Fleabag is an original. ... By the final episode, which I won’t spoil but which touches on themes of forgiveness, her story feels richer than many dramas.
Fleabag unpacks the life of a complicated young woman--with all of its pain, insecurity, anger, humor, friendship, impulses, and more--with a unique sensibility that makes it essential viewing.
One of the best v shows i have watched in my life so far. poignant and incredibly wity this adaptation is just a stunning display of talent from its writing to the performances, editing and casting. Emotionally rewarding and seemingly random this very real tale of self destruction, of emptiness of guilt is just a juggernaut in television
Once set in play, each of these [belated-coming-of-age tropes] devices gets turned inside out--quickly (each episode is 30 minutes) and surreptitiously (the action, like Fleabag’s life, jumps from scene to scene), but with a clear eye for truth that often becomes, like all good comedy, quite devastating.
This is one of the most honest, beautiful, hilarious pieces of art on television. You owe it to yourself to binge watch both seasons. The acting is spot on accurate and the story itself develops over time with layer after layer of complexity and nuance. Top notch - one of the best shows of the year.
If irresponsibility and a lack of trust or deep caring between anyone is the grounds for good humor, then Bojack Horseman does it infinitely better (The difference is that in a cartoon show about vacuous Hollywood types there are characters who feel like subjects who can care rather than just targets for cynical jokes). Fleabag is a piece of art that seems oblivious to many types of people or ways of living. It strains to provide a dense atmosphere of cleverness but goes for the easy and blunt joke too often.
I watched Fleabag thinking it's gonna be something like The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. A comedy series with a female lead who is funny, and has social commentary about how people behave. I had already thought that this is going to be very good. The thumbnail of her crying with her mascara coming out made it seem like it's gonna be something emotional too.
But it turns out this was a hot pile of garbage. The moment it began with Fleabag trying to be relatable saying, "You know how it feels when you have a one night stand with someone and then realise he's not the kind of a person who you were thinking and something something kissing sex sex?" Yeah sure, who doesn't know how that feels like? It's something that happens everyday, right? I thought it was meant to say unrelatable things in such a way that it seems relatable, but it turns out it wasn't that, because later on she keeps speaking like this the whole show.
The only thing this serial talks about is banging. There's Fleabag who only keeps thinking about sex, there's the stepmother who makes **** on the wall, there's Fleabag's boyfriend who keeps texting her to send pictures of genitals because he's horny (seriously, who asks for genitals on being horny?). Her sister is horny, her friends are horny, everyone she dates is horny. No one even thinks logically. Fleabag ruins his mother's party in the last episode because...?
There are occasional funny scenes like in the beginning of Season 2 where she says her dad is dead but then says he's alive. There are 6 episodes in each season, each episode being less than half an hour which begs the question why is this even a series and not a film. I just ended up wasting time. So overall there's no character development, no humour, no story, no world building, no logic. Just sex jokes.
There's nothing worthwhile to watch in this pile of garbage. It doesn't have anything that will carry on with you, something you could look back to. You know how much I hated it considering I have never given a 0 star review to any show before.
Une série anglaise en format court (6 épisodes de 25 mn pour la première saison) qui suit les errements et atermoiements d'une féministe névrosée dans ses conquêtes ou ses non-conquêtes, ses amies un brin demeurées, sa soeur psycho-rigide, son père à l'ouest et j'en passe et des meilleures...
Libre d'esprit et narquoise, volontiers cynique la femme libérée (?) est une baiseuse et une Don Juanita rafraîchissante par moments mais finalement bien trop lourdingue pour nous faire sourire ou sympathiser. Ses oeillades répétées à la caméra et ses commentaires (en guise de voix off), ses airs désabusés finissent par nous les casser au plus haut point.
Et je dis pas ça parce qu'elle est féministe mais juste parce qu'elle nous fait chier. Ave ses conneries et ses états d'âme à deux balles. L'humour anglais ici est bien plus provocateur que drôle et se complaît dans une vulgarité certaine que n'aurait pas renié Benny Hill : c'est dire si c'est bas de plafond et décidément très con. En plus d'être vite... très répétitif.
