Seriously funny, piercingly poignant, thoroughly modern - and ‘hot!' Phoebe Waller-Bridge showed she was as sensationally talented as Killing Eve suggested with season two of Fleabag, by Jim Shelley By Jim Shelley for MailOnline Published: 01:17 GMT, 5 March 2019 | Updated: 01:32 GMT, 5 March 2019 Viewcomments The return of Fleabag was everything. This phrase has been tossed around so frequently and frivolously on Twitter etc that it’s become virtually meaningless. (Not everything can be ‘everything.’) But Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s comedy really was, and not just in the modern parlance - of something enriching/invigorating the quality of your life in the way that the best television programmes, films, or pop songs do. Brilliant: Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s comedy really was, and not just in the modern parlance - of something enriching/invigorating the quality of your life in the way that the best television programmes, films, or pop songs do On top of that, Episode One was everything we could have hoped for in a Season Two debut. Not being a disappointment was fine but no longer really enough after series like The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, or Girls. Fleabag was from the Lena Dunham/Larry David/Tina Fey school: a deeper, smarter, more ambitious, upgrade on the original which now just seemed much more like: a (brilliant) contemporary of similar BBC2/BBC3 shows such as Rev or Him & Her. With series 2, the calibre of guest stars like Fiona Shaw, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Andrew Scott wasn’t the only thing that made Fleabag 2 look so much more sophisticated and expensive it could have been American television. (PWB’s hair, for instance, and that jumpsuit.) Promising: On top of that, Episode One was everything we could have hoped for in a Season Two debut Well done: Fleabag was from the Lena Dunham/Larry David/Tina Fey school: a deeper, smarter, more ambitious, upgrade on the original Top quality: This was everything we needed to know absolutely that Killing Eve and Fleabag had not just been a fluke or an burst of creativity Phoebe Waller-Bridge had been building up to or waiting for all her life Finally this was everything we needed to know absolutely that Killing Eve and Fleabag had not just been a fluke or an burst of creativity Phoebe Waller-Bridge had been building up to or waiting for all her life. They were just the start. This was too, and Killing Eve 2 is on its way. Episode One Season Two of Fleabag was evidence enough to confirm Phoebe Waller-Bridge really is as startlingly talented as she seemed. So talented it’s quite exciting to see what she will achieve in television and cinema and more than that actually... sickening. Her acting is almost as good as her writing for heaven’s sake! Unlike the character she has created, she can do no wrong. A real treasure: Episode One Season Two of Fleabag was evidence enough to confirm Phoebe Waller-Bridge really is as startlingly talented as she seemed Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
