Barack Obama named 'Fleabag' season two among his top 2019 TV picks. So that means he saw the first season, right?
He loved season two, so that means he also watched season one, right? Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images Barack Obama, a Cool Dad, released his annual best-of lists today, cataloguing his top picks in books, movies, and music for 2019.
Fleabag’s second season, you see, landed on Obama’s 2019 “Quick List of TV Shows That I Considered as Powerful as Movies,” which, of course, duh. This was a magnificent piece of television — the best show on, according to Vulture. The Hot Priest! The jumpsuit! The perennial perfection of Olivia Colman! Her beautiful friendship with Fleabag’s creator, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and the ukulele ballads that flowed from it! Truly, Fleabag gave us so much to love.
In its first season — in its first episode, actually — Fleabag also gave us a memorable clip in which Waller-Bridge, as the titular character, furtively masturbates to one of Obama’s speeches while her sometimes-boyfriend sleeps beside her. This moment, she later told Vulture, “was all women wanted to talk about,” apparently having found it relatable.
And Obama? Although he has not confirmed that he even saw season one, it stands to reason that of course he did. What do you think he made of this fun little scene: Do you think he watched it, do you think he laughed? Granted, I can’t speak for Obama, but personally, I’d take it as a compliment.
