    Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City" originated as a column in a San Francisco newspaper. With interesting characters whose lives are strangely interwoven, the story is fascinating and Maupin has a way of building to explosive revelations. In video form, the stories are grouped into three series: Tales of the City, More Tales of the City, and Further Tales of the City. All three are casted well (though some actors change) and are extremely well-presented. While the first series is undoubtedly the best, both sequels are very much worthwhile, and the nudity in "Further Tales" didn't bother me at all. After each series, I found myself missing these characters. If you appreciate a rich story line, start from the beginning and don't miss a minute.

    A disapointing sequel to an enjoyable tales of the city. More nudity and more sex do not make for more content and more story.

    Doesn't come close to the original (PBS?) version. Way too much Showtime s*x and nudity just for the shock value of s*x and nudity.
