Now, 15 years later, I’m looking back and see whether the show has stood the test of time, and whether the stories it told still resonate.įollowing the aforementioned schoolboy, Nathan (Charlie Hunnam), supermarket manager, Vince Tyler (Craig Kelly), and the ultimate gay anti-hero, advertising executive, Stuart Alan Jones (Aiden Gillen), Queer As Folk showed taboo lives and love affairs in such an unapologetic manner, it had viewers, both straight and gay, hooked from the get-go. In 1999, when Nathan Maloney was first introduced as one of the central characters of Channel 4’s brazen new show, Queer as Folk, he was just 15 years old. As HBO’s ‘ Looking’ continues to divide critical opinion, Alan Lambert looks back at the mother of all gay television shows, and asks if it’s still relevant today.
