When Phoebe Waller-Bridge created Fleabag she created a devastating masterpiece. She created something that will send people into existential crisis’ for decades to come. She created perhaps the most emotional television event of all time. Fleabag is a beautiful and heartbreaking journey of human emotion. It’s an incredible depiction of guilt, and growth. And most importantly it is perhaps some of the most relatable work that’s ever been done in television. From the way her internal struggles are written, to the way that family dynamics are portrayed Fleabag is an insanely brilliant piece of media. At times it gets almost too personal. I have to take breaks because a lot of this show is very at me. But I will probably watch this show semi-regularly until I die.

The ending of season 2 is truly one of the most devastating endings to a television series. I have so much respect for Phoebe’s genius as well as her restraint. She very easily could have made this an ongoing comedy series and cheapend the message for views. But she said exactly what she needed to and then left it alone. The ending was perfect and it really didn’t need any more seasons. I wish more shows would follow suit.
