Cucumber (2015) was a wild ride from start to finish. The first few episodes were mostly cringe but it's RTD on his Queer as Folk type shit so I was expecting it. I felt like it took until Henry's convo with the guy in the café before we actually got to see some of what the heart and soul of the story was supposed to be. That was the first turning point for me.

Then the Lance thing happened and I did not even remotely see it coming. Obviously you figure it's gonna go badly but like that? I wasn't expecting it at all. It sort of jolted me out of my casual watching experience. After that it's like, all the cringe shit starts to make sense. And then the final line of the final episode is so perfect. I guess you're supposed to kind of pick up on where Henry's issues come from before this point, but the final line spells it out for you.

I ended up feeling totally gutpunched by the whole thing after that. Sometimes you just wonder what the fuck RTD is doing but then it always makes sense eventually. What a genius weirdo.

RTD is such a unique writer/showrunner. He brings his personal perspective to most of his projects and he's always trying to get people out of their comfort zone. Can you imagine queer tv without him?? Crazy what he's been able to accomplish.

Oh and, yeah. Con O'Neill was in this show lmao. He injects his character with such vibrant personality in every single scene and it's a joy to watch. I'm sure he probably shares a lot of perspective with RTD (and Cliff) in terms of being queer in the 80s and 90s and idk, maybe it's silly to think about that while watching but I feel like it makes it feel way more personal.
