Ep 167: Analyzing Modern Masterpieces — “Fleabag” (Creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Season 2, 2019)

Today we're tackling season 2 of the 2010's cult classic, "Fleabag" (created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge). Widely considered the best season of "Fleabag," and still starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge and company, series two follows our protagonist getting her life together after the grief-fueled antics of series one. To the backdrop of her sister's (Sian Clifford) professional successes and her father's (Bill Paterson) imminent wedding to an antagonist godmother (Olivia Colman), Fleabag is dismantling her coping mechanisms, bettering her behavior, and falling in love. Religious faith, connection, grief, and restoration are all huge themes in a work that hosts some of the best scenes I've seen on television. Plus, Andrew Scott plays a priest beset by foxes -- and very real human foibles. It's transcendent. Let's get into it!
