Just caught up on this new series (it's 4 X 30min episodes in)......I'm already hooked. Hilarious with pathos. Like a little cookie of a show, an enjoyable nibble that fills you up just right.

I do have a quirky sense of humour though.

Anyone else enjoy it? (Or even watching it?)

Yes, there's another thread about it.

Funny show.

It's on BBC2 now. No need to find it on the iPlayer.

I heard her interview on Woman's Hour about the stage version and moving it to television.

Absolutely hilarious. And also incredibly refreshing for a BBC tv character I think. The main character masturbating over Obama speeches cracks me up!

I was very surprised to hear the 'C' word used on the BBC. They've beaten channel 4 to it I think.

An entertaining comedy drama though.

I can't wait for the second series of Killing Eve either. She was on the radio on Friday talking about writing the first series.

Such a great writer. I'd be disappointed not to have the character return, but, as I've said before, she's destined to have a massive impact on contemporary culture so I'll look forward to following her career.

Fleabag the movie, anyone?

I’ve still got this week’s episode to watch, it’s an incredible program - brilliantly written and she plays it perfectly.

I don’t canid she doesn’t write any more of that, just let them exist as tiny episodes of everything humour is about: sadness, difficulties, people and just getting through it

One of the best tv shows I’ve seen.

Every character , line, scene, the pieces to camera is brilliant.

As someone mentioned , covering love , lust, pain, sorrow, heartache and all, just genius.

Where can I get my own Fleabag??

Utterly brilliant series - I really enjoyed it, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a phenomenally talented writer and performer. I LOVE those little asides to camera that she does.

I was really disappointed to discover that the New York run of the play ends on Sunday - we fly to JFK on Monday.

I started a thread on Pose when it started. It's brilliant.

The other recommendation I'd give people is Chewing Gum. It may not be available now but is a younger, black, working class Fleabag.
