This show is as close to perfect as tv gets. There aren't many pieces of media which can make me laugh hysterically and bawl my eyes out in such quick succession

[@NickHunter]

the revelation of what happened to Boo was soul-destroying and recontextualises so much of the show

[@kora1595]

fleabag, peaky blinders, fullmetal alchemist AND breaking bad, man this channel probably has some of the strongest show selections out of all reactors at the moment. just peak after peak, massive props to whoever is picking these

[@yago8672]

fullmetal bleh

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Didn't know they were doing Peaky Blinders. That has a lot of brutal scenes. 😱

[@Darkstar_Dayne]

That is why it is good for reactions​@@Elephant2024-wi2li

[@Diegesis]

Dude, that means a lot. we really try to be good at picking bangers. thank you so much from all of us

[@MapleDivine]

Big thanks to all of our editors behind the scenes they are picking all of the best shows!!! LOVE THEM SO MUCH

[@sterow]

This will be great. Such a good fit for these two.

[@TheGreat_Kramer1]

I fear this might be like looking in a mirror.

[@lyddiecatt]

AHHHH i literally thought to myself "i wish they'd watch fleabag" the other week 😭❤❤

[@MapleDivine]

Thank you for manifesting this for us 🙏🏼🫶🏼

[@alexiswiley5725]

I thought this TODAY!

[@miguelavendano8818]

This was what I binged during Covid lockdown to cope with anxiety and now I have 2 guinea pigs both 3 + years

[@IanHillan]

No but seriously, the payoff in this show is spectacularly good. She's a genius.

[@MrVojeck]

I love dark humor. One of my favorite series of all time, both seasons are pure gold. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is amazing.

[@bigpictureguys8415]

I need to see her be great in something other than this though. She’s outstanding in this but she wrote it so I hope she’s not a one trick pony

[@NickHunter]

@@bigpictureguys8415 is it possible to write, star in and produce a tv show while being a "one trick pony"!? that sounds like a lot of very different tricks to me

[@bigpictureguys8415]

@@NickHunter fair point. I guess I should’ve used the expression “one trick pony” instead 😆

[@lady_dayna]

I would give anything to be able to experience Fleabag again for the first time. SO excited for you two 👏🏻❤

[@pabloc8808]

Boy oh boy, this is one of those shows you think you know what to expect and you think you're prepared, and you're just not.

[@peterrobertson1162]

"You get that from you're mother" was a classic example of dry Scottish humor

[@AnimeAftermath]

Nobody does cringe comedy like the Brits. This show is a masterpiece.

[@clonnlijinhlong2713]

The scene that got me thinking YESSS THIS SHOW IS IT was the first scene with her father. Like, you KNOW she have something on her mind....She wanted somewhere to vent... she's not in good terms with her sister...she lost the only friend she had...And she went to her father...who said it was too late...so she decided to turn but the build up was too much... She had a "meltdown"...she just blurted out everything on her mind, just for her father to ignore everything she said and reply with that shitty ass sentence. The LOOK on her face after what her father said Made me cried....The sheer look of defeat..... That scene is what made me watch the whole show without getting up

[@tightyellowshorts]

The show is so good. But so heartbreaking. And so "oh god, I can't even watch" sometimes. But so good.

[@Quzga]

Show selection on point like always! Almost scares me how you manage to pick so many of my favorite series but I love it, this series is so extremely British in the best way lol

[@nkanyisoinnocentkhwane3752]

FLEA BAG has one of my favorite episodes of television I've ever seen, I'm pretty excited

[@bdbantham]

Series 2 episode 1 right? ITS A MASTERPIECE

[@Danstraightedge]

OH MY GOD. One of the best pieces of TV ever made. There isn't much that gets it so exactly right but this show is FANTASTIC. Its hilarious, sad, cringeworthy and everything inbetween. This show punches you right in the face and then leaves forever.

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Psychoanalysis is totally welcome on this show!! You’ll need it!

