Fleabag (2016–2019)
10/10
Brilliant, hilarious and dark...
28 May 2019
Brilliantly written, acted and directed, Fleabag will make you double over with laughter and leave you with a familiar sadness, as Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character - an articulate, deep and flawed urbanite, manages dynamics with her sister and father while figuring out her own life in the aftermath of her best friend's untimely death. The spectrum of emotions is familiar and the season is wildly entertaining, witty and intensely moving.

About a Boy (2014–2015)
10/10
Relationship between sworn bachelor and his neighbors: precocious 11-year old boy and his single mother
10 April 2014
The excellent script and acting make this new show a highlight of the week. Our family - two sons ages 14, 11, mom and dad, love to watch it together as it has something for everyone. The relationships that develops between superficial, sworn bachelor Will (David Walton) and his new neighbors - wise, precocious 11 year old Marcus (Benjamin Stockham) and his single, intense, vegan, mother Fiona (Minnie Driver), is funny, filled with life lessons (value of love and friendship) as the three become closer and begin to learn from one another. Secondary characters like Will's friend Andy (Al Madrigal) are also excellent and well cast. Wonderful chemistry and dynamics between the lead characters! Great script!
