Russell T. Davies’ controversial twin gay dramas Cucumber and Banana both screened their respective finales last night, and as with many episodes of the season, viewer reaction was fiercely divided.

A viewer’s response to the Cucumber finale: “Oh god, I AM Henry!”

It’s been a dramatic season, with [SPOILER ALERT!] the brutal death of Lance several episodes ago shocking many viewers. Last night’s finale ended with a flash-forward six years into the future, and a surprising final line delivered by the middle-aged Henry: “I might come to terms with it,” he says. “Being gay.”

Many on Twitter lauded the finale, describing it as ‘bold’ and ‘brilliant’:

Congratulations & huge thanks to Russell T Davies for his brilliant TV trilogy: #Cucumber, #Banana & #Tofu. Awesome. @TheWriterOfPain

Thanks to Channel 4 and RTD for the wonderful #Cucumber – it absorbed me, made me argue, think, laugh, infuriated and amused. Rich & good.

However, others labelled the finale a ‘disappointing’ end to the series:
