Anyone else watched it? Cleverly written and Phoebe Waller Bridge breaks the third wall better than anyone. Also is Andrew Scott on every British television show? Dude is everywhere. Must be swimming in money and pussy.

I watched the first three episodes. That gal is so fricking unlikable, I couldn't get through the rest of it.

S1 is good.

S2 is fantastic.

S2 is masterful. Speaking of Phoebe Waller Bridge, I started Killing Eve last night. I believe she was the lead writer, and it is a complete departure from Fleabag, but still pretty damn good. It is a pretty serious Assassin/MI6 drama (though there is some quirk). I like everything about it, except for Sandra fricking Oh.

I was thinking this too in Season 1. I thought the show was clever and funny but I despised her. She was just an awful, selfish, whore.

I'm 2 episodes into Season 2 and she's already way more likable and more like a redeemable human being.

Seems unlikely as he is gay.

Were about two episodes from the end. Trying to stretch it out since it’s only a 2 season series (and it goes fast).

Olivia Coleman is fantastically passive aggressive as her future step-mother.

It really is, perfect start and finish to the season.

I understand the "she's unlikable" reaction, I debated pulling the plug somewhere around episode 3 of season 1. But addressing this is the whole strength of the series. It does have a very serious side to it.

The writing is fantastic when you pay attention to it. Lots of symbolism (the statue, the painting, the fox). The characters take a few episodes to get a feel for but are great and very well acted.

"Where did you go?" - greatness.

It was interesting that most of the characters don't even have names, including Fleabag, the father, the stepmother, the sweary priest.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has written the James Bond movie they're shooting now.


If I ran Amazon, I would just give her a blank check to do whatever the hell she wants next -- Fleabag 3, a new series, anything. You gotta figure if you don't do it, HBO, Netflix, Hulu or someone else will.

It is more of a play than a TV show. When the priest started calling her out when she broke the 4th wall I lost my shite. Her breaking the wall had become kind of stale, and then they turned it on its head with his reaction to her. Really, really good show.

Hope not. He was the worst thing about Sherlock.

I fricking HATE olivia Coleman, and damn near every character she’s played on British tv. Especially her character in fleabag. She’s good, don’t get me wrong, but I fricking hate her.
