Your Manic Pixie Dream Girl video was recommended to me a few days ago and i've been binging your videos ever since! I'm so glad you talked about Fleabag too, I watch this entire show every few months to get those emotions running. You're a big inspiration to me with my own videos, thanks for giving me the motivation to keep going!
The "secret" to having it "altogether" would be to find contentment in the little things. Be happy in what you can enjoy, don't chalk it up to be a waste of time because"I could be doing X right now but instead I'm watching TV" don't beat yourself up over enjoy you enjoy, you deserve R&R. Another thing I've learned is that these lofty goals aren't going to accomplish themselves, they'll only take as long as you take to get around to working towards them. The sooner, the better.
@@steakovercake3986 Ok - so you speak for every single person who has watched this show, and can tell us their opinion on behalf of them all 👍🏼 interesting skill
I loved Fleabag! It was dark and irreverent and funny! She is such a good actor and the show is so good. But i almost feel bad for her... because she was so good as fleabag, it will be hard for her to get work by others that aren't just imitations of that character. She's totally good enough to write herself another convincing persona, but hollywood will continue drawing from that same well. PS. Catastrophe is also a very funny Amazon series!
I couldn't agree more! Fleabag was such an original, hilarious spin on the whole "finding yourself" storyline with probably the best use of fourth wall breaking I've seen yet (and love how they deconstructed it in the second season too!) I get what you mean though - I can tell Waller-Bridge is mega talented and can probs take on a wide range of roles, but I do worry she'll be typecast into this sort of persona. Let's see though! She's bound to write herself another awesome character - and hopefully Hollywood picks up that she ain't a one-trick pony. Thanks for the recommendation btw, I'll be sure to check out Catastrophe! 😃
HAHA absolutely 😝 We apparently weren't even meant to get a Season 2! But I love where they took the story and UGH Andrew Scott as the hot priest need I say more.
Getting your life together is horrific experience. For me it took a few things. Spending a childhood slowly dying from a curable disease and understanding that there is a treatment, but the adults around you refuse to help. Things are good now! Married, cured, and working at a job that I enjoy and helps people. Thanks for sharing your video! I will check this show out.
I watched this with a friend of mine (female), and it was not just funny and entertaining, and sad, but also incredibly enlightening. A window into a woman's mind in a way that Peep Show is for the man's mind. Of course they're totally different series with different intentions, but they really make you see how someone thinks and feels outside of the perfect world of TV/movies. If you like this show, I'd also recommend "Please Like Me".
Has anyone talked about Crashing yet? It's another one of Phoebe's projects about twenty-somethings being property guardians in an abandoned hospital and their shenanigans. It only has six episodes, since it was unfortunately cancelled. It's set up like a lot of sitcoms and comedies, but the situations those characters find themselves in are so unique and visceral. The characters are also so raw and flawed, but they also play off of each other so well. Episode 3, the curry episode, displays all of these elements at their best, and is one of my all time favorite episodes of television.
oh my god yes! crashing was great. I watched fleabag a long time ago and I was sooooo obsessed with it that I didn't want to watch anything else of Phoebe's work cuz I was afraid of not liking it. but then I finally decided that I can't take it anymore and I HAVE TO watch crashing, so I did and I loved it. also, the character Phoebe plays in that show reminds me so much of fleabag. I finished crashing a week ago and already want to rewatch it! Phoebe's just so underrated, it's not fair. ( please excuse me for any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my first language 😅 )
@@mahsamaghferati3520 yes, Lulu does remind me so much of Fleabag! I just love how unique the dynamic of the characters are, and I thought a lot of the episode concepts were brilliant, like the scavenger hunt and the curry episode. I watch a lot of comedy shows and it's left a larger impact on me in its 6 episodes than a lot of the others I've watched. Ugh it needs so much more attention.
My favorite line from Fleabag is her reply to the lawyer when he asks her if the priest is alright after turning up at her door. She replies "No, I'm hoping he's having an emotional crisis". A throwaway joke so full of nuance you barely even notice it until you actually think about it.
