I love this series. Each season is 6 episodes and is an easy evening of enjoyment. The story is about a woman who uses sex to escape depression. It is funny, very smart and moving. Here is an excerpt of Vulture's review.
“Fleabag season one was
a droll, observant work of British comedy that confirmed what a talent Phoebe
Waller-Bridge is both in front of and behind the camera. So it’s saying a lot
that Fleabag season two, the follow-up to Waller-Bridge’s
initial, brutally honest portrait of a British woman on the brink, is even
better than the first.
Almost everything that was good
about the six episodes of Fleabag that debuted on Amazon all
the way back in 2016 remains in place in these next six. The show still finds
surprising, squirmy humor in the lives of depressed and dysfunctional people.
Its protagonist is still an appealing mess of a person, though her judgment has
improved, slightly. And Waller-Bridge continues to portray Fleabag, our
screwed-up heroine, with a firecracker confidence that, when dampened by the
right person, reveals a vulnerable, damaged, and loving soul underneath. Waller-Bridge
also still regularly speaks directly to camera, and pulls it off more
effectively than anyone else has in recent TV history, and maybe TV history
altogether.”
