Television Fleabag

[R.N7]

Anyone else seen this? Six-part BBC Three show, it's light, fun, rude and poignant.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is very charming, lovely and whatnot.

 

[Archie Leach]

I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago but it's still in the queue. Looks good.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

It was a decent enough series. I always enjoy sitcoms with broken and dysfunctional characters. I liked that no matter how awful and selfish the characters were, it was the American who was the worst.

 

[Archie Leach]

Which reminds me I also downloaded Insecure and haven't watched it yet. That looks good too.

 

[De Selby]

Really enjoyed it. Very funny and quite poignant at the end.

Not that I have any experience in the area, but I'd say it's a far more accurate reflection of what it's like to be a 30-something single woman than Bridget Jones or Sex and the City. More charming, too.

 

[Dumbstar]

Good comedy, good writing. Enjoyed it on BBC when it was on.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Seasons 2 episode 1 out. Will give it a watch later

 

[Archie Leach]

First two eps are wonderful. This is one of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

 

[Rhyme Animal]

Is it sexy? I quite fancy the lead actress but have never watched it.

I wouldn't call it a sexy show, but been more than a few times where I've looked at her and thought yeah, deffo would.

 

[R.N7]

Never expected this to get a second series. Nice!

 

[Classical Mechanic]

It isn't sexy by any means. The whole premise of the show is a comedic warts and all depiction of modern femininity. One of the reasons it has been successful is that it chimes with the deconstruction of traditional female gender roles we have seen in recent years.

 

[Wibble]

It is great.

 

[sullydnl]

Caught a bit of this the other day and it looked great.

 

[Adebesi]

Its a very good show.

 

[Sassy Colin]

I suppose it's light-hearted, but I can't say I laughed at all.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Why does this show not get more recognition?

I personally love the nitty gritty shows you tend to find at the deepest corners of BBC 3 on a Friday night, this fits that bill, but with the success of killing eve, im surprised this isnt a lot more popular.

 

[0le]

I've really enjoyed all the episodes. The intro music to the show is also very good.

Its quite different to Killing Eve though. I can see why this show might not do it for everyone, the piece to camera moments might get on some peoples' nerves, for example.

I like both shows but Killing Eve is better IMO.

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

Absolutely incredible show . That finale was absolutely amazing

 

[crappycraperson]

Best TV Show i have seen this year.

 

[Berbaclass]

Yeah, it was quality TBF. Really enjoyed it, watched it pretty recently.

 

[Cheesy]

Watched the first few episodes, very good, got a real energy to it and the writing is superb.

 

[Samid]

Trailer was horrific but will give it a go based on the comments in here.

 

[Melbourne Red]

This is the best fecking comedy I've seen for years.

 

[sullydnl]

First season was great, second was even better. The writing was superb throughout but the season finale was pretty much perfect.

Also helps that the main character (do we call her Fleabag?) has a lovely expressive face.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Just finished watching, I loved it, It's so funny.

 

[GhastlyHun]

We watched both seasons last week, it's very good. Not your standard lighthearted haha-comedy at all, more like a comical drama.

 

[Wibble]

Very good indeed. Shame it is over.

 

[blue blue]

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is hot. It's the way she looks into the camera.

Actually it can't be because when Gentleman Jack does the same thing I just don't get the same feeling.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is hot. Maybe she just looks at me. Has anybody else seen her looking at them.

Perhaps weirdly I think the character is more attractive than the actress herself, despite them looking exactly the same.

I just can't bring myself to watch this Guardianista self-indulgence fest. But then, I'm an idiot.

Do you know Phoebe Waller-Bridge? What's she like in real life? I'm sure she's not as bad as you say.

Perhaps if I gave you my contact details you could put in a kind word for me.

I don't normally stalk celebs but she just connects with me when she looks into …….. well you know.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

I just can't bring myself to watch this Guardianista self-indulgence fest. But then, I'm an idiot.

I liked it but found it irritating at the same time. It's right on but in a very very middle class London type of way. I also found fleabag kind of annoying, especially when she kept breaking the fourth wall.

 

[SteveJ]

I also found fleabag kind of annoying, especially when she kept breaking the fourth wall.

Done well (and sparingly), it's great; otherwise, it's the irritating visual equivalent of 'Needless to say, I had the last laugh'.

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Ive only just got round to watching this, and have to say I loved it. Binge watched all 12 episodes in one. So funny and bitter sweet.

Brilliant show. Absolutely loved it.

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Brilliant show. Absolutely loved it.

I literally can not find anything to criticize

 

[amolbhatia50k]

I literally can not find anything to criticize

I wanted it to be longer but that's usually how it is with shows that don't stretch for the sake of it. One of those shows where the writing is bang on the money. Never a dull/cringey/meh moment.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Its so funny, her (Phoebe) and Michael Coel are ridiculously talented
