    Diagonaldi Very well executed
    Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
    Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
    Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
    ewalker2907 I am a straight, married mother, and i just love this show. i stumbled onto it by accident but was immediately hooked on the fine men..and i do mean fine. My first episode was Noah being gay bashed and he and Wade being intimate. From there i checked the listings in order to get more details. Since then i have ordered the 1st season on DVD and watch it daily!! But I cant seem to find out when season 3 will begin. And also if anyone can please tell me how to find some of the music from the episodes i would really appreciate it. I have searched and searched but can not find any information as to the titles or the artists of the music in each episode.
    JWhitley86 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.
    stseanoftheknife I understand the need for there to be more visible queer black characters in the forefront of queer media. Even Queer as Folk which broke so much ground in terms of the gay soap opera was still mighty white. So, while I applaud LOGO for their presentation of Noah's Arc, I have to ask, even though there is a need, does this show answer the need? I found the show to be interesting, but the plot holes and lack of structure (ironic considering the titular character is a writer) to be annoying, too annoying to appreciate the more charming moments (but only moments) the show had.Among the annoyances were: *Who IS Trey? Hot guy, but completely under utilized in his role. For all it matters, Alex could be single. And why does he have to be a nurse? He could be a pilot or a waiter or the CEO of Sony or a parrot for all that he does each episode. Same thing with Brandy - what a GREAT character to add to the mix. Someone sassy and all LA Business, but she's just a vehicle for Noah to have a "secret" from Wade.* Why are plot points brought up and then never used again? For example, the guy robbing Ricky's store while he's getting busy in back would make a great plot for Ricky to deal with - calling the police, having to explain where he was, having him come to some realization and grow as a character. Nope - it was dropped. Or Fernando, the HIV+ hustler whose only role was to serve as a vehicle for Alex quitting his job to open a new clinic. What happened to Fernando - he's a character, a character that Alex could have used to grow as a character himself, not a plot device.*The pacing seems all off in the show. For example, when Chance moves in with Eddie we get no information about how they met, what they mean to each other, how they came to the decision to move in together - yet within 5 minutes, Chance is trying to back out of the living together situation. Why? If we assume it's "for the regular reasons" well then this main character is just a shmuck - and a two-dimensional one at that; if there's a more compelling reason, I'd like to see it acted out. Also, what was up with Chance and his landlord? They act like they are very close but we don't know why or if we should even care.*Why does it take less than an episode to solve problems? No problem seems .. well, problematic. Nor do they really seem all that important. Dive an SUV into a house? No problem - it's built like a tank (not a scratch on it) and the resident doesn't want to press charges. Closested boyfriend brings you to meet his straight friends for the first time? No problem - order an apple martini and cut to the next scene. Let the audience figure out what might have happened. Closeted boyfriend jealous of your best friend's playfulness? No problem - ignore what he's feeling and make sure that in the next scene he puts his arms around you first.I blame two things - weak writing and the show's 30 minute running time. If the show were an hour long, there would be much more time to develop not only the characters but conflicts and the resolutions as well. If the writers were stronger they'd be able to navigate the characters' way through real, interesting daily life conflicts and resolutions without such abruptness.The idea behind Noah's Arc answers the need for diversity in queer entertainment and may be "better than nothing", but I think the community deserves "something more". The rub between the need for this show and its sloppy execution of this show makes me hope that others will cry out for better quality in future seasons.
    dancesistah4 set design, lighting and wardrobe are outstanding! among the best on broadcast or cable. hopefully the production will submit for awards. hair and makeup should also be noted. the casting is oh so thoughtful but what else would be expected from a native mississippian? something about that part of the south breeds thoughtfulness in artistic expression, at least to me. content, as other commentators have noted is indeed groundbreaking and this show has the potential to build bridges and tolerance. most people who are uncomfortable with gay people don't know any, at least none who live in truth. let's hope logo holds onto it and gives it solid (and thoughtful!) marketing and pr support. everybody who's a fan take note of the show's advertisers and let them know you appreciate their courage and good taste.(well, i am watching the ads now...enzyte and guys gone wild...but still the courage part can still apply...)
