Cucumber.

[arsenal]

I missed this when it first showed up in 2015, it's by Russel T Davies. He smashed the window with QaF and Cucumber continues the ram raid.

Centred around 46 year old gay man Henry Best and those who reside or venture into his life. Full of full on sex scenes but it's the dialogue that is the real star. Davies takes us from laughter to thoughtful to melancholy within a few sentences. He knows his audience. The references to the characters past will resonate with us all. Packed with little vignettes (episode 4 takes a bow to Hopper's Nighthawks) it snaps along. For me it hits the peak with the trysts that for whatever reason just don't work out. I've had a fair few of those and handling them can be a nightmare. Overall once again with Davies it's an enhanced and stylised version of a world that exists briefly but it's his knowledge of the human spirit's workings and weaknesses that sets him apart. Recommended.
