Fleabag

I forced my friend to watch this entire show in one sitting, he loved it. Fleabag is an unethical, cynical, reckless, and irresponsible woman, she is, however, incredibly relatable. Her absurd behavior truly is what we all want to do but can't, our deepest impulses. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's ability to convey this accuracy to real-life awkward, sad, and lonely experiences is mindblowing. This show has a way of sticking with you for a very long time after the first watch. It is comforting on one hand, and heartbreaking on the other, with the occasional gut punch of some of the best comedy to come from England since Monty Python. Season 2 Episode 1 is the best first episode of a season ever made, with the whole episode essentially being a dinner scene, it constantly keeps you on your toes, refreshes your memory on the tone of the series subtly, and shows the passing of time from season 1 to season 2 with such ease. I will always come back to this show. Every friend I make in the future will be forced to watch this entire show in one sitting, and they will love it too.

I loved both seasons the first time around, so I recently re-watched it. This time, I was struck by the opportunities for greatness that were lost by failing to follow through on the troubling issues it raises. One would be her failure to even consider changing her behavior after it cost her a friend. It haunts her, but not enough to hesitate before having sex with every guy she encounters, with not a thought about other people their coupling might affect. So of course her guilt rings hollow. Another opportunity comes in Season 2 (which is far better than 1). Never a question about why a priest has to "choose" in the first place. Why? Any intelligent person who follows the requirements of priesthood in that particular church (it isn't required in other ones) would question it - especially if the stakes are high for them personally, and love is in play. No, we just get winks. Sometimes we need more than that. Going a tad deeper doesn't mean truncating the humor. Ms. Waller-Bridge is such a fine writer; I'm sure she could pull it off. Season 3, maybe?

This would have worked SO much better as a movie. There's simply not enough there for it to be stretched out into a series and no one wants to watch such a depressing and awkward show every day after working all day. Shows can certainly have some depressing and awkward moments, but this show is very one-note. On the upside, the acting is rather good.

It's another hugely overrated TV comedy about a self-absorbed, navel-gazing, tortured, neurotic lower middle class woman with assumptions of artistic grandeurs. You can't help to notice that all-too-familiar British fake modesty lurking in the soul of our protagonist. The asides cast at the audience feel forced and belie any attempt at a genuine artistic motivation since real cinematographic artist will convey feelings without resorting to words. What we are left is a comedian trying to make us laugh at her own **** if no one had done this before. Maybe those young presumptuous artists should watch Woody Allen or just simply do bad stand-up. YAWN

Protagonista que se da a odiar desde el primer capitulo, chistes sexuales en exceso y eso que no soy nada puritano. Mensajitos progres aqui y haya en fin, la calidad de la serie en muchos apartados es buena, pero estos dos factores me hacen romper cualquier tipo de conexion que hubiera podido llegar a tener con la serie.
