Phoebe Waller-Bridge does it again.
good TV know that you don’t need dragons, Dothraki, and mass murder to generate excitement. Turns out a squabbling family dinner and a miscarriage will do., and I haven’t seen anything as rivetingly good on a small screen in as long as I can remember. There is no shortage of Waller-Bridge praise around the Internet right now, but let me join in on the chorus. As the writer and directoron top of her game.
If you missed the first season, please start there. Those six episodes introduced us to Waller-Bridge’s titular heroine, who is unmoored and sexually self-destructive—even as she remains somehow totally in command of herself. Here is the paradox of Fleabag: She is ruthlessly confidentFleabag 1brother-in-law , widowed father , and his bohemian girlfriend , and recently deceased best friend .
The first season ended with a powerful reveal that I won’t spoil here. Season two picks up less than a year later with Fleabag dabbing an enormous amount of blood off of her face in a restaurant bathroom. “This is a love story,” she assures us. And it. You may have heard about the season’s “hot priest” , over whom viewers in the U.K., where this season began airing in March, more or less lost their shit .
But the savage humor is intact throughout, and that dysfunctional family dinner in the first episode is only a taste. Everyone is making hilariously terrible choices: Fleabag’s father marrying his artist girlfriend , her sister keeping her worthless marriage together. Waller-Bridge has an incredible cast and has added to her riches with cameos by Fiona Shaw and Kristin Scott Thomas—the latter of whom has an absolute showstopping monologue about menopause.
