"Check out BBC/Amazon's Fleabag if you have a chance" Thu Nov-03-16 08:17 AM by BigReg
Its a gloriously filthy take on a single woman in a big city, think Broad City/Louis CK standup but on steroids. There's also dark underpinnings involved to why she's so dysfunctional, which slowly let themselves be known as the series goes on. Here's the trailer but it doesn't do it justice, they gave it that cheesy rom-com edit feel.
It's built up from a one woman play from the main actress/writer but you couldn't tell; its pretty wide screen for a television comedy and a gem of a tv show. And it's one of the few comedies in recent memory where it had me in shock on some, "Oh shit, they went there!"
Only 6 episodes, give the first one a try...if Atlanta's my fav comedy this year this is firmly a #2

14. "great season. Olivia Colman steals every scene she's in." In response to Reply # 0
I think I liked season 1 a little more, but this is still a great scene. And Olivia Colman is absolutely hilarious. A couple scenes had me laughing out loud, especially when the priest backs out of the wedding and she wait til he leaves then screams that he's a f***ing c**t. I lost it.

First season was amazing but I was late to get to season two because I haven't been in the mood for anything dark lately.
This season had me on the edge but never jumped off the clip into darkness and I appreciate the hopefulness of it.
The first episode of season 2 was a perfect season opener. It had everything.
**Spoiler**
I was watching petrified that she would ruin that Preacher's life and calling. That she didn't made it all bearable for me.
I was kind of waiting for her talking to the camera to come out to be an actual part of a mental illness. Like a re-instating the 4th wall plot twist. I like it was suggested without actually makeing clear. Clever AF.
