Russell T Davies' Tip Toe

As some people here know, I'm an unapologetic Russell T. Davies fan (maybe ironically, although I enjoyed the early stuff, the one TV project of his I've lost any interest in is the Who stuff.) Ever since seeing the original Queer as Folk when I spent 6 months in the UK at 18 when it first aired, I've watched basically everything and even the lesser stuff have enjoyed. It sounds weird because he has some writing tropes (every series has at least one long politically minded rant monologue) that I'm not a fan of, and he's not remotely subtle, and yet it doesn't bother me with his works.

Anyway, I don't want to give away any spoilers (although, if you can call it a spoiler, there's a big one in the opening flashforward scene) until I've heard from anyone else watching who wants to discuss. Here's what I wrote on FB

Very brief, NO SPOILERS, first impressions on Russell T. Davies' new show, Tip Toe... I love it, but I admit Davies is one of my favourite TV writers, so no surprise there. Still, he's managed to make me actually like an Alan Cumming performance--no small feat! The first episode does have maybe one too many of Davies' bravura long speeches all of his shows have, but by episode two it has really found its rhythm (a good RTD TV episode always leaves me slightly breathless when it's over.) Unlike most of my favourite writers, Davies is never especially subtle. But, as usual with his projects, that feels very warranted for the story he's telling.

Odd release format for the series--it premiered with two episodes, and next week concludes with the final three. Trailer here, though I seem to have forgotten how to imbed them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWIR5sGTVjM
