I, myself, loved series one of Noah's Arc. I don't have LOGO, so I waited for series one to come out on DVD. I stayed up a whole night and watched everything on the three discs. Even the special features disc. I loved every single minute of Noah's Arc. It made me laugh at and almost made me cry. Me being the strong person that I am, I was surprised. All of the characters were great. But my favorites were Jensen Atwood B.K.A. Wade and Darryl Stephens B.K.A. Noah. They were a really good couple. I loved how Wade took Noah to the bar with him. It showed that he didn't care at all. He was letting his boys, and most importantly, Noah know that they had to accept it or not accept it. I love a man who has just come out of the closet and gets the nerve to bring their feminine boyfriend around the fellas. That does something to me. The DVD series was so good that it had me want to get up and try and make a show about me and my 3 friends. We put ourselves in the show. I am Alex, my friend Tammy is Noah, my friend Bianca is Ricky and my friend Hollywood is Chance. I can see a little of us in those characters. I just loved the show and would love to be apart of something so positive for black homosexuals.

Noah's Arc is a show about four black gay men dealing with all sorts of human issues dealt not just within the gay community, but within every community. Noah, played by Darryl Stephens, is a wallflower, screenwriter type who is looking for the perfect love in Wade. Wade, played by Jensen Atwood, is also a screenwriter who has never been in a relationship with a man, until he met Noah. Noah has three friends. Alex, played by Rodney Chester, who runs an HIV clinic and is going through the ups and downs of being in a long term relationship. Ricky, played by Christian Vincent, is the promiscuous store owner on Melrose, who is protective over his friends and afraid of monogamy. Chance, played by Doug Spearman, is a college professor, who is adjusting to the idea of having a husband and raising a child. Each one of these actors are tailor made for their parts on this show. I know the show is not for everyone, and it's not claiming to be for everyone. But if your into watching a show dealing with human beings with human issues that remind you of yourself or someone you know, I guarantee you'll love this show. Patrik Ian Polk has done an amazing job creating a show that incorporates comedy, drama and lust in a time frame of 22 minutes. I just wish the show was longer. I really hope that this show continues to grow and stays on the air for a very long time. In 2006, its about time someone like Patrik Ian Polk had the guts to say screw the masses and create a show as groundbreaking as Noah's Arc. This is a great wake up call for all people.

This show sucks. It gives the impression that all gay men of color are effeminate, oversexed queens. QUEER AS FOLK portrayed some of the characters as masculine, normal men who have the same issues as straight. Anyway, there are gay men of color who are masculine. Unless they told you they are gay, you would not know it. As for this dreck, like the daytime soap PASSIONS, it should be cancelled. I could relate more to the men appearing in gay porn than the over the top characters on this show. I do not care about these characters. Noah, the effeminate queen. Dicky, the nymphomaniac. Alex, the gossipy drama queen. Change, the sexually repressed twit. I say that YOUNG AND RESTLESS' Phyllis should run them over with her car.

Say it doesn't represent you if you like, I have yet to see a positive image of two black men in love on TV anywhere. The series, unlike the pilot, alternates between touching and melodramatic. Possibly one of the best series ever and the best representation of black gay love ever done, period.And not just because it's the only one, I've seen plenty of grab and grope movies, this show is sweet and thoughtful in its main storyline. THe characters aren't convicts forced to fall in love because they're aren't any women around, a common theme in some gay black films. They aren't both terrified of who they are. They come into their own love and accept it for what it is, besides Noahs' idiocy in the season finale.All in all, one of the best love stories I've seen and I can't wait to see where it goes. I hope it actually gives us a happy ending.
