This British television series has been a sensation wherever it's played and has finally arrived in South Florida.  It marks a watershed in on-screen representations of gay people, and has broken small-screen boundaries with its sexual frankness and its realistically complex gay characters and themes.  Set largely in Manchester's gay village, the plot spins around three main characters.  Stuart is rich, arrogant, drop-dead gorgeous and always the center of attention.  Vince is Stuart's working-class best friend,  cute yet reserved in his charm and extremely insecure when it comes to love and sexual adventures.  Then there's Nathan, the 15 year-old high school lad, determined to get a sex life, yet uncertain of the adult world.  When Stuart spots Nathan sitting alone outside a club one night, the story is set in motion. As the series follows the lives of these three men, it also weaves in a compelling mix of other personalities, including Romey and Lisa, two true-to-life lesbian characters, who's new-born son has Stuart as his gay dad.
