Fleabag...is it worth a watch?

[CornishTeaTime]

Heard of it but dont know anything about it. Is it worth watching

No it's really annoying

I love it. I have watched series 2 numerous times.

Same for me. I couldn't get past the first couple of episodes of Killing Eve for the same reasons.

I do love loving a character/s but I can happily hate them and enjoy the show

But I felt indifferent to everyone on it I have seen worse shows though

I personally love it. So funny.

I didn't like the first episode at all. But glad I overcame that.

Well I would say as a "theatre convention" there's a lot to talk about as to when it is used and why and how powerful it can be, anyway. But it is developed in the show. I don't want to spoil it but for example the way the priest is aware that Fleabag is doing...something...when she is talking to the audience where others are not aware, maybe gives us some insight into their relationship.

Nope not for me. Likewise Killing Eve. Irritated by all the characters.

Dull as ditchwater. And, like most bbc comedies, everyone seemed so thoroughly self satisfied with the supposed brilliance of their own acting.

(Although I will have nothing said against the bbc’s ‘Motherland.’ Which really was brilliant, and has thus been cancelled.)

I liked it and her , but I can understand why some didn't and found it irritating
Olivia Coleman is good in it.

Loved it; and am in love with the hot priest

I think it is/ was hugely overrated.

I didn't even get to the end of the first episode. Self conscious and unfunny - one of those that thinks a bit of swearing and sex is edgy. Hate the 'breaking the 4th wall' thing at the best of times.
I seem to be a minority of one though.

Me too Beth. I really didn't like it 😕

Reading the replies seems I'm not in a minority if one after all! Makes me feel better...

I thought it was very funny, enjoyed it a lot. Give it a go!

I got to episode 4 I think with killing eve

Hmm, I wasn't a huge fan of the premise, nor most of the characters. Could take or leave the first series.

However, I have watched series two several times because I am in love with Andrew Scott's character and the chemistry between him and Phoebe was incredible. The character development/script/emotions were amazing and very believable. I pretty much watched it just for that stand-alone storyline.

It's Marmite. Watch it and find out.

I thought it was brilliant - the first episode is a slow hook but it caught me! Devastated when ended after just the two series!

Wish I was as clever as PWB!

It was okay. Could not get my head around the hype and the borderline beatification of PWB in the Guardian where every other article had to reference her or Fleabag.

OMG YES
better after the first 10mins or so.
It took me 3 goes, I thought not for me but I LOVE that show!

I loved it. Didn't like series 2 so much. Thought it was original, fresh and funny.

I didn't feel they had any chemistry, but I really do like the fact other people felt it that is why I like talking about TV shows

It's incredible, especially the second series. Absolute genius.
