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.

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 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

Excellent and original. The cast, writing and directing is simply superb. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
