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.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 dicks 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.… Expand

Parts are funny, but overall I can't relate to the character and wish she would grow up. Very juvenile.

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 life...as if no one had done this before. Maybe those young presumptuous artists should watch Woody Allen or just simply do bad stand-up. YAWN… Expand

This show is great and stands out from other comedies through the singular voice of fleabag as well as its commitment to the jokes.

In this second season, Phoebe Waller-Bridge gift us one of the best comedy examples on TV this century with a reflexive point of view about love and aging without losing the fresh of the queen of comedy writing these days.

A comedy-drama in the true sense, Fleabag can be laugh out loud funny one moment and incredibly depressing the next yet it all fits together brilliantly thanks to Waller-Bridge’s writing and acting skill. It can be a little dark, and rather rude, in places so won’t be for everyone but this is one of the BBC’s best series of recent years.… Expand

Skilful and substantial, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is exhaling her views, you might have know this subject before too, but she makes sure, you never went this far.

Fleabag Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the creator, the blood and dust, the whole crowd,Skilful and substantial, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is exhaling her views, you might have know this subject before too, but she makes sure, you never went this far.

Fleabag

Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the creator, the blood and dust, the whole crowd, of the game, is practically confessing. The honesty, often similar to Lena Dunham's Girls, is the aspect that grounds this exaggerated cut-throat world that we all crave for. The writing is sharp, there is no denying that, but shot like a film, the execution is erotically beautiful especially, when it comes to balance the drama with the absurdity, that it, without failing, wishes to achieve so gleefully. No matter how sensitive and deeply personal an issue grows, the mockery is a part of how these characters breathe

Plus, all the family drama that comes in every now and then, brimmed with sarcastic comments that casts quite a contradiction in its taste; the loud subtlety is the language which looks easily addictive and raunchy. The series also breaks the fourth wall which ironically, despite its vocab, it follows less Ryan Reynolds's Deadpool version and more Guy Ritchie's Sherlock-ian theory. The narrator is often questioned and after getting used to it, the switched authority is both fascinating and engaging. Personally, the motivational piece of ingredient in here is to be confident and brave enough to be persuasive in your manner.

For instance, pointing out the elephant, is the theme of the party, then you shouldn't be afraid to rattle your audience with repetition and expressive innuendos. Waller-Bridge is never afraid to do so, she will scrape off one more layer if it can tantalise you. And then there is always that slapstick humor at the back of your pocket, to block these calls from being a cheap shot; calculatively provocative and never manipulative. Fleabag, the last likeable person for us to be rooting for, is pretty much like a character from any gangsta film, the character begs for empathy as much as you get to know her, error is her crown and sarcasm her main weapon.… Expand
