    Geniusly written, well played and original. A must watch! Very recognizable as well for grown ups with divorced parents who have a certain 'type' of stepmother ;-).

    I sat to binge this show because my gf wanted to. I thought it was gonna be a rom com at best. What I saw was an amazing show about this generation. Great overall and can't wait for the next series

    Good God mason barge, are you from a rival network or something ? We all know the US is isolated & barely above reading level but jeez, wooden ? What a load of crap ! I found the show to be interesting and an extremely accurate portrayal of a person grasping at answers while acting out of grief, guilt and self-recrimination. Fleabag is suffering the pain of loss while trying to find her way in a cold & unfeeling world, while clinging to the warmth of a best friend and the free & easy (better ?) side of her nature.Yes she is grasping at straws, coping with grief and loss by self- medicating with alcohol, sex and throwing herself at the wrong guys, but that is life. Unlike many US shows, the characters don't whine & question their every act, thought, deed & fleeting notion - being English the characters are somewhat reserved, desperate to avoid offending or embarrassing others, and try to ignore someone else's misdeeds. That is not wooden, one dimensional or boring. It takes some intelligence and knowledge of the national characters, traits and above all, psychology of humans in pain & loss.Yes she's foul-mouthed, but no she isn't a prude, repressed or ignorant of human desires and foibles. The show isn't afraid to explore many issues that American television can't cope with & prefers to ignore, and it is told from a woman's viewpoint, with female insights and bitter rivalry all around.Americans don't understand subtlety & perhaps this is why some US reviews just "don't get it". That's fine with the 95% of the rest of the world which isn't American, we get it, like it would like some more - Brit wit, not Yank w ank.8/10
