Fleabag is coming back! series 2

[HoraceCope]

And with Andrew Scott,
he is great
as is Olivia Colman

I must have watched that final scene about 578 times.. I feel like a total pervert, but wow!

I’m going to feel genuinely bereft when Fleabag is finished. What a cracker it is. Showing all those boring, drawn-out, multi-season shows how it’s done. PWB can say more in a glance to camera than some writers actors manage to say in a whole episode.

Loved Hugh Dennis turning up with ‘Stephanie’. The speech about hair I’m going to have to get my mum to watch because nothing will resonate more with her.

I hope it doesn’t all go terribly wrong but I suspect it might. They deserve it to be all right.

Signing off all messages now with

Bye Clare.

We didn’t find anything out about him though - he started to say something about his childhood, and he doesn’t know what happened with Boo - I did love the episode (we are so programmed to think a good relationship can cure all ills) but I suspect more twists to come.

I also think he may have experienced abuse. Maybe he went into the church partly so he could help to redress the balance and be "one of the good ones". He said in the tipsy church garden scene (episode 3?) that he slept with a lot of people before he became a priest, so maybe he used to have the same coping mechanism as fb? Maybe he sees a lot of his past self in her?

Don't worry shiver, i had to rewatch it too as I wasn't sure whether she was looking 'intense' because of irritation or pleasure. Definitely the latter but now i also feel like a perve

I love it how she told her sister

Brilliant episode.

We're going on holiday next Monday so I've got to wait 3 weeks for the next episode.

it was in iplayer yesterday morning, so you might be able to fit it in before you go on holiday?

Dh didn’t like the episode because whatever you think of the Catholic Church, he made an important promise that he betrayed. As it is he’s a man that’s swept away his stability.

Priest must have some dark secret too, and his saviour is with God. I am sure it has been said before.

I don't really get all the handwringing about him being good/bad, their chemistry is incredible and it's amazing to watch, I do believe he is falling in love with her and she with him, I think the "kneel" bit was a complete red herring.

I loved it when she said "women can't be priests" and he went FUCK OFF I KNOW! I laughed a lot in this episode.

I do hope that was a really good wig Clare had. Otherwise she needs to get a job in advertising.

It's funny how her hair looked rubbish to me right up until the moment Klare appreciated it. Then suddenly I saw how well it went with her gorgeous top. Suggestible, much?!

Ooh I didn't know it was online early, that also means I'll be able to watch before my holiday - phew.

There's a lot of unresolved issues to be sorted from last night. Like, wedding? The painting? Telling the truth of their pasts to one another. Clare and Martin/Jake.

So many stories in these short episodes, and yet they feel so full.

don'tlose - then again the thing (and part of the problem) about Catholicism is there's no mistake that can't be atoned for, so in theory it's never too late for him to repent and go back to celibacy if that's his ultimate choice.

Watched late last night after a very long day and off to work now so just a few just perfect.

I was a bit disappointed too BertrandRussell. Ah well, it's only a tv show!

Yes ruffle about Claire's hair and the suggestibility and the HP and atonement! Acceptance and forgiveness. I think Stephanie is part of HD's atonement.

how lovely to bring her a hamster guineapig

Clare's hair

That was brilliant. Evil stepmum showed her true colours.

Did anyone else notice that there were no Boo flashbacks in this episode?

I so hope it all concludes nicely in the final episode.

“I was a bit disappointed too BertrandRussell. Ah well, it's only a tv show!”
What???? You’ll be telling me the Archers isn’t a documentary next...

The bus stop scene... my god I could feel the tension as if it were me sitting on that bench.

I just found out that there’s no series 3... 😭

I found I wasn’t so invested in FB and HP this episode (5) as the last one. I think it was just not so interesting to have the star crossed lovers thing as to have the character exploration of the ep 4.
The Clare/klare was amazing and I loved the scene with Martin in the cafe. Fuck youuuuu!

Bye Clare.

Evil step Mum was ace. I have a stepmum to be who is so similar... I like to imagine she is similar behind closed doors.
