Ok, so I am looking for some DVD purchase recommendations for Christmas. The shows listed are from season 1 (i.e. I have not seen them or seen only an odd episode here and there) unless otherwise indicated.

My criteria are: it should be good, it should be edgy (i.e. should have some thing that sets it apart and makes it unusual) and it should have at least some gay appeal (I am not saying it needs to be Queer As Folk, but there should be at least some gay character(s) or otherwise appeal to gay sensibilities). :P

Examples of other shows I liked (not listed) are: Queer As Folk, Torchwood, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City.

Edit: You can choose up to 3 options. :)

Should you be celebrating Christmas, Marti?  Baby Jesus hates TEH GAYS.  :(

OTOH Jews are indifferent on gays and love lesbos, so maybe celebrate Chanukkah?  :bowler:

the wire has two of the coolest gay characters i've ever seen in any show.

one of them is closeted and you'd hardly know it unless you were paying attention to an episode far into the series  :D

I voted for Entourage and The Wire. As for gay characters, in Entourage you have a gay sarcastic Mono:



While in The Wire you have a badass gay negro:

Voted The Wire, Dexter and Entourage, as those seem the best from the episodes I've gathered.

Unfortunatelly I think that you will pick Glee wich I had the misfortune of seeing a few minutes yesterday. :bleeding:

Of the ones on your list, Mad Men is a must-see for sure.

There's even gay shit in it and everything.

BUMP  :mad:

Why the angry face? Making too much of an effort bumping the thread?

Glee is absolutely horrible as show.  The writers just lumped every Teenage High School Cliche together.  The singing numbers are nice, check them out on Youtube or something but do not subject yourself to it.
