[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just watched both series in their entirety. I really enjoyed the comedy....[b]but is Boo's death supposed to be so contrived as to be absurd? I just could not find enough empathy for that situation to be sad. Not only was it just absurd that a grown woman would do that[/b], but the flashbacks felt disjointed to me.[/quote]

I personally know two people who committed suicide by jumping in front of trains. I think many more people purposefully step out in front of moving cars/trucks/buses.

Are you completely unfamiliar with clinical depression? [/quote]
Boo wasn't clinically depressed or even trying to die, she was trying to get side swiped by a cyclist so her cheating boyfriend would feel sorry for her and visit her in the hospital. Except she was an idiot who didn't realize "bikes go really fast" and that the bike swerving would cause a car crash.

I just had trouble buying that a 20-something woman would have that thought process, unless maybe she was supposed to have some kind of underlying cognitive or emotional problems?

And then the flashbacks to that one scene over and over, which presumably Fleabag didn't even witness (her stepping off the curb), just made it unbelievable for me.[/quote]
