British Comedy Guide, 19th September 2016TV needs far more seething women like Fleabag
Angry young men are commonplace on our screens - but it's refreshing, and rare, to watch a woman use the c-word like a bullet.
Eleanor Morgan, The Guardian, 29th August 2016Fleabag, series 1 review
At first glance BBC Three's new sitcom Fleabag may give the illusion of being like any other modern day sitcom. A young, attractive but troubled lead with a turbulent love life, an uptight sister and a struggling small business; what more could writer and Fleabag Phoebe Waller-Bridge bring to the table? But within the first episode the narrative is already swept in an interesting direction, with the suggestion of darker aspects to this person's life than one might previously have assumed.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 27th August 2016TV review: Fleabag, BBC Three, Episode 6
I'm reluctant to review the final episode of Fleabag. I don't want to give anything away. All I should really say is that you should watch it. And if you haven't watched the first five episodes catch up immediately.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 25th August 2016Review: Fleabag, BBC Three, episode 5
It has taken me a while to get round to writing about the fifth episode of Fleabag. I don't know what the journalistic equivalent of being speechless is but that's how I felt after watching it. It's not quite the same as writer's block, it's just when you see something that is so visceral and powerful on a gut level as this it is hard to find the right way of expressing your response to it.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 18th August 2016Fleabag: a hilarious sitcom about terrible people
Phoebe Waller-Bridge's sitcom is full of people who are defeated and unlikable - including her own character who masturbates to Barack Obama speeches. But it's utterly riveting.
Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 5th August 2016Review: Fleabag, BBC Three, episode 3
There is a hint of some character development towards the end of the third episode of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's excellent series. Jogging through a graveyard Fleabag suddenly seems to see the world in a different way. Could she be heading for a happy ending?