[@MapleDivine]

Yeeeesssss literally Arianna and I’s favorite thing

[@quietdime]

But honestly… also don’t psychoanalyze it! It’s not necessary. The show contains all it needs for that conversation at the end.

[@KayinAngel]

10/10 show. Season 2 episode 3 has one of my favourite little moments of any tv show ever I think.

[@zbennalley]

This show helped me with my creative writing.

[@chloebetten3604]

I gasped when I saw this on my feed. I am sooo excited for you to watch this!!!

[@davecooper4442]

Yes!!! The world needs more fleabag reactions

[@KJ-pr1hq]

Seriously

[@darrenboyle1918]

Having watched this series with my brother, ive had to stop this at 6 minutes just to comment that i instantly understood just HOW MUCH i needed to watch it again with female reactions!! im already invested in watching this with you now 😁

[@Udgrasil13]

Oh, you are gonna watch one of THE best shows of the last decades. Cool...cool, cool, cool. Season 2 is a perfect season of television in my opinion.

[@sterow]

It's interesting everyone says that - I love both seasons but it's the first that wrecks me. That little act of kindness at the end of season 1 gets me every time. But I will say, season 2 episode 1 is about as good a single episode of TV as I've seen.

[@ednicolle2456]

this reaction somehow made fleabag even more chaotic, love it cant wait for hot priest

[@kyliemcgee2398]

Fleabag is everything I could ask for in a show. The exact representation I’ve been needing and yet I haven’t been able to finish it because it’s too relatable

[@ZacharyFinch]

I need more!!! This is one of my all time favorite shows. It’s an instant classic.

[@neilwritesstuff]

“she needs to go to a therapist” in her case that’s not a good idea either 😭😭😭

[@GreyMagee74]

I forgot Lord Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezbury from the HotD is her dad!😂

[@dyndan19]

The teeth guy has a show called, 'Stath Lets Flats' which I HIGHLY recommend. I think I've watched the entire show about 4 times so far. He has really nice teeth in that. 😁

[@voidwraithprime8521]

You guys are going to love this show.

[@bdbantham]

Great to see you doing Fleabag. Love you guys :) Series 1 is good... Series 2 is one of the greatest seasons of TV Ever Made!

[@NickHunter]

Olivia Colman, the only person who can say "you're walking human trash and I hate you" with a massive smile :D

[@jema.flores]

OMG is it Christmas already?? you guys will love this. Can't wait for S2.

[@Intellectual-Warrior9]

I had anxiety depression overthinking this show helped a lot.

[@JeffKelly03]

Great fucking show. Good choice.

[@rakjohceuti8711]

One of my favourites shows ever. And I love to be able to enjoy it again through your eyes. Thanks!!!❤

[@namarra631]

OMFG! Yesss! I'm looking forward to your reaction to this series

[@mike_ere]

I absolutely love this show. It is so under talked

[@dimitriliountris8581]

YESSSSSS I have never been so happy to see a reaction

[@Mark.mp3]

God fleabag is such a relatable yet complex character.

[@EmmaDelamare]

I've been meaning to watch this show for years, looking forward to watching along with you.

[@florencewhittle5361]

this and the second series are super short and bloody brilliant! please keep these coming!

[@aranayasharma]

the way I jumped in my chair when i saw this

[@jaijais]

wanted to see you two react to this, glad you picked it!!

[@amandasaunders2503]

Season 1 is fantastic- Season 2 is even better. So excited for this! 👏👏👏

[@marbase1son]

this show is GOATed

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Holy shiiiii one of my top 5 series of all time

[@johntheX]

You will love this show. Season 2 is even better, although I see it as a whole story. Not only this is a great fit for you, but it's still is one my favorite tv shows ever. Maybe my favorite. I quote it all the time haha

[@johntheX]

After your Sucession reactions and now FLEABAG? I a now a subscriber

[@sawhittaker1909]

I love all these show choices that you're making on this channel!

