I am getting lots of adds for Fleabag on FB. I've never watched it, never heard of it - any of you?

Catching up on some stuff (how was I not subscribed to this thread?):
Cindy, reading the comics wouldn't make a difference to your mild squick with a relationship in Umbrella Academy; it's not there at all.
I am shaking my head at the slash fans in Stranger Things fandom. There's been a lot of meta on Tumblr about how Billy is queer, as signified through wardrobe coding. And I am all, my dudes, I dated many versions of the asshole rocker boy that Billy's character is, and there is no queer coding in his look. That is peak heterosexual rocker boy who idolizes David Lee Roth wardrobe. But I don't want to dampen their enthusiasm, so I keep my fingers off my keyboard when I see the posts.
I just heard an interview with the person behind Fleabag (who also wrote the first season of Killing Eve) in the last week. Sounded interesting, and I like Killing Eve and awful lot, so I will probably give it a try. Is that an Amazon Prime show?
Et remove an extra comma, I don't know how that snuck in there...
yes Amazon Prime.

I've been getting lots of ads for it, too, and it looks interesting. I was going to add Amazon Prime for Good Omens anyway, since that drops May 31.

I love it! It's by the woman who also wrote Killing Eve, Phoebe Waller-Bridge. It was originally her stage play and she starred in it.
It's very snarky and plays well on that level as fucked-up-person trying to negotiate their fucked up life. But it has a sadness and a depth to it as well.
You have to be willing to ride along with a very flawed character. Personally I liked her a lot even though she does some very dubious things.
Also it has Guinea Pigs.
Critics love Fleabag.
Critics love Fleabag.
And me! Though technically I am critic, I'm not a tv critic by trade.
She-Ra is so good! I haven't loved an animated series this much since Avatar.
