Logo should be commended for creating a drama about gay black men as one of it's premiere series. Noah's Arc not only challenges stereotypes about minorities (in and out of the gay community), but portrays African-American in a positive light.
Episodes of Noah's Arc were highly anticipated; however, the story lines could have been stretched a little further- perhaps throughout two episodes or a full hour. Overall, Noah's Arc is a must see and positive addition to gay TV.

The Characters
Noah
Noah is a struggling screenwriter and hopeless romantic. He's dating a bi curious guy named Wade. Alex, Ricky and Chance, Noah's best friends, aren't too pleased with his choice of man, but are always there for him.
Alex
Alex is a HIV/AIDS outreach worker who starts his own clinic. Alex's live in boyfriend, Trey, is a nurse at a local hospital. Their relationship has its ups and downs. At the end of season one, we see this relationship at its lowest. Trey is leaving to go to Africa for outreach work. Will their seemingly stable relationship survive?
Ricky
Not only does Ricky own his own clothing store, but he's addicted to sex. Ricky is content being promiscuous until he ends up in the hospital with a nasty virus. Luckily the virus isn't HIV, but Ricky did catch something he didn't bargain for- a liking to Junito, a volunteer doctor at Alex's clinic.
