For those looking to revisit (or discover) this pivotal season, Queer as Folk is currently available for streaming on and Pluto TV (with ads) in the United States. It is also available for digital purchase on Apple TV , Amazon Prime Video , and Vudu/Fandango . Beware of the heavily edited syndicated versions that cut vital scenes for time; seek out the uncut DVD or streaming versions to experience the full emotional impact of the finale’s closing dance.
These two get the most oddly satisfying closure. After a disastrous attempt at a polyamorous relationship with a wealthy older man, Emmett ends the series single but fulfilled—running the newly rebuilt Babylon. Ted, after hitting rock bottom (again), finds genuine redemption with Blake. Their final scene, watching the rebuild of Babylon, is quietly optimistic. Queer As Folk - Season 5
