Well, it reminded me of some things I've seen from people I know in Hampstead, Dulwich etc., but not the way people I know round here, or in my (back then) less well-heeled part of London interacted.

I'll start getting my coat as I type this but I found the series all a bit rubbish to be honest. Found it mildly entertaining but wouldn't want to see it again. Now Dinnerladies on the other hand.......

There's so much to love. I enjoy how she confounds normal dramatic convention. It's set up over 2 series for the father to run away from the wedding but instead he gets his foot caught and it turns out that he's actually in love and wants to get married. And that feels right.
And the message of love being so difficult and messy. How you can love difficult people. "The only person I'd rush to an airport for, is you"
Oh and this series she runs a SUCCESSFUL guinea pig cafe partly because of "chatty Tuesdays". She's the grown up one in this series and everyone else has the problems.

I’ve just seen the last episode and I need consoling. I can’t even think of the last few moments. They’re too upsetting.

I’ve just seen the last episode and I need consoling. I can’t even think of the last few moments. They’re too upsetting. crying with you. Big hug. But i felt the ending was very hopeful. I think there might be a season 1 ‘story of redemption’, season 2 ‘story of salvation’ theme. She is saved by his love and by loving him.

Rewatching it again.
"Are you pissed off or are you doing a poo?" is my new favourite line ever.

Just binged watched S2 today. An absolutely fantastic piece of drama both in its writing and acting. Hopefully a third series is lined up.

You know a TV series has entered the public consciousness when it forms the cornerstone of the Easter Day sermon on BBC1, as Fleabag did yesterday.

😂 I suspect it was Killing Eve that got her the Bond job.

Maybe she'll find a way of bringing back Andrew Scott's Max/C. His exit in Spectre was one of the funniest scenes ever in a Bond film.
Interested to see Freddie Mercury as the villain, partly as I didn't see BR and don't know his work. In the last two 007s, they cast villains who'd been genuinely unnerving baddies in then-recent films (No Country, Inglorious Bs) and turned them into amusing pantomime characters.

Malek is quite outstanding in Mr Robot, well worth a watch.

I tried watching the first series a year or so ago and could not get into it. A friend recently recommended it, specifically the second series, so I jumped into series 2 and swallowed it up in a couple of nights. What a brilliant bit of writing this is. Strong, interesting characters on a real journey. Great fun. Brilliantly timed too, there was one moment with FB and the Priest that had me laughing and the pause in the dialogue was timed perfectly for my laughing to continue and stop - it didn't feel coincidental but very accurate direction. Considering myself a fan now.
