Binge With Me - Shows : Fleabag

Fleabag : Chaotically Fun to watch!! 

While scroll-searching on Instagram I saw this hilarious "no context known" meme which made me go ROFL. Naturally, bound to my habits I googled!! And that is how I met this wonder of FLEABAG. Undoubtedly, FLEABAG is my favorite series out of Quarantine Binge List.

Let us dive deep into worlds of fleabag, born out of a one woman show [written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge aka PWB] with the same name, fleabag is a conversation between you and her (!) who (?) yeah!! Fleabag is her!! Well, she takes us on a ride with her day-to-day struggles and what engages us, you ask? It is everything about fleabag! Though, it is in-you-face bold, vulgar and has levels of inappropriateness, at the same time it is also filled with dry humor and awkward realism. 

Fleabag is socially awkward woman of 30 something, who is always in need of money and is that other sibling who is always no matter what is overshadowed by the successful one. Her “breaking of fourth wall” is something surreal in different way and each time that happens we feel closer to the lead. PWB is not just good on the screen she makes marvels with her writing as well. Every episode is so well written and dose not bore you with useless bits and plots. Slight dysfunctional humor mixed with sadness lingers your mind and you cannot help but recommend this to everyone you love. 

Talking about the cast, PWB is extraordinarily funny and does proper justice to the character of fleabag. First few scenes gives you impression that everything is going to be about her but it is absolute fun to watch how other cast proves you wrong and outshine Phoebe sometimes. Olivia Colman and Sian Clifford plays godmother and Clair respectively, both these ladies are amazing and makes to my favorite characters list. Something feels missing when you know and have watched fleabag and no one’s talking about Andrew Scott!! I read your minds people!! Andrew Scott, our very own Moriarty from Sherlock manages to change the way we look at the priests. No kidding!! He literally is Hot Priest!! Scott’s hot priest is madly sweet, and we all fall for him. Brett Gelman’s Martin, Clair and Fleabag’s dad, Fleabag's ex boyfriend Harry and so many other characters definitely makes this one hell of a ride that we don't complain buying tickets to.

This show is hilarious, heartbreaking, extremely quirky, piece of sheer brilliance and is literally epitome of its genre - comedy drama. And that’s there is my case winning point.
