I am not lying when I say I found the Tv show yesterday afternoon and I have now finished the two seasons. I had to stop myself late last night from finishing the last two episodes and watch them this morning instead. It's one of those shows that when the first episode is over you are unsure whether you liked it or not. Whether it was actually as funny as you thought it was or if it was just offensive and quirky. It is both of those things, like typical english comedies can be but it also has depth and it's even extremely sad at times. After 2 episodes I was hooked and when the last episode of season 1 rolled around I was almost in tears. Season 2 episode 6 I had tears streaming down my cheeks. Goddamn I fucking love this show!
Here are some more reasons as to why everyone should watch it:
-The main character who is never referred to with a name but is presumably Fleabag breaks the 4th wall constantly, it's surprising and a little annoying in the beginning but you get used to it and it becomes one of the show's greatest quirks. It's also extremely funny.
-Fleabag's life and her complicated relationships with everything. With herself, her dad and her sister, or all the men she constantly sleeps with. Her and Claire's relationship (her sister) feels very real at times. There is a hate love relationship there of two people who are jealous of each other's lives, they love each other but it's complicated as hell. It's very funny at times as well. As an older sister I know what it's like to be frustrated as hell with your younger sister but also always have their back.
"You're the only person I'd run through an airport for"
-Her dad and their relationship is also sweet and complicated. She's not the easiest to deal with at times but it is refreshing to see a woman being a mess and not have their life together. Being all over the place and being a bit of a fuck up.
-In season 2 Andrew Scott who is very famous for his role as Moriarty in the BBC Sherlock show joins as The Priest. Wow, he's a great addition to the cast and his and Phoebe Waller-Bridge who plays the main character and is also the showrunner/writer for it has amazing chemistry. It's off the charts and season 2 is a wild ride. Especially the first episode, holy moly it's insane. Best episode I've seen on television in a long time.
-It's hard to talk about this show plot wise because it would almost be to give it away. It's funny, and awkward as hell at times but the comedy hides a deeper sadness that a lot of us humans carry with us all through life. The uncertainty that life is just passing us by and we forget to live. It's honestly brilliant!
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is also the creator and showrunner for Killing Eve, which is also pretty spectacular. Apparently she is also on board the writing team for Bond 25, that will be interesting indeed!
