Review of Fleabag

Fleabag (2016–2019)
9/10
A Wonderful Trip Through a Wide Range of Emotions, Beautifully Acted
25 January 2020
I really didn't expect to like this show as much as I did, based on its description. However, it takes you through a wide range of human emotions, including disappointment, despair, depression, hope, unexpected happiness, laughter, love, contempt, skepticism, faith, and many more, in creative and entertaining ways. Not only are the plot points and dialogue well written, but they are beautifully played by actors who are just as skilled in using physical gestures and expressions as they are with speaking lines. I was a little disappointed that this series only lasted two short seasons, but Fleabag's story is so perfectly told and wrapped up in those seasons that I'm also kind of glad it didn't jump the shark. Waller-Bridge is extremely talented as both a writer and an actress, and I hope to see more wonderful projects from her soon.
