Fleabag (2016)

Written by Splinter on June 21, 2023

I'd heard so much about Fleabag that I had to see what all the fuss was about. On my first attempt, I managed to get through the first episode, then abandoned the effort because it simply didn't click. One year later, I tried again and sat through three episodes but it still didn't click. Is it a comedy or is it satire? Both of those genres often bring on guffaws, titters or even belly laughs. I experienced none of those and found the experience to be utterly tiresome. I could just about see the wood for the trees and what Fleabag was trying to convey, but in the end I just wanted the character to drop dead.
