight black woman and like the straight white woman said, what am I doing watching a gay male show...LOL...like her, I ran into it by accident and it too reeled me in...I absolutely love the show, bought season 1 on DVD, and must say I've learned a lot about the gay community just by listening to the commentaries.I've Never watched QAF or the L Word and don't intend to, not because I have issues with it, just not interested....so i can't do a comparison on the two. But, what I have noticed is some ppl look for TV shows to tell the story of THEIR reality and thats not what Noah's Arc was meant to do. It tells the story of Noah, Alex, Ricky, and Chance...4 black gay men in LA, not the story of Black gay men in America. Again, I'm a straight black woman and I thoroughly enjoy Girlfriends, Living Single, & Moesha and not one of those straight black female characters relate to me and because they don't, does that mean discredit and discount the show? Thats stupid. Its just television, and if people would stop looking for their life stories to be told via Noah's ARC, QAF, L Word, Girlfriends, Desperate Houswives, etc. and just take it for what it is, then it would be received much better.If I want my life story to be told...I'll pick up a pen and begin to write, not wait on someone else to tell my story for me.

www63021 A black QAF is how it was described to me by a good friend of mine who picked up the season on DVD. Unfortunately I do not get logo on my cable system and I couldn't find the DVD in any stores in my conservative section of the Midwest. I found it available for download to my iPod and did so. I watched the entire 1st season in one sitting. Unlike some of the opinions expressed hear, I find this better than QAF and think that it portrays gays in a more positive light.. I don't think I remember many episodes of QAF when they didn't show anonymous hook-ups in dark back rooms. I really adore this show... the characters AND actors! The drag show sequence in "Don't Make Me Over" choreographed by Frank Gatson was very well performed. I LOVED IT.

machination04 My sister forced me to watch the complete season with her a few weeks ago, claiming it was a "must see." After watching the tape, I think it's a "must avoid." As a gay black male I thought surely I would relate to it somehow, but I saw myself nowhere in this show. Sadly, I'd rather watch reruns of Queer as Folk. My problem with the show is that none of the characters are believable or respectable: There's Noah, possibly the biggest queen ever; supposedly soooo in love with his closeted fake thug, but hooks up with the first stranger who shows him attention. Then there's Alex, as silly, insecure and melodramatic as they come; treats his man (who in real life probably wouldn't accept large sums of money to even be seen with someone like him, let alone date) like a personal slave/houseboy, goes after anyone who gets within 3 feet of him, and then wonders why he wants time away from him. Which brings us to Ricky, the nasty man-whore; goes on a date, only to sneak off to the restroom to hookup with the waiter. I needn't say more-this slut is an embarrassment to gay men. And finally, Chance, so uptight he should be shooting diamonds from his rear; supposedly so together, so intelligent, so mature, yet drives his car into the house of someone his man hooked up with. Between that, and merely the way he speaks, I wanted to mute all his scenes out of disgust. Being the type I am, I'll give anything a chance before condemning it. I wanted to like this show but unfortunately I was disappointed deeply. I'm ready for someone to break away from stereotypes (i.e., promiscuity, femininity, cheating, etc) and give us a show featuring characters that are masculine, interesting, diverse and genuinely funny. Noah's Arc is clearly not that show.
