Review of Fleabag

Fleabag (2016–2019)
7/10
Get a grip, people!
14 August 2019
Fleabag is shaping up as the most over-praised, over-rated TV series of the decade - though it's a close race with Killing Eve. Yes, it's irreverent and, yes, it's funny. But 10 out of 10? C'mon! It rarely reaches the sublime heights of outrageousness of Absolutely Fabulous. In fact, it's more like a really dirty version of Miranda. Nothing wrong with that, but it's hardly hugely original. That reviewers are falling over themselves to lavish 10s and lavish praise on the series probably says more about them and their need for messy, chaotic, self-absorbed anti-heroines than at does about the series itself.
