20 Best TV Shows of 2019: From metaphysical quandaries to white nationalism, religion to romance, awkward adolescences to fraught marriages
The second season of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s tragic farce began with her face covered in blood. It ended with her gently waving goodbye to us — her invisible, silent confidants. The wave proved the far more powerful moment. That seemed about right for this season, which was as much about the relationship between fictional characters and their audiences as it was about Fleabag attempting to repair things with her estranged sister Claire , or grappling with her feelings for a hot priest .
Season Two continued to— then broke it twice over when the priest began to notice Fleabag talking to us — in a way that laced Waller-Bridge’s sterling comic delivery with something more bittersweet. Fleabag joked with us because she had no one else who would listen. The series’ original six-episode run in 2016 was so perfect and seemingly complete that its return could have felt like an unnecessary cash-in.
