Yes I'm really late to the party Grin but just watching the first episode on iPlayer, and it's so good! Really funny and genuine, and original too.

Little bit in love with Phoebe Waller-Bridge Blush And I have to say that her character comes off far better than I would in the situations she finds herself in..!

Please don't tell me I'm being U Sad

It's a great series really funny

cushioncovers · 15/07/2017 20:30

Yep i enjoyed it

Pumperthepumper · 15/07/2017 20:30

It's so great, really hope there's a second series. I love her sister!

ghostyslovesheets · 15/07/2017 20:34

yanbu it's really good but the last one made me cry - it's very well written and yes I have a teeny girlcrush on PWB!

toomuchtooold · 15/07/2017 20:35

She's like the second favourite to be the next Doctor. Can you imagine?

Composteleana · 15/07/2017 20:37

I love it, identified more with the sister than with her to be honest but absolutely loved the show.

Oysterbabe · 15/07/2017 20:37

I thought it was fantastic, really funny.

GiantHulkHands · 15/07/2017 20:37

I loved it. Her facial expressions in response to her step mother's (Olivia Coleman) barbed comments are wonderful. The scene where her dad says spoiler alert I'm allowed to be happy, just left me weak. It is such a well-developed, fully-realised show. Best thing on the telly last year.

Pariswhenitdrizzles · 15/07/2017 20:37

Oooh she'd be fab as the Doctor :)

(Potentially with Stephen Mangan/Martin Freeman as her assistant?)

Giant yay didn't know Olivia Colman was in it - really like her :)

I loved it too. Though the last one was really painful. I hope there's a second series too.

Havalina · 15/07/2017 20:39

I really liked it, intelligent funny and well written. She is obviously a very talented person (bit of a girlcrush too)

Pariswhenitdrizzles · 15/07/2017 20:39

Ooh or maybe Jack Whitehall as a potential DW assistant? Grin

I watched the first episode, hated it and said on here that it was just Miranda with shagging and cursing.

A few months later I watched the first episode again and realised how wrong I had been Blush and watched the lot in one sitting.

Really great telly and PWB is all sorts of ace.

JojoLapin · 15/07/2017 20:43

The most original serie in a long while. I loved it too and can't wait for Fleabag 2. Touch is currently playing at Soho Theatre (same prod company and similarly edgy apparently). I haven't gone to see it yet but will.

thecraftyfox · 15/07/2017 20:44

I loved it. Made me cry too, really thoughtful series as well as funny.

Chickenkatsu · 15/07/2017 20:47

I heard that Fleabag's going on Netflix, I wonder what other countries will make of it?

LazySusan11 · 15/07/2017 20:47

Is there going to be a fleabag 2?

Arealhumanbeing · 15/07/2017 20:49

Why would you be being unreasonable? Best thing on telly for a long time.

Be warned. It gets darker and you might cry.

Londonloubelia · 15/07/2017 20:49

"Crashing" on C4 is her latest show well worth a watch too, loved Fleabag

Pariswhenitdrizzles · 15/07/2017 20:51

Just got to the bit in the first episode where she's at the theatre with her sister reminding her about, ahem, 'something she once did in a sink', and the sister snaps back: 'I have two degrees, a husband and a Burberry coat' Grin

JojoLapin · 15/07/2017 20:51

LazySusan11 yes PWB confirmed earlier this year that there would be Smile

Pariswhenitdrizzles · 15/07/2017 20:52

Reminds me a tiny bit of My Mad Fat Diary if anyone's seen that? That was really well done too.

SeashellsSeaShells · 15/07/2017 20:58

I started watching it today. Have you seen crashing on 4Od (or whatever it is called now) it's very good and written by Phoebe as well.

itsbetterthanabox · 15/07/2017 23:16

Yabvu it's atrocious
