Fleabag

Crafting a compelling show is an art form in itself. Narrating a story using color, camera angles, dialogue, and performances constitutes an art form, irrespective of whether viewers recognize it as such.

"Fleabag" is undeniably a pinnacle of television artistry, weaving emotions through its use of color, camera work, dialogue, and acting. The show's ability to evoke a range of feelings from tragedy to comedy is reminiscent of a masterful painting. Central to its brilliance is the ingenious use of the fourth wall, drawing viewers into Fleabag's world and allowing for personal interpretation.

Critics dismissing this technique as a mere 'gimmick' fail to appreciate its integral role in elevating the show to a work of art. While the first season may have felt experimental, by the second season, "Fleabag" finds its stride, introducing compelling new characters and showcasing stellar performances from the cast.

One of the show's strengths lies in its pacing; it never drags, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating each episode while avoiding the fatigue that can come with overstaying its welcome. Ultimately, "Fleabag" is a sensational piece of television that leaves audiences craving more, a testament to its artful storytelling and unforgettable characters.

I watched the first episode together with my wife and she hated it from the beginning, while I instantly loved it! This special sort of humor is always highly divisive. Either you love it or you hate it. In my experience for shows like Fleabag there's no such ratings like "quite entertaining and funny at times"! Phoebe Waller-Bridge is incredibly talented in so many ways, I can't tell what's more adorable about her work in Fleabag: the acting, the uncommon storytelling, the firework of weird gags...? Everything is fresh and unique. I really hope there's much more coming from her in the future, both as actress and as writer!

Phoebe Waller-Bridge, I don't quite know how you do it dear but keep it up. As a 50 year old bloke this should be well off the mark for me but instead I find it by far the funniest, well observed and at times poignant thing on TV at the moment. Season 2 has hit the ground running and I am hanging on for every episode. Do yourselves a favour and binge this. Thanks to all involved with the production of this series.

I've rarely seen anything this funny, and there it is....half an hour of non-stop laughter.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is hysterical as she constantly shares both her innermost and her totally superficial feelings with the audience, even while she's having sex. She is totally bizarre, as are the entire supporting cast, and they won't allow you to stop laughing.

If they can keep up the energy levels of the first two episodes, they will have a major hit on their hands.

I had such a good time watching this, and I can't wait for the next episode.

Don't pass this by. It's one of the best shows TV has to offer.

Enjoy!

Not my typical cup of tea. Watched an episode with no intent and before I knew it I was smiling. Then laughing. Phoebe has amazing comedic talent. Even an old guy like me can recognize her talent. Quirky, irreverent, intelligent humor. Not something in abundance here in the states.
