It would be nice if black gay characters were neatly mixed in with the likes of a Queer As Folk and shows of the like. Since they aren't, Noah's Arc serves as a nice alternative. I was prepared to hate it, but it's nice to see actors who despite varying levels of acting ability, make a truly valiant and earnest effort to bring a voice and three dimension to the lives of gay black men. I rented it and watched the whole thing and fell in love with it's premise of friendship and personality dynamic. I subsequently bought the series and am looking forward to the next season to be released since LOGO is unavailable where I live. My hope is that Noah's Arc will continue to be a hit and reach audiences outside of the "expected" demographic.
