First of all, well I have to wish you all a very Happy New Year!!

And we start 2025 with one of the best series ever made, Fleabag.  Actually, I'm not telling you the whole truth, because it was initially a play, not a series. But, luckily for all of us, Phoebe Waller-Bridge decided to grace us all with the series. The bad news is it's only got two seasons.

Diving into the story, a woman known simply as Fleabag, has no filter as she navigates life and love in London while trying to cope with tragedy. Now I'm not going to tell you what tragedy this is or I would be spoiling for you, wouldn't I? What you do need to know is that Fleabag has a very dry sense of humour and she refuses to take life seriously probably as a defence mechanism. She is in an on-again-off-again relationship with Harry, a songwriter who loves her very much, but finds it difficult to accept certain aspects of her personality.

And then the second season comes and we meet him....the so called Hot Priest, the one and only Andew Scott. If you find the first season brilliant, prepare to have your mind blown by the second one, which is a masterclass in writing and acting. The gut-wrenching line "it will pass" will go down in history as one of the best lines ever written, but you'll have to watch it to really know what I mean. 

And then there's Olivia Colman, who plays Fleabag's stepmother/godmother. Colman never fails to deliver an award-worthy performance and this is no exception. She's equal parts hilarious and outrageous. 

All in all, be ready for an emotional rollercoaster of a series, one that will leave no one indifferent. And if the dry, British sense of humour is not your cup of tea, just do yourself a favour and wait till the second season.
