Love is Awful, but Fleabag is Great!

Send us a text


We’ve left Westeros and ventured over to London to celebrate our
favorite messy, dry-witted friend in our head - Fleabag!  


INTRO - 59:17


Our two-part discussion kicks off with the stuff we liked this
week.  Kristine celebrates all of the exciting new streaming
content thanks to Star Wars: The Mandalorian on Disney Plus and
the new season of The Crown on Netflix. Jocelyn is excited about
Comrade Quilty - a leader in the feline liberation movement -
finding his forever home. As for the stuff we didn’t like, we
have had it with the lack of nuanced political discourse and the
NFL continues to be the worst when it comes to colluding against
Colin Kaepernick.   


59:18-1:20:29


Our Fleabag discussion kicks off with our overall impressions of
the show.  Simply put - we loved it!  Jocelyn also
really loves Julia Louis-Dreyfus and manages to work in a salute
to one of her favorite comedic actresses during the Fleabag
discussion.  Tangents, like drinking and using adult
language, are part of the brand!


1:20:30-1:38:37


We move on to discuss our thoughts on each season.  There
are really no bad choices in a wonderfully written show with only
two seasons, but we did ultimately reach a consensus on which
season we liked most.


1:38:38-END


Part one of the discussion closes with our thoughts on our
favorite and least favorite episodes.  It should come as no
surprise that a show about family, vulnerability, and healing
inspired us to open up and lean into our own feelings a bit.


Content/Trigger Warning:  This series focuses largely
on the main character grappling with the suicide of her best
friend.  As such, our discussion will also touch on this
topic as well. We endeavor to handle all topics with care, but
also want to alert you to this sensitive content in
advance.  The number for the National Suicide Hotline in the
US is 1-800-273-8255. For local suicide prevention resources,
