DVD Reviews of Bob & Rose - The Complete Series
DVD Review: YAWN
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to disagree strongly with the rave reviews. (The number of low-priced "new and used" offerings seem to indicate this is not a five star winner.)
It's not actively bad, but very, very dull. Flat, uninteresting characters doing very little and seemingly taking forever to do it. Maybe a half hour of actual plot in the whole series.
DVD Review: Love this series
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this series and after I understood its origins I loved it even more. No one would ever think a gay guy could fall in love with a woman and this series causes you to think outside that tight little box.DVD Review: Good On All Fronts
Summary: 5 Stars
As American TV becomes more and more obnoxious, it's been a delight to discover British TV goodies and this is one of the best among them. Well written, well acted, with interesting charcters who look and act like people in real life. HIghly recommended.DVD Review: Excellent mini-series
Summary: 5 Stars
Bob & Rose had me very entertained. I love the way the English use real looking people and human interest in their shows. DVD Review: Interesting character study
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this recently on the Logo channel and was intrigued for two reasons. First the subject matter and second because it was written by Russell T.Davies who was responsible for reviving Doctor Who this year which I loved.
Was this show successful? Pretty much. The chemistry between the two leads was good and I liked the writing. I also enjoyed the parents of Bob and Rose yet you really never are given definite answers what happens to them in the end. I'm glad it was only a limited series because I dont think it would have held up over a year or two. The problems I had with it were the character that was trying to break Bob and Rose up (I don't remember her name). She was a stock bad guy who you didn't feel any empathy for at all so when she redeems herself at the end, you wonder, why does everyone forgive her just like that. Why didn't she get what she deserves?
The second problem I had with it was Bob, though not really changing his sexuality, but giving it up for a Woman. How fair is that to either party? I've read there was a lot of controversey about this when it first aired from gay men who belived that this was portraying Homosexuality as something that could be cured.
It can not.
In the end, I dont see that it explored that particular subject as well as it could but was enteretained never the less.
Description of Bob & Rose - The Complete Series
Love conquers all in the radiant Bob & Rose, a six-part British series about an unorthodox romance that quickly gets under a viewer's skin. Bob Gossage (comedian-actor Alan Davies) is a thoroughly gay, Manchester schoolteacher who falls for Rose (Lesley Sharp), a vibrant secretary stuck with a boyfriend she doesn't love and a na?ve mother bent on marrying a creepy con artist. Bob and Rose's bumpy, inexplicable affair has its share of doubts, and there are many rules to be re-written (Rose stands by her man whenever he insists that he's gay, not bi-sexual).Yet these two know, instinctively, they are meant to grow up and out of their respective singles scenes (straights on one end of a club-dominated street, gays on the other end), no matter how painful their course or how often friends attempt to sabotage them. Davies and Sharp fully inhabit the rich characters created by writer Russell T. Davies, creator of the original, British version of Queer as Folk. This is a rewarding, lovely series, highly recommended. --Tom Keogh
