Fleabag series 2, thread 2 No Finale Spoilers [Title edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

[HoraceCope]

here we are

I am spending an inordinate amount of time worrying about the end of the series. I rarely crave a "happy" ending but feel the same about FB/HP as I did about Lizzy/Darcy and Tony/Bren. Something about female written social commentary/comedy where I find myself living the female characters' journey for want of a better, less wanky term.

Of course FB went too far by sleeping with Boo's man, that is the whole point of her badness, to the poster on the previous thread who asked this.
this is why she has her demons.

well one of the reasons she has her demons, that and her mother dying - a lot of unresolved grief.

Cheers Horace!

Blatant placemarking

The opening of the coat. Oh my dears.

Thanks for the thread!

Thanks Horace

ShowOfHands i think sometimes a show just touches a nerve, doesn't it? I think it's a zeitgeist thing.

I’d forgotten the bot I liked before Colman starts swearing was the way she spouts ‘family first’ through gritted teeth - spot on.

Is anyone else watching Killing Eve? (Also written by PWB). I've not had to wait a week to watch anything in years, it's frustrating!

Killing Eve is making it easier - it's brilliant.

Ah yes blue - the coat. i still can't work out if i want to be fb or priest in that scene. I'll have to rewatch to decide

I've just binged the whole of season 2. I've now got a priest fetish and I may have to watch it al again later!

Also loved Killing Eve.

Great strong rounded female characters in both.

I’m also enjoying killing eve!

I loved Killing Eve, Jodie Comer was fantastic, as of course Sandra Oh

I have a handful of female colleagues who are friends too and we have all said, spontaneously, that Fleabag speaks to us and we recognise her in each other iyswim. I knew instinctively that they would adore it and that colleagues who I don't gel with wouldn't "get it". She is my colleague A's playfulness and K's acerbic wit and J's self deprecation. She legitimises female experience in a way most dramas can't. I love the female gaze in it. It's a study in skilled writing, direction and production. There is nothing wasted in it. It is so SO good.

Yes! It's moving, it's subjective, it's ART!

Hi Claire

Bye Klare

Brilliant. Thanks for the new thread.

Bye Clare

Just watched it. Again. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Placemarking!

To add a really shallow note I would love to be able to wear her jump suit from the first episode. However at 48 and with GG cups I suspect it would be a striking look for all the wrong reasons.
