The first series is very good (by any measure not just the snarky ‘for an ITV show’) and I came to it late. It’s quite a true representation of a certain part of the UK. The second series got a bit too fraught (I stopped watching after around the 3rd episode) and the third has just started but I’ve neither seen it or seen any reviews.
Olivia Coleman is a really wonderful actress with a broad range (my favourite performance is in Hot Fuzz) and David Tennant also very good. I’d suggest a look at Rev or Taking over the Asylum as obscure Brit tv shows they have shone in respectively.
Fleabag was excellent and I’ll look forward to the second series.
This is a great show to watch with your lady friend or wife, just because it’s fun to see where they laugh.
Thanks to this thread, my girlfriend and I watched this season together (in two sittings earlier this year), and we loved it equally. She was laughing out loud at stuff I wasn’t picking up on, just because of the women’s perspective thing.
Is anyone else watching season 2 because man… it’s awesome!
I wasn’t sure if they (she?) could manage to keep the momentum up with a 2nd season but my fears were unfounded. It’s every bit as sharp and witty as the first. Really great stuff.
I am. I’m very curious where they’re going to go with the reveal or whatever you want to call it at the end of ep. 3. I presume it’s metaphorical rather than metatextual, but who knows.
Wow this was so good. Season 2 does a good job of bookending 1 and feeling like a complete story. Sad we won’t see more, but very pleased with what was written and performed.
