Okay, internet (by which I mostly mean, Twitter). You were right about Fleabag on Amazon. It’s fantastic. (I think the show hits its stride by episode three.)
You know how sometimes you hear so much about something that you’re sick of it before you’ve given it a chance? That’s how I felt about Fleabag so I was reluctant to try the show. Well, I was wrong. Fleabag deserves the hype. I’m almost done with the second season, which Amazon aired recently, and which received six Emmy nominations.
I’m not going to tell you what Fleabag is about because you can Google that in a second. But it’s worth mentioning that one of the different aspects of the show is how the main protagonist often “breaks the fourth wall,” meaning she makes side comments and facial expressions to the audience. This is not annoying even though it sounds like it would be. It’s a key to the show’s success. Trust me!
I often highlight shows because I love the friendships in them. Fleabag is not in that category. In fact the main character’s total lack of true friends is a major part of the show, in my opinion. It’s not mentioned much, but it’s very glaring to me.
Have you seen it? Did you love it?

LOVE Fleabag. The second season is amazing, even better than the first. When you get to the last episode (oh my!), let’s discuss. 😉
