Guys, do you feel her pain yet? Watching Fleabag sabotage herself feels painful to me. Like the drop from a rollercoaster. Fleeting contentment followed by a slap to the face. Everything she does is to bury her grief for Boo, but you cant fight grief, thats why she has those flashbacks when something reminds her of her best friend AND then she wants to feels better and ends up behaving badly. I mean, the guy with the teeth wasnt like the perfect date but, he was so excited to go out with Fleabag, and the moment he realized she didnt really like him was so sad.
S1 of Fleabag is an adaptation for television of a one-woman stage play written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. In that play the guinea-pig does in fact get squished.
Honestly the way that you three react to this, and it being such a upsettingly underrated British show is unliveable. As people not from the United Kingdom you seem to get every joke and awkward silence and truly experience it just like we did watching it when it was released. Also, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is just masterful and anyone she does can do no wrong in my eyes. Thank you boys and take care of yourselves x
we don’t know anyone’s actual name on the show except for Claire and I believe Boo. I think it’s because although so many things went wrong they were the only true people Fleabag loves. her hyper sexuality and incapability to create bonds without using humor or sex as a coping mechanism stems from her believing that she’s only valuable to people because of her body and what she can offer with it. she breaks the fourth wall because I think she needs someone (us) to know that she is not all bad as the people around her say and we’re the only ones who actually see her beyond what she shows others.
Phoebe said it was more of an artistic choice that we, the audience, her companions, never know her name. just know her as ‘Fleabag’, which is close to Phoebe W.B’s old real life nickname ‘flea’. “‘Fleabag’ felt messier” You’ll notice that no character ever says her name, or say Fleabag
It's interesting seeing a show written by a woman made for women watched by men. It's time for more real shows like that written by women and for men to watch it.
In the one woman original stage show Fleabag does actually kill the guinea pig, but the BBC wouldn't let her in the series. PWB says it was the right decision.
yeah fleabag is actually a very disturbing character originally which makes sense regarding her whole story with boo, but for a tv show that was the better decision I think cuz the audiences would've found her very hard to relate to otherwise
Unfortunately, I’ve been missing out on the reactions and I just wanted to say that I love your reactions. Also, can’t wait to see your jaws drop as the Series progresses.
She calls herself fleabag, it’s what she thinks of herself and her self worth. Also- her stepmom is called fleabag as well on the cast, which makes sense considering how the protagonist feels about her
Nice react! Fun fact, in the original play (this series were made inspired on her monoloque "One woman show" ) the guy really kicks the guinea-pig and she kills it to spare it form the suffering, but they decided to change it for the show.
Almost no characters have an actual name. Just Claire, Martin, Boo, and Harry I think. Everyone else is just nicknames like Fleabag, Godmother, Dad, Tooth Man, the Banker, Hot Priest, Needy Waitress, Hot Lawyer, etc.
yeah she's named fleabag on the cast but I don't think that's ever mentioned in the show. she never get's a name in the episodes! (also the guy you've been calling beaver is "bus rodent" on the cast list lol)
Clare and Boo are perhaps the only decent people in the show. Father is weak and doesn’t defend his daughters, Fleabag self obsessed, manipulative and sort from Boo and Clare doesn’t seem to actually care about anyone, Martin just creepy and seems to enjoy belittling people and making them uncomfortable, and the step mother, Fleabag was right about the step mother.
I haven’t seen everything you fellas have done, loved what I’ve seen though. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should really check out The Office U.K version. 👍🏻
Brand new to the channel tonight. Are you guys aware that when holding up your fingers in the way you do to gesture the number 3 (the OK gesture).... you're throwing up a well known white supremacist hand signal, akin to a nazi salute? Thought you might want to know that.

Y'all should watch Alex strange love on Netflix
The way that this show goes between a funny and surprisingly emotional moment is masterful and one of the many things I love about it
Thats the real beauty of the writing.
I feel like live and thunder saw this and tried to mimic it poorly ( constant jokes that undercut the serious moments) this show does it perfectly
"That's just not a joke, that's just a sentence." - Rob
The best thing ever! I shall use this for all time 😂
Queen Olivia Colman as Godmother was just so brilliantly written and performed. Absolutely fabulous!
She’s perfect!!
One of the most passive-aggressive and condescending characters I've ever seen.... Brilliant!
everytime this show cuts to boo it makes me so sad, it’s crazy how well it handles humour and tragedy interchangeably
Zuff always being correct with the plot lines is so funny and infuriating to me hahahaha. How does he always guess them.
Yesss

Was hoping someone would mention this

Martin, Harry (and later Pam and Belinda) too
And klare
@@CB-gu2lr Was gonna comment as well, Klare!!!!! One of the best characters LOL he's hilarious.

