Vincent Franklin as Henry in Russell T Davies’s new drama Cucumber Photo: Channel 4
Are you still bummed about the news that HBO’s series, Looking, has been canceled? Perhaps you should set your DVRs to record the UK Channel 4 series Cucumber and Banana, which started this past Monday on Logo TV.
Cucumber centers around Henry Best, a 46-year-old insurance executive from Manchester, England who suffers a midlife crisis after he has a meltdown when he and his partner bring home a third person from the bars.
The one hour dramedy Cucumber and its half-hour companion, Banana, which follows immediately on Logo was very funny this week and has me hooked. The show is from Russell Davies who showcased Manchester more than a decade ago in his UK hit series Queer as Folk. However, where Queer as Folk focused on men in their teens to late 20s; Cucumber picks up the stories of gay Manchester a generation later. Set your DVRs to record – Locally Logo TV is channel 281.

We will have to disagree on this – I watched it before on my illegal DVD Region 2 player – I thought calling the police in the first episode was a bot to queeny meany for my tastes.
Bring back Queer As Folk with new episodes!!!!!
