Fleabag is a fantastic comedy, original and refreshing in this time of mediocrity.
I have to take issue with Coral Grainger's review. The character is supposed to make you cringe. But then Coral clearly watches Miranda. If your idea of comedy is Miranda or Mrs Brown's Boys then this is not for you. This works on so many levels and is a well written, clever comedy, reliant on 3D characters, plots and life issues. This is not your run of the mill 2D canned laughter BBC comedy.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge has taken her stage show and crafted it into this well executed, acted and directed gem. It is also a triumph for female writers and the amount of feminist comment in there is not lost.
The great deal of pathos will resonate with so many people in a similar life position, and there are a lot of us out there. I guess some people's lives (Coral's) are just too perfect that she cannot disconnect and walk a mile in somebody else's shoes.
Coral also blasts the sex scenes in this 'daytime show.' I do not understand that as the show is on-line and has a guidance warning before it starts! I think that is my main point – this is a comedy which is wasted on-line. Stick to Made in Chelsea Coral. Sadly, Fleabag is far too clever for the generation who will watch it.
Fantastic, well done Phoebe.