I believe the show is written to everyone (feminism is for everyone after all). But the show focus on other subjects way beyond women as well.
@@Gabriel_Piresit is written with a female perspective. I actually quite like it. good for them

Wow that's dark
yeah fleabag is actually a very disturbing character originally which makes sense regarding her whole story with boo, but for a tv show that was the better decision I think cuz the audiences would've found her very hard to relate to otherwise
@@hazalaktas6695 I didn't know that, cool to know
oh wow that’s intense. Does she just crush it to her chest or what happens?
@@anja3221 No the beaver guy actually kicks it and deadly injures it, and Fleabag kills it to end its misery.
Fleabag teasing the Beaver in the Sex Toy Shop is just genius. I aspire to that level of iconic.
Unfortunately, I’ve been missing out on the reactions and I just wanted to say that I love your reactions. Also, can’t wait to see your jaws drop as the Series progresses.
I’m so happy you’re reacting to fleabag!! This season is really tense and emotional compared to the second.
Season 2 is better imo
She calls herself fleabag, it’s what she thinks of herself and her self worth. Also- her stepmom is called fleabag as well on the cast, which makes sense considering how the protagonist feels about her
Her stepmom is called Godmother on IMDb …
@@emilyjean2 She was Fleabag's godmother and then the dad ended up marrying her
Nice react! Fun fact, in the original play (this series were made inspired on her monoloque "One woman show" ) the guy really kicks the guinea-pig and she kills it to spare it form the suffering, but they decided to change it for the show.
Ben Aldridge did such a great job as ‘F**k Me Up The A**e Guy’.
I love every fleabag reactions
Ok, if ‘Fleabag’ is ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ with a Female POV, does that make Claire a little bit like Roderick? 😂
i think fleabag is enjoyed best in one day, with a borderline irresponsible amount of alcohol, and a week blocked out to recover after
20:02 Guys 😂hearing your accents was just. the. best.
so glad y’all are reacting to fleabag
Almost no characters have an actual name. Just Claire, Martin, Boo, and Harry I think. Everyone else is just nicknames like Fleabag, Godmother, Dad, Tooth Man, the Banker, Hot Priest, Needy Waitress, Hot Lawyer, etc.
Hot Misogynist* but the rest were right I think. And of course you can’t forget Fucked Me Up The Ass.
In this episode is clear that fleabag is an erratic woman in mourning.
decided to watch your fleabag reactions because i was sad about liam's funeral and you just mentioned him............... i got chills
Love the reactions for fleabag
i finish watching the whole season in two day just because i want to watch u guys reaction 😁
I’m always trying to get people to watch my fave show Fleabag, so this is strangely fun to watch you watch it.
since you're on the british train you should watch Chewing Gum lol
I mean, I know many who want to be old and chill. It’s a legitimate goal for some lol
I hate Martin the most in this show. And Claire is my favourite.
Can't wait till your reaction to Season 2
Yes her name is Fleabag!!
I would love to see you guys react to Sherlock (bbc)
yeah she's named fleabag on the cast but I don't think that's ever mentioned in the show. she never get's a name in the episodes!
(also the guy you've been calling beaver is "bus rodent" on the cast list lol)
Now why is beaver upset that she didn’t finish and lied about it 🤨like that’s kinda ur problem buddy
Some characters don't have names and there's a reason for it
Clare and Boo are perhaps the only decent people in the show. Father is weak and doesn’t defend his daughters, Fleabag self obsessed, manipulative and sort from Boo and Clare doesn’t seem to actually care about anyone, Martin just creepy and seems to enjoy belittling people and making them uncomfortable, and the step mother, Fleabag was right about the step mother.
I haven’t seen everything you fellas have done, loved what I’ve seen though. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should really check out The Office U.K version. 👍🏻
only a few characters have names
pls watch Stath Lets Flats, the main character is the guy with the big teeth :)
Season 2 is even better.
Just letting you know, I was subscribed, then all of a sudden I wasn't.
Can you react to the series grace and frankie
I went to this episode too fast... to say... she's not a bad person.. she's hurting person. Just a person...
You guys gotta finish fear street
Pls look up the other character names. It’s funny
