Synopsis

Leap Years is a 2001 drama television series that aired on the Showtime cable network. The show was created by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman, who had created the American version of the series Queer as Folk. It followed a group of friends in New York City. Set in the main in 2001, the show was uniquely structured as a series of flashbacks to 1993 and flashforwards to the then-near future 2008.

Clevercell Very disappointing...
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
tex-42 This show has one of the more original premise attached to it, five friends and their relationship over 15 years, only it is presented to us as a series of flash forwards and flashbacks from 1993 to 2001 to 2008. The show itself is somewhat weak in that the characters are generally stereotypes (the whiny rich Jewish guy, the diva who becomes a victim of her ego and greed, the arty gay guy, the poor kid who makes good only to become what he used to despise) but the actors do a fairly good job of fleshing them out. The plots can be a tad confusing if you are just catching an episode with all the jumps forward and back, but once you catch a couple of episodes things become clear.
elizaj3 I have to disagree with the other comments posted here.The first episode, I was intruiged. By the second, I was hooked. Finding out where these characters will go (or how they got there) is like turning the pages of great book. There are parts of these characters - or who they were at different times in their lives - that we can all relate to. Besides that, the acting is wonderful, and the chemistry between the actors works. I hope this show gets the attention it deserves.
Pegasus-10 In a recurring series it's important to actually have main characters that the audience likes, and this bunch isn't very likable. Campos (who was the best thing about 'Jesse') and Garbiras are -- as actors, but their characters are also tiresome. The gimmick of jumping back and forth in time also wears thin, and makes skipping an episode no big deal since the story is already so disjointed.
awjonesjr The premise for this series sounded pretty interesting: five people have their stories told as the timeline jumps forward and backward, giving us insight into where they were and where they are headed. But the potential for something fun and unique is basically squandered by pretty standard storytelling and plots: The nebbishy Jewish guy, the confused arty homosexual, the career-obsessed lawyer, the trashy actress. The plotlines are fairly standard, the flashforwards (to 2008) are generally uninventive as futurism, and while the acting is generally adequate, it doesn't excite your interest and make you want to come back. The show should be given a chance to develop, but it needs to make substantial strides quickly if it wants to gin up the loyalty of Queer as Folk or Sex and the City.
