Not watched either but I don't like how in shows they try to make a gay man all feminine .. we are not all like that so it's unfair

Queer As Folk is a LOT WORSE in terms of representation.
It's also a terrible program in terms of quality. Borderline unwatchable!

Its representation really is horrible but that doesn't seem to get brought up much.

I think they represent specific aspects of certain eras in homosexuality. But neither is a genuine depiction of the real picture.

They're both rather abhorrent.
