This show is the best I have watched on TV for many many years. I think it is perfectly of its time. I found it very difficult to work out how real it actually was. Obviously some of it is scripted and improvised, however I just can’t believe that it could’ve this good without a heavy basis on reality. I discovered it by chance yesterday and watched the whole of series 1 and 2 today. With each of the 16 episodes being just 15 minutes long it leaves you desperate for more and I felt a distinct sense of loss after watching the last episode. It has wonderful acting by every single member of the team, and fantastic guest appearances. My absolute favourite is that of David and Michael (or is that Michael and David?) being given a particularly stern and assertive strong talking to by a certain well known Dame. Or is it the allusion to a deliberately orchestrated Pavlovian response instilled in a certain star of Fleabag. I won’t ruin it by saying any more than that other than it is all pure genius, and hilariously funny. It produced a wonderfully large smile on my face, just as we enter the third, and likely the most serious, lockdown here in the U.K. I’m sure there were times I even laughed out loud, right from the belly. I truly hope that I’d they decide to do any more episodes that they are careful not to detract and mar the perfection that they have created already.
