Fleabag

Fleabag is a British comedy-drama television series created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, based on her one-woman show first performed in 2013. It was originally produced by Two Brothers Pictures for digital channel BBC Three in a co-production agreement with Amazon Studios.[1][2] Waller-Bridge stars as a free-spirited and sexually active but angry and confused young woman in London. Sian Clifford and Olivia Colman also star, while Andrew Scott joined the cast in the second series. The protagonist frequently breaks the fourth wall to provide exposition, internal monologues, and a running commentary to the audience.[3] While she is customarily referred to as "Fleabag" in reviews and commentary (including this article) due to the title of the show, she is never given a name on camera.

Background

To Fleabag's surprise, Claire has turned down the Finland offer and decided to stay with Martin, who has convinced her that Fleabag made the move at the party. Their confrontation triggers a flashback, revealing that Fleabag was the woman with whom Boo's boyfriend cheated. After being turned away by Dad, a heartbroken and guilt-ridden Fleabag contemplates suicide, but is stopped by Bank Manager, who happens to pass by.

Both series of Fleabag received widespread acclaim from television critics. At review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, both series received approval ratings of 100%. The first series received an average rating of 8.5/10, based on 40 reviews, with the site's critical consensus reading: "Clever and viciously funny, Fleabag is a touching, wildly inventive comedy about a complicated young woman navigating the aftermath of trauma."[20] The second series received an average rating of 9.33/10, based on 94 reviews, with the critical consensus stating: "Fleabag jumps back into the fray with a bracing second season that upholds its predecessors' frenzied wit and delicate heart, replete with Phoebe Waller-Bridge's indefatigable charisma".[22] At Metacritic, the first series received a weighted average score of 88 out of 100, based on 19 critics,[21] while the second series received a score of 96, based on 21 critics, both signifying "universal acclaim".[23]

Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker described the show's first series as "a precision black-humor mechanism, a warped and affecting fable about one single woman's existence."[24] Maureen Ryan at Variety called it "scathingly funny", concluding that "long after it’s pulled you in with its irreverence and jokes about sex, and beguiled you with its cutting wit and messily human characters, it reveals that it’s actually a tragedy".[25] Hank Stuever of The Washington Post characterised it as a "funny, highly profane but surprisingly poignant dramedy".[26] Mike Hale in The New York Times praised the show for its "restless, almost feral energy and its slap-in-the-face attitude."[27] Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times commended its unpredictability, acting, and "clear eye for truth that often becomes, like all good comedy, quite devastating".[28]

Serena Davies of The Daily Telegraph lauded the show's second series as "a near-perfect work of art".[29] Mary Elizabeth Williams of Salon praised its "brilliant swan song", finding the series' conclusion satisfying and "well-earned".[30] For Rolling Stone, Alan Sepinwall wrote that the "tragicomic masterpiece reaches new heights in its second outing".[31] James Poniewozik of The New York Times wrote that "the new season feels immediately confident, if inevitably less groundbreaking. Yet it continues to push its form".[32] At the show's conclusion Hannah Jane Parkinson of The Guardian described it as "the most electrifying, devastating TV in years", writing of the second series that "it seems as though many who either did not watch the first series, or who didn’t think it lived up to the hype, have been converted".[33]

According to Metacritic's aggregate of decade-end lists, Fleabag was the second-highest ranked show of the 2010s.[34] In 2019, it was ranked 8th on The Guardian's list of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century.[35]

Former United States President Barack Obama named the second series of Fleabag among his favorite films and television series of 2019. In his annual list of favorite films, which he released on Twitter on December 29, 2019, he added a small addendum with the title, "and a quick list of TV shows that I considered as powerful as movies: Fleabag: Season 2, Unbelievable, and Watchmen.[36]
