<![CDATA[Cucumber]]>First episode aired Thursday night.  Has anyone seen and have an opinion?

I have it ready to go & plan to watch as it airs (as opposed to the binge that still hasn't materialized for Season 1 of Looking).  Hopefully later today I see it for myself.

As for Cucumber I just don't care what happens.

! arrest scene would certainly be placed in the unexpected category.  Second  episode's
! false accusations and
! loss of employment were not where I saw this going and so I have deemed it pleasureable.  I am fickle tho, one little bit could quickly sour me on the whole thing (I am looking at you Lost ending, Highway to the House on the Prairie) BUT next time I block out some television time for myself Cucumber 3 is first up on the dock.  Banana is still on the dock but, well, you know, there is an awful lot of television to enjoy these days.  I am currently 2 episodes behind on Broadchurch & I really would like to finish The Leftovers.

I then realised I felt no empathy or sympathy with any of the characters.

Probably my fault. Haven't watch Bananas 3 yet but last week's was better than Cucumber.

It may just be me.

My choice tonight is between Broadchurch and Looking 🙂

I am not caught up on Looking and can't get enough of Broadchurch so easy call there!

I like the concept of an ancillary story & your giving it a smile raises my hopes.  You may be held accountable  :afr:

Watched Banana this afternoon and it made me smile. I watched Tofu online and you will miss nothing if you don't watch. But it is here, not very big and only 12 minutes of your time 🙂

My general distaste for the current Dr. Who showrunner Moffat is so strong I was letting it cloud my judgement on Davies which as well as being unfair also has no logical connection.  To give me some credit Davies was responsible for Miracle Day but all is forgiven for that mess or at least forgotten.
