I watched the first episode (ETA: of series 1).  I enjoyed the style of breaking the fourth wall, but I got bored enough that I didn't watch another.

Missed this first time round, but saw the first episode of the second series and then downloaded the first series.

So: Home the Syrian-Asylum-seeker-stays-with-idiot-Brit comedy

Very very good so far.  :thumbsup:


(I can't believe anyone didn't enjoy Fleabag S2Ep1. I didn't watch any of S1, but this was nothing like what I'd read. Hope I'm not in for a disappointing rest of the series! Much clevererer and funnier than Killing Eve. The "twist" toward the end was a masterstroke.)

Ep2 - also great
Ep3 - still great, with a great joke about the breaking-the-4th-wall joke.

Do you think it had a good ending flatus, if so I'll give it a miss ;)

I saw someone reading the book and watched the set on iplayer. Really enjoyed it but some the characters make your blood boil. Olivia Coleman and Bill Paterson were excellent but really not a bad performance from anyone

It was startling, appalling, and funny all at once - I shall so miss it.

The best bit of the final ep was not the end, but the middle.
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Glad this seems to be following the tradition of the best UK comedies of ending whilst still very good (cf Spaced, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted).

(For those who enjoy Fleabag, have a look at Russian Doll on Netflix.  It's not as good but worth a look).
