View Details Critic Reviews for Fleabag Season 1 All Critics (40) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (0) Those hungry for an alternative to Lena Dunham's Girls will find plenty of dark relationship humour in this very funny comedy by writer/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge...Fleabag might be full of self loathing but she is very easy to like. Feb 11, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Jim Schembri 3AW Top Critic Fleabag reminded me of the brave aspects of many of the Sad Clowns we've encountered over the years, who use the tools they know best in order to cope. They're in a battle with grief, despair, loneliness, and worse, and they refuse to succumb. Nov 14, 2016 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic If Fleabag begins as a collection of single-girl moments, patience through a few episodes reveals a fuller, sadder, more multidimensional story anchored by Waller-Bridge's bracing honesty, inventive uses of jumbled time and an abrupt editing style. Sep 6, 2016 | Full Review… Linda Holmes NPR Top Critic [Fleabag] joins the likes of You're the Worst, Transparent and Casual in the realm of gut-punch comedy. Sep 20, 2016 | Full Review… Emma Fraser Observer Top Critic Hilarious heartbreaker. Sep 19, 2016 | Full Review… Ellen Gray Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic Waller-Bridge's awkwardness, her moments of rampant egoism followed by crushing bleakness, make Fleabag one of the most distinctive female characters in recent memory. Sep 19, 2016 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic It's dirty, it's sexy, it's disgusting, it's hilarious - and it's about being a girl. As in, a real girl. Scared? You should be. Feb 13, 2019 | Full Review… Ailis Brennan GQ Magazine [UK] ...an honest-to-hell portrait of urban alienation and its tragicomic hues. It's jittery, droll, pathetic, amusing and unapologetically confrontational. Feb 5, 2019 | Full Review… Rahul Desai Film Companion The script is razor sharp and fizzes with a daring, deadpan wit. Watching Waller-Bridge's performance, it becomes all too clear she must have written the comedy. Jan 25, 2019 | Full Review… Daisy Wyatt iNews.co.uk The show's journey is dark and emotionally complicated, and made all the better by clever pacing/editing and Fleabag's constant need to talk to the camera, usually during the most unlikely moments. Dec 3, 2018 | Full Review… Nick Venable CinemaBlend Fleabag is a clever, frenetic, and coolly smart series, balancing humor with a dark intensity the continues to grow. Still, the show never deviates from its irreverent buoyancy Oct 18, 2018 | Full Review… Peg Aloi Arts Fuse Very rude and very funny, Fleabag winds up at an unexpectedly moving place by the end. It's abetted by the glorious Olivia Colman as the heroine's witheringly passive-aggressive godmother. Apr 6, 2018 | Full Review… Steve Murray ArtsATL View All Critic Reviews (40) Audience Reviews for Fleabag: Season 1 Jul 28, 2020 This is a masterpiece. A testament to what television can accomplish. Pheobe Waller-Bridge is a genius. c j Jul 20, 2020 This show is so well-written that it's actually spoiled me for other shows. I wish there were more episodes.. but I suppose to get something this high quality you can't expect a lot of quantity. Well-written characters and dialogue, an interesting balance of genuine emotional drama mixed with comedic moments, exploring grief and shame through the point of view of a very modern, realistic female character. I can even forgive the fact that most of the characters come from such privileged backgrounds which often makes it hard for me to identify with them. I dare you to try to escape without developing a crush on PWB. Riley M Jul 13, 2020 This is the best kind of British TV there is. Fleabag is flawless! Molly F Jun 30, 2020 The leading cast are all excellent. Breaking of the fourth wall is well done. It does seem caught between a comedy and drama without the laugh-out-loud of the former or the depth of the latter. Richard G Jun 28, 2020 Uncomplicated, entertaining story, authentic acting, rich but subtle characters and dialogue, multiple laugh out loud moments each episode. The humour is mostly sexual and raunchy, which makes this show quite unexpected and absurd. Perfectly balanced with serious moments throughout to give the mood and viewing experience some contrast. Highlights would be Fleabag's fourth wall breaking with often hilarious effect and Olivia Coleman's nasty performance as the godmother Harlan C Jun 24, 2020 Just amazing! One of the best series I've ever seen. Jos R Jun 12, 2020 IT IS AMAZING DID NOT EXPECT THAT 5/5 Mohamed A Jun 04, 2020 Phoebe-Waller Bridge executed 4th wall break masterfully. While it's typically used for humor (and it still is in Fleabag), she shares her intimate thoughts with the audience through them, and we can see her personality manifest in front of the other characters. The jokes are written at rapid fire speed. Something is always happening. The pay offs vary in length so you get varying levels of gratification when a plot finds its natural end at different points in the scene/episode/season. It's one of those shows like Community where every single episode has at least one quotable line. I hope after this covid business is over, she goes on tour and performs Fleabag live again. Phoebe if you see this, please write something for Emilia Clarke! I see your chemistry on interviews and would 100% buy tickets to that movie or subscribe to that streaming service. Quinn D May 31, 2020 Funny and irreverent. Phoebe Waller-Bridge kills it. Christine S May 27, 2020 It's not an original premise, but it is so original in its delivery. Couldn't wait to watch the next episode.
