Hilarious and hurtful.
A portrait into the mind of a dry-witted, sexual, angry, porn-watching, grief-riddled woman, trying to make sense of the world. As she hurls herself headlong at modern living, Fleabag is thrown roughly up against the walls of contemporary London, with all its frenetic energy, late nights, and bright lights.

We read them all: the case for is june_bug's, the case against is cartographer_cy's. Marked below.
- cartographer_cyThe case againstThe Cartographer★★★½
Very funny and I admire it, but there is no world here, only a person. I want the person to have somewhere to stand.
- june_bugThe case forThe Comfort Seeker★★★★★
Funniest show, saddest show, most romantic show. The priest saying 'kneel' is the best line reading in television.
- quinn.ironistThe Ironist★★★½
A show that breaks the fourth wall and then breaks the joke. The priest noticing is the best single beat in a comedy this decade.
- ines.vThe Empath★★★★½
The second season is the most romantic thing on television and it is about a priest. That it is also the funniest is unfair.
