When “Fleabag” returned for its second season, expectations were high. Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s writing and performance somehow exceeded them
The first season of “Fleabag”, which aired in 2016, followed an unnamed potty-mouthed, promiscuous and self-destructive young woman navigating life in London. It won critical plaudits for its formal inventiveness as well as its exploration of grief and sororal relationships. When the show returned for its second season in March, expectations were high; yet Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s writing and performance somehow exceeded them.
Just as Natasha Lyonne, the creator and star, consistently finds new ways for her protagonist to die, she also manages to unveil a fresh tale of New York, modern ennui and compassion for the people seen every day but often ignored.A hitman suffering from PTSD walks into an improv class and decides to be an actor. Despite a superb first season, many wondered how long such a concept could continue without becoming as soulless as its lead.
