Fleabag, Series 2 review - a standing ovation
Phoebe Waller-Bridge knocks it out of the park as the show returns.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 5th March 2019Fleabag series 2 review
Andrew Scott joins the cast and Olivia Colman returns as the venomous stepmother in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's masterful comedy.
Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 4th March 2019Review: Fleabag - Series Two
Before going into this review I should state that I have one major problem with Fleabag: other critics. When the first series aired in 2016, one of the most famous scenes is of the title character played by the show's writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, masturbating to footage of Barack Obama. Similarly, the critics are so fawning in their praise of this comedy that in my head just about every single newspaper TV critic in Britain is secretly wanking off to Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 4th March 2019Fleabag has managed what other shows take years to do
Phoebe Waller-Bridge's look at grief, sex and self-loathing returns for a second season. In a first episode dominated by a family dinner with an astonishing twist, she proves once again that she's the next great writer of British bathos.
Jonathan Dean, GQ, 4th March 2019Review: Welcome back Fleabag!
The first episode of Fleabag's long-awaited second series serves up an extremely awkward family dinner, an eccentric priest and some deliciously dark comedy.
Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 4th March 2019Fleabag series 2 episode 1 review
Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag returns with a bravura opening episode...
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 4th March 2019Fleabag review
An old-fashioned setup given contemporary clothing.
Ed Cumming, The Independent, 4th March 2019Fleabag Series 2, Episode 1 review
Anyone who expected fireworks from the beginning may be a bit disappointed, and Fleabag herself isn't in the self-destructive mode that she was in the first series, but that's all for the better of the show as it means we're not going to just get a repeat of previous events and instead see the character grow and evolve.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 4th March 2019Fiona Shaw sings Phoebe Waller-Bridge's praises
Fleabag is painfully funny. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's comedy, which took critics and viewers by storm in 2018 is in equal parts excruciating and exhilarating. Writing this sharp does not come along every day.
Adrian Lobb, The Big Issue, 4th March 2019Fleabag is still the best thing on TV
Let's just pray that in these strange times, she doesn't start wanking to Trump.