[@hmp01]

4:45 he said that because she was disgusted her last boyfriend treated her good when they were talking in the buss

[@adamfromm]

Season 1 is 10 out of 10 amazing, and season 2 is-no exaggeration-the best season of television I've ever seen. So very looking forward to your journey on this one.

[@mrdax12]

Yes! So glad you guys are reacting to this!

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Clever writing. Serious at times, but mostly comedy. A shame it was only two seasons.

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

When I watched this series, I paired it up with 'Killing Eve.' Strange combination.

[@wildpendulum]

Yeeeessssss! I am so glad that you've started to watch Fleabag!

[@rockfan699]

You guys need to react to the series, Killing Eve! Phoebe Waller-Bridge was the writer for season 1 and Executive Producer for all 4 seasons. Great show!

[@zawa7497]

OMG!! 😭 So excited for this one. I know you are both going to love this

[@heyheyjk-la]

Yeah, even as on old af dude, this is one of the greatest series ever. It was already perfect when it was only supposed to be one series, then a few years later series 2 came out and it was perfecter; I mean so, so great. And you mentioned early on with her 4th wall breaks how it seemed 'performative' and that's spot on. This was originally a one-woman show that Phoebe performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and she got the offer to turn it into a TV series so she adapted it. I don't think it's available on KZbin but they did a special pay-per-view showing during the Covid lockdown and I got to see it, and it was really great in that format, as well. Given the super short runtime of all the episodes, and the short number of episodes (God bless UK TV for that) you can binge this whole series in less time than it takes to watch one Marvel film. Can't wait to see the rest of the reactions to both series.

[@synkthestorm22]

YES, YES, YESSSS FINALLY! Can't wait to go through this journey once more and watch it through your eyes. Trust me girls, IT IS A MASTERPIECE. It only gets better.

[@thecockerel86]

One of the best tragic-comedies of our age. A limited 12 episode / 2 series of pure genius.

[@jonathanfoster4202]

CANNOT believe i live in a world where i get to watch you react to this incredible show 😭

[@bigpictureguys8415]

12:51 I took that scene with the drunk girl as an example of how miserable people tend to go around trying to “fix” other people instead of doing the work on themselves. Might be a stretch comparing it to this scene but: Often the people who are the loudest about others are coming from a place of pain & insecurity. They judge others so meticulously to the point subconsciously that finger gets pointed back on themselves & they know they’re not living up to the standard they hold others to.

[@brandosbucket]

It's truly amazing how much actually gets lost in the Atlantic ocean.

[@plloyd84]

I'm so happy this is happening!

[@Mairahlk]

yeees, the perfect tv show. love that they are watching this

[@TatiJBC]

Thank youuuuuuuuuuu! Great show! Have a marvelous ride.

[@Mark.mp3]

YESSSSS, im so glad u guys are reacting to this show!

[@ryannelson1297]

This show is really something special.

[@sallyatticum]

Saw Phoebe's one woman show on which this was based. It was amazing~ Phoebe is brilliant.

[@daved2352]

I remember watching the first episode and enjoying it but never continuing the show. I've been told by a bunch of people that it's right up my street so now I guess I'm gonna have to watch it to keep up with the reactions.

[@CL4MP]

Omg, I enjoyed this reaction so much 😂 looking forward to more

[@pattyg8464]

So excited that you guys are watching this! Think you’ll really enjoy.

Oh this show is soooo good! Hope you’re watching both seasons!

Such a good choice! You guys should do the wire next

[@caylincoleman8758]

No wayyyyyy!! This is going to be great!!

[@caylincoleman8758]

Also note that this is a very fast paced show with quippy dialogue, so hopefully you guys don't miss anything when u guys react in the middle of the episode. (Mean this is the nicest way possible)

[@danielallan8061]

This show looks awesome! I haven't laughed so hard in a while!

[@kyaaa4485]

WILL BE TUNING IN