The writing for this series was simply brilliant; Waller-Bridge wasted no lines. Also thanks for reminding me of the little lawyer arc, that was hilarious.
Wow this is perfect timing, I’ve been meaning to watch this show & at the moment want to watch something that’s not too long/winded. Thanks for the vid! And since you want recs, you might also enjoy the show Insecure :) has a very similar relatable vibe of millennials just trying to get their shit together lol. -S
Ahhh awesome! This show was a super easy binge lol, I think I breezed through it in one weekend. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! And I'll definitely be checking out Insecure - the premise already has me sold hahaha. Thanks for recommending! 😊
This sounds strange but this is a show my dad and I bond over lol Love this! Hilarious and unique! New here to the channel and I dig! Ima need to check out the rest of the goodies here!! Love finding fellow nerdy creators geekin out on nerdy things!!!
Aww omg that's awesome! I actually bonded over this one with my mom haha - every ep had us cracking up, and the finale left me wanting way more eps (although we're never getting a Season 3, apparently). So glad you've been enjoying the channel; love meeting fellow nerds on here too! Already loving your TH-cam name, I'll be sure to check your content out as well 😊
@@ana-isabel Well thanks! No need to feel obligated to check us out but we do love the community here on NerdTube lol So you video actually got me rewatching it again lol So double thanks!!
A friend of mine recommended it to me very eagerly. I'm so glad i listened to her, this show was a rollercoaster of emotions. At times it was hard to watch for me, because i saw things i used to do/say, and those are the feelings to go deep to, where there's discomfort it's because it's triggering something from you, something to face from yourself. It's a must-watch for males, and i will keep on recommending it.
I love Flanagan! I wish you would've touched on the fact that Flanagan wasn't the only one to break the fourth wall and maybe why it was or wasn't significant. I thought the 2nd person to do that was someone special
Wow, I just found this channel today and have been binging your videos, I love the way you structure your videos and approach essays and also how you shout out to other creators too! It is criminal the number of views this video has and subscribers you have to go along with it. Fantastic content, carry on the good work!
I watched season one years ago and thought it was brilliant, but there was a long wait between season one and two and i forgot all about it and didn't even realize season two came out. Time to catch up!
You should check out Phoebe Waller Bridge’s previous show: Crashing. It’s 6 20-minute episodes of hilarity, charm, and incredible characters, and is on Netflix. Plus it has a great cast
Very curios what you would have to say about "Flowers", the stepmother plays one of the main characters there and she is brilliant! Fleabag is damn brilliant., one of my favorite shows out there.
I have mixed feelings on flowers. I kinda don't like it now that I've had time to digest it. Like there were some good characters and some interesting moments but it came across a little pretentious and try hard. Idk
I knew nothing about this (never even heard of it) but this made want to watch it immediately.. Kind of even feels like I watched some of it already lol.
I ave seen this, it was great. Thu it seemed too short and I wanted more, she did end it well. Thu she probably will nvr do it, she could come back to do a 3rd season. It could show her a bit later in life of how she progressed, regressed, or just some sort of change in her life. Or even a single movie, to bring Us bag to Fleabag life for a moment.
I watched it and mostly thought of it as a sort of inferior Peep Show for a female audience. Peep show is probably one of the best things ever made for the TV so there's no shame in that, and if you liked this worth checking out.
"[If you have your life together in your 30's] please share your secret below" Honestly, and I mean this not to be glib, but: rich parents. Mine paid for a degree in finance and bought me a condo so I own a home that's mine to do with what I want. It's messed up but it's not untrue that wealth begets wealth.
One question, did you spend a lot of time in America at some point? You have almost no trace of an Aussie accent at all mate. Sound like a native seppo through and through. Born there and move here later in life?
My favorite line from fleabag is
"you don't need to be alone to be lonely"
I’ve only seen up past episode four but so far my favourite line is ‘No thanks. I’m trying to quit.’

