Queer As FolkSeason 5

13 episodes · May 22, 2005

The new season kicks off with a significant shift: Justin’s moved to Hollywood, seemingly for good, leaving Brian searching for his next big venture – a potentially precarious real estate project called Babylon. While Brian chases opportunity, Michael and Ben find themselves contemplating a major life change, seriously eyeing a move to the suburbs, though their late-night habits might not exactly scream "family-friendly." Adding another layer of complexity, Melanie and Lindsay’s unexpected separation ignites a fierce custody battle with Michael over their daughter. And, in a bid to defy time itself, Ted embarks on an extreme transformation journey.
