What to say about Fleabag (if you're a man)

Phoebe Waller-Bridge's hit comedy has returned. Beware, it's a bit risky for male viewers.

Hugo Rifkind, The Times, 4th March 2019

Review: Fleabag, Series Two, BBC Three/BBC One

So follow that. After the seismic success of the first series of Fleabag the action picks up 371 days and some hours later, with the family gathered for an important celebratory dinner. But this is Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag, it's never going to be an uneventful meal is it, as an early scene in which a bloody nose is wiped makes abundantly clear.

Review: 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.

Fleabag 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.

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.
