It takes a couple of episodes to get accustomed to all the repellent characters that populate this--especially Henry (but after his Stewart in "The Thick of It", Vincent Franklin can certainly be considered to have nailed "repellent"). But then it becomes quite watchable, and it's a lot more interesting than Davies' other famous gay series, "Queer as Folk". Still, ep. 6 is the most compelling one, in part because it focuses on the only remotely likable character (and there's very little Henry).

The first two episodes are a bit weak (mainly because of Henry at the time), the show picks up, and is surprisingly more dramatic than expected. Not the best LGBT series, but pretty gripping after the weak start.
