Three related Channel 4 series by the creator of QAF. The titles refer to degrees of hardness of the member, from soft (tofu) through peeled and unpeeled banana, all the way to Cucumber! The main storyline is in Cucumber, Banana is supposedly a series of standalone stories that may or may not involve people from Cucumber, and then Tofu is a "behind the scenes" or making of" meta comment.

Or so it seems from what I've read and seen so far. I have not yet caught up with the gaybashing episode, which is almost de rigeur these days but which sounds more shocking than most. Am not sure what balance they seek between comedy or light-hearted playfulness and more serious and emotionally fraught events.

If anyone actually were interested in a running discussion of the shows, this might be a good place for it, if Moderators have no objection and no better idea. Having only begun to follow along, I am hardly fit to make even these general remarks.

And then there is Looking, with Russell Tovey, Jonathan Groff (both gay actors), and Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap, NCIS New Orleans) among others. Seems to capture the unlikely reality of San Francisco and the Castro district in particular. That's a show I follow more closely.

Thank you! 😄 😉

I like Cucumber but I'm not a huge fan of some of the characters, which hampers my enjoyment. Banana's been really good so far. Tofu is really disappointing, though as soon as I heard it was made by Benjamin Cook rather than Russell Davis, it made a lot of sense to me as to why there was such a huge difference in quality.

Cucumber, for me, is good in parts
Banana, I'm finding really good
Tofu just embarasses me but I watch because it is part of the series
