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.
That's a lot coming from someone who didn't cry watching "Grave of fireflies" and "Miracle from cell no.7" types of movie. The show is also really well made, great cinematography, well written and the cast is *chef's kiss. Season 1 made me cry buckets and Season 2 made me smile so much my mouth hurts. Great comfort show to revisit once in a while.
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!

I thought this show was so good I emailed BBC3 to thank them for airing it, and decided to write my first IMDb review.
I thought it would be a comedy going in, and it did really make me laugh at times, but it turned out to be something very different. Some of, if not THE best storytelling i've ever seen in series format. I won't say anything else because I loved how it quietly surprised me. I suspect this show might not be for everyone (I struggle to elaborate on that) but give it a go, a couple of episodes in and I was completely absorbed in this dysfunctional human tale.
Every part of this TV shows production was so well done. Fantastic acting, editing, photography if that's the right word. I really can't think of anything else like it off the top of my head.. so I would suggest watching it based on that alone and will be interested to see what the IMDb algorithm suggests people might also like in time. As it is I don't think any of the suggestions are remotely comparable. You really will miss out if you pass over this one, and at just two episodes you'll know what it's about. You won't be disappointed by the ending if you choose to keep going. It was SO well done. Everyone involved should be so proud.

I cannot say enough about how incredible this show is. I absolutely love it. I don't think I've ever watched anything more perfect. Phoebe is an incredible actress, writer, and creator. Fleabag captures the essence of a true broken heart, I've never felt more attuned with a character. I desperately wish there could have been more seasons.
