I enjoyed this too, particularly the moments in which Fleabag broke the fourth wall. I guessed the twist with regards to the best friend's death but the ending, specifically who entered the café, took me by surprise. I was disappointed that the dad didn't tell Olivia Coleman's character where to go!

I can honestly say that I have absolutely, positively hated Hugh Dennis in everything he has ever done and gone out of my way to avoid him. Well, well, well. In this he was brilliant. If I'd realised he was going to make an appearance I would't have given Fleabag a chance but I'm glad I did.

The scene with him sat with Fleabag smoking a fag outside the retreat was really quite moving as was the last scene of the series when they were both sat in the cafe. As others have said, I found the first couple of episodes a little hard going but I think they needed to be that way to set the scene properly. Caught up with all the episodes on BBC3 iplayer and would definitely like to see more if it were the same high quality.

Excellent cameo from Hugh Dennis in the most recent episode, a curious one really as fleabag was nearly content in a strange way but then revealed the truth of the matter.

Some good lines among the silence "Help I've been stung by a wasp" and "we're paying them so we can clean their house!"

I found it curiously compelling and have just bingewatched it back to back. The twist in part 6 winded me like a punch to the gut and although I think it was very powerful, if I could un-watch it, I would as I now feel really depressed.

This was excellent, shame it didn't generate much interest on DS. The breaking the fourth wall worked so well. I've seen phoebe in a few things and she's the sort of actress you feel compelled to watch. I seem to think I've seen her in more things than I have. She must be quite respected by other actors for Olivia Coleman to agree to appear (apparently phoebe asked her when they met on Broadchurch). Cleverly written; lovely, smiley OC actually being a cow. Loved her speech at the sexhibition about power . Some real lol moments but at the same time the development of the Boo story heartbreaking. Another series please.

Well we got five pages out of it!

I hated Fleabag and then I loved Fleabag even though she can be a rat bag. Glad she was given a somewhat hopeful path to a possible second series, in which she'll surely revert to type

Since Olivia seems to be in almost every series on television, I'm not sure if she's respectable, or just eager to be asked. It's rare to find Olivia NOT in a series anymore.

JUst discovered this absolute gem. brilliant and what a cast, best comedy since Toast of London.

I read loads of reviews and they revealed that I missed a lot of the metaphors and symbolism. One of the best reviews was in The New Yorker;

And I was surprised see RP Bus Rodent (Jamie Demetriou) turn up in Morgana Robinson's The Agency speaking with an estuary accent.

And he was in "Suntrap" with a 'funny foreigner' voice. It's called acting.

5/10 for sarcasm.

The "funny foreigner" voice was definitely acting, I suspect one of the other 2 was his real accent.

He was a Lancastrian in Sky sitcom Rovers.

I liked it, but I don't think it was quite as brilliant as some of the reviews say.

There was a very seventies sitcom aspect of unreality about the bank loan manager story, despite the slight edginess of his being investigated for sexual harrassment. In London, it's very unlikely that you would, having gone for a bank appointment, then run into the bank guy at some expensive retreat in the country, who then spouts a bunch of supposedly profound and vulnerable claptrap at you (the cups and dishwasher come to mind).

And then he turns up at the end in her cafe to give her the loan. Given the number of customers she has, I'd say he was a bit late anyway.

The writing was almost good enough for Phoebe Wotsit to get away with this, but not quite.

Just discovered this myself as BBC1 are running it from Episode 1 after midnight this week. The first episode was brilliant. Lots of genuinely laugh out loud moments so hoping the rest follows suit.

Its made loads of top tv shows of 2016 lists both here and in America (where Amazon
Prime have it).

All the episodes are still on the Iplayer if anyone fancies a good binge watch - its a great show, one of the best of this year.

I've tried but can't warm to it. I wish I could, but I can't. There's something about people being totally self-absorbed and apparently without serious money worries that I find really irritating.

Watched this when it was on bbc3 very funny and compelling,my fav comedy show of the year ,hope there's more good cast as well

I share this to some extent, though emptiness and meaninglessness is also suffered by prosperous people.

In truth the programme does show that increasingly banal and false culture of the 21st century affects almost everyone.

Like Miranda, this woman seems to have a "quirky" business and it financially propped up by her family. Is that not prosperous by comparison to most young women?

I find Fleabag's horrendous self-obsession (compared to Miranda's awareness of her many failings) too irritating for words.
