It is, in short, an immaculately scripted (by Waller-Bridge) and performed (by everyone) half-hour – certainly up there with the best of the first series, and probably up with the best of TV comedy-drama entire.

What could’ve been a cash-in from Waller-Bridge, the writer and producer behind BBC America’s sleeper hit Killing Eve, turns out to be a masterpiece.

The new season feels immediately confident, if inevitably less groundbreaking. Yet it continues to push its form. ... It remains an original.

“Fleabag” has callbacks to the first season’s revelation and an ending that’s so perfect it really should be in a textbook for comedy writers.

Season 2 is much more open in every way.

With the characters and their histories now mostly clear to the audience, the story moves along a somewhat less bold, more conventional path compared to last season, which constantly doubled back by recontextualizing and reexamining itself. Despite this more straightforward approach, though, the series still boasts Waller-Bridge’s unmistakable voice and her witty, resonant characterizations.

Fleabag the character is as brilliantly funny, damaged and wholly original as when we last saw her, but the show's purpose and direction feel less sharp here (and since there are no plans for a third season, that's how it will go out).

The best thing I've seen in my life. 12/10

Watched both seasons on bbc iPlayer did prefer the first season as found this one to be more annoying.

Not funny. Not sure what the appeal of this one is. Watched a few episodes and didn't even smirk.

Painfully, deeply unfunny. I think the people raving over this show should take a drug test. This is just gross, crude, crap. I can't believe the hype this stupid show got. The worst thing is when someone finds out I like British shows, and they ask me if I've seen this. I have to be polite and pretend I haven't when what I really want to do is scream I HATE THAT SHOW IT'S STUPID AND SO ARE YOU FOR LIKING IT!

I watched Fleabag thinking it's gonna be something like The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. A comedy series with a female lead who is funny, and has social commentary about how people behave. I had already thought that this is going to be very good. The thumbnail of her crying with her mascara coming out made it seem like it's gonna be something emotional too. But it turns out this was a hot pile of garbage. The moment it began with Fleabag trying to be relatable saying, "You know how it feels when you have a one night stand with someone and then realise he's not the kind of a person who you were thinking and something something kissing sex sex?" Yeah sure, who doesn't know how that feels like? It's something that happens everyday, right? I thought it was meant to say unrelatable things in such a way that it seems relatable, but it turns out it wasn't that, because later on she keeps speaking like this the whole show. The only thing this serial talks about is banging. There's Fleabag who only keeps thinking about sex, there's the stepmother who makes **** on the wall, there's Fleabag's boyfriend who keeps texting her to send pictures of genitals because he's horny (seriously, who asks for genitals on being horny?). Her sister is horny, her friends are horny, everyone she dates is horny. No one even thinks logically. Fleabag ruins his mother's party in the last episode because...? There are occasional funny scenes like in the beginning of Season 2 where she says her dad is dead but then says he's alive. There are 6 episodes in each season, each episode being less than half an hour which begs the question why is this even a series and not a film. I just ended up wasting time. So overall there's no character development, no humour, no story, no world building, no logic. Just sex jokes. There's nothing worthwhile to watch in this pile of garbage. It doesn't have anything that will carry on with you, something you could look back to. You know how much I hated it considering I have never given a 0 star review to any show before.
