You can call the main character by the nickname her family has for her: Fleabag. Also apparently the actual family nickname for the writer and star of this show, which is a play on her name: Phoebe.
This series is an adaptation of her one-woman play. Incredible series! Insanely hilarious, but deeply stirring and emotional. Can't wait to see your reactions.
Everyone gets to the end of Season 1 and goes "That was amazing. I know everyone says Season 2 is way better but I don't think it can get better!" then Season 2 hits them like a train
I've been waiting to find a reason compelling enough to rewatch fleabag but I watched it once and it put me into a really bad spot mentally for days so doing it with you is perfect especially since I have just finished watching your buffy reactions. Can't wait for the next two episodes
Oh I love how much you're loving this! 😍 I implore you to absolutely watch the seond series as well - first one is fantastic, second one is a freaking masterpiece beyond compare. 🙏
I AM THRILLED THAT YOU ARE WATCHING THIS. FIRST YOU WATCHED BUFFY MY FIRST FAVORITE SHOW. THIS IS MY SECOND FAVORITE. WOW Also the main character is fleabag even though they never address her as such
Basically, it's what would happen if "Hurt People Hurt People" were a TV series. Girl has enough red flags to make Lenin blush. It's weird how likeable she is, given how terrible she is in so many different ways. You don't see a lot of protagonists like this. Weaponized nihilism made flesh. At least, that's the vibe I'm getting so far.
one of the most chilling aspects is that every time she "connects" with the audience - and it feels so warm and funny and engaging, she's *our* friend - she's disconnected with the person she's talking to. She's in freefall and those safety nets are not looking strong.
Of all the reactions I've watched you're by far the most in-tune with the material, it's uncanny. Maybe because you seem to enjoy the same type of "cross-the-line" humor as the character. A lot of reactors start out very shocked and only get used to it later.
5:30 she seemed actually "excited" about it. And she frowned in disappointment (to us) when he said it was a joke. 😅
Yeah no one ever notices that

So you could also call her Phoebe, maybe?
"This is not Game of Thrones" is actually funny, because her dad is also Lord Beesbury in House of the Dragon. Gods be good!
You're gonna have a blast with this!
Season 1 is fantastic. Season 2 takes it to another level!!! You're going to love it! I'm so pleased you are reacting to this.
I watched the entire show during one day during quarantine. I just could not stop, it was so gripping.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge also wrote and created the show "Killing Eve", which you should add to your future watch list.
I second this!
I’ve actually seen killing eve before but unfortunately lost interest in it early s3
@@TheLexiCrowd PWB only wrote the first 2 seasons so it's not unusual to fall out with it at s3
Bus Guy is played by Jamie Demetriou. He’s the brother of Natasia Demetriou who plays Nadja in What we do in the shadows.
Isn’t he in Cruella?
I didn't know that. They're both hilarious. Thanks!
YESSSS!!! I didn’t know you were going to do this!!! I LOVE fleabag, it’s one of my all time favorite shows!!!
I’m full of surprises 🤪
@@TheLexiCrowd Do they involve balaclavas and knives?
It's so fun to watch people experiencing Fleabag for the first time 😂
This is a fantastically well-written - surprisingly emotional - show. Season 2 is especially good!
One of my favourite shows ever.
These are going to be fun! Only sorry it'll be so short!
I vote for "You're The Worst" for another series if you haven't seen it.
I’m always so hyped when reactors recognise Olivia Colman!
ooooo this will be a fun ride! brilliant show. Excited to hear your commentary
This show is soooo good. Its a shame its so short

Such a brilliant series. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is an amazing talent and her fourth-wall work is Deadpool-Level. 🤣
So excited to see you react to this!
I love this show and am enjoying your videos!
You're going to love it!
Oooooh what a GREAT pick!!
Omg I wasn't able to watch right away but I am now and the way you said self portrait at the same time had me ROLLING
Games of Thrones, lost and fleabag ? Girl you became my favorite account
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cringe. It will change your life.
A friend went on about this,he even bought the transcript.By way of unhinged,you want to try Julia Davis's Nighty night and Camping,
I love this show
I must be dense, because I didn’t pick up the meaning of the show’s name. It IS about a dog with fleas, metaphorically. 😂
You two think alike ksksks
famousLY DEAD 💀
0:43 I mean, said in jest, but you're not _entirely_ wide of the mark....
