I guess I just really like awkward family social gathering dramas.

This one was hard to sit through at times. Fleabag is a bit of a punk, but I think she's at least a bit relatable and funny. Godmother is just straight-up horrible. When she isn't being an a**hole behind the scenes, she's arrogant to everyone except her husband.

This makes for an interesting character and in interesting dynamic. Each episode further strengthens the relationships in this family specifically. I liked the brief, sweet moments shared between Fleabag and her father, and I really like Claire as well. The balldrop about her promotion toward the end was a really well acted scene.

I love that not even the cat wants to be in this house😂

This was really good. The arguing and shoving reminded me a bit of Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson's work. It was kinda funny but mostly quite dramatic and compelling. This was great. Plenty of laughs and great character moments.
