DVD Reviews of Bob & Rose - The Complete Series
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
A gay man and a straight woman (think Will & Grace in the UK) meet and do the unthinkable -- they fall in love! Rose is down to earth, straightforward and funny. Then she meets Bob, a teacher, who's certainly not expecting to meet someone like Rose. In their hearts they know they're doing the right thing, but everyone around them thinks they're crazy. Are they hurtling towards the biggest heartache ever? From Russell T. Davies, the creator of Britain's version of Queer As Folk. This 2 Disc Set contains the complete six-part 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 naïve 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
