Or when Fleabag chews out the stylist about Clare's hair and then he pulls her inspiration picture from the trash? GOLD.

I loved it.

That’s what the show is about - the line between funny and sad, and love.

There is so much humor to be derived from tragic situations. Loved how Fleabag looked so fantastic at her mother’s funeral and was trying to look less fabulous, but just couldn’t.


my god! you look stunning!

I thought she was funny when dating but creepy when going after the priest who was not hot but just ... not hot.

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, but the flashbacks felt disjointed to me.


The flashback seemed incongruous to me too. People do commit suicide like that but it felt like a heavy handed attempt to excuse the protagonist’s horrible behavior b/c she’d suffered trauma.

There were funny moments but I thought as a whole, very over rated.