What timing; this was just the advice I needed to read right now. Thanks so much for sharing!
If a man was as talented as her he would be labelled as a genius. Still I feel she's so undertared
She is a genius.
She's a genius? Who that has seen this show thinks any different? Why does everything have to be progressive.
@@steakovercake3986 Ok - so you speak for every single person who has watched this show, and can tell us their opinion on behalf of them all 👍🏼 interesting skill
Fleabag and Crazy Ex Girlfriend are two shows that really changed my adulthood. I was able to relate to both lead characters.
I loved Fleabag! It was dark and irreverent and funny! She is such a good actor and the show is so good. But i almost feel bad for her... because she was so good as fleabag, it will be hard for her to get work by others that aren't just imitations of that character.

Oh yes! Fleabag is the best! I love how Season 2 got even better than Season 1. Hot priest for the win! LOL!
HAHA absolutely 😝 We apparently weren't even meant to get a Season 2! But I love where they took the story and UGH Andrew Scott as the hot priest need I say more.
Season two has to be the one of the best television seasons of all time.
Season one wasn't bad but season two is just.......... So fecking good.

I recently watched Fleabag for the fourth time and just now came across your video. I'm totally simping for Phoebe aswell. She is sooo good.
I'm going to convince my folks to watch this over the holidays. This was a well done video!!!
Ah yes another female pop culture analysis channel for my collection.
*Shoves in subscription bag next to Lindsay Ellis and Sarah Z*
no comment has ever explained my youtube recommendation algorithm better
No Jenny Nicholson?
I feel strong Jenny vibes here also.... and Amanda the Jedi
Jenny and Amanda too ofc
Such an underrated show. I loved it

I am so glad, out of all the teen drama superiority in the media houses right now, we have this gem for the "adults navigating life" story!
We need more of it to be honest 😩 Hope to see coming-of-30s dramas gain a new genre of their own lol

@@rebeccacrow9427 I totally agree with you!😊👌
Tbh, i watched the show only for Jonathan Bailey ✌️
One word: K N E E L
Love this review
Season 2 is sooooo memorable esp since S10 was great
Love that the camera is a character
Yes! Love how even the viewer plays an essential role in the whole series.
And omg, I feel like the addition of Andrew Scott *made* season 2. So good.
This show has stuck with me. Thank you for showcasing it.

8:06 that sequence when claire had a crush on her colleague also named 'claire' and waller-bridge had to hide her laugh was so funny

That part blew my mind. It was legitimately scary the first time he noticed and looked at me. I'm still trying to figure out what that signified.

Ok, you get the bell.

Great Review to a wondrous series:)
You should check out Phoebe Waller Bridge’s previous show: Crashing. It’s 6 20-minute episodes of hilarity, charm, and incredible characters, and is on Netflix. Plus it has a great cast
You're a good saleswoman. The first episode on Amazon is apparently free; just favorited it to watch in a little bit.
I think that the first season was ok, but the second one was so much better! Like whoaza~ Great show
Waller-Bridge deserves my simp points just from this video alone
This is lovely
You deserve soo much more subs
Very curios what you would have to say about "Flowers", the stepmother plays one of the main characters there and she is brilliant!
Fleabag is damn brilliant., one of my favorite shows out there.
I have mixed feelings on flowers. I kinda don't like it now that I've had time to digest it. Like there were some good characters and some interesting moments but it came across a little pretentious and try hard. Idk
I'm jumping the shark right now.
I knew nothing about this (never even heard of it) but this made want to watch it immediately.. Kind of even feels like I watched some of it already lol.
I ave seen this, it was great. Thu it seemed too short and I wanted more, she did end it well. Thu she probably will nvr do it, she could come back to do a 3rd season. It could show her a bit later in life of how she progressed, regressed, or just some sort of change in her life. Or even a single movie, to bring Us bag to Fleabag life for a moment.
