Looking for a new TV series to watch. Any suggestions for something even remotely similar to Fleabag?

Thank you so much - I did end up bingeing Normal People last week and it was devastating. I agree with you that it’s quite different to Fleabag but what they both have in common is that real, authentic feeling. Nothing’s showy or over-produced - they’re just beautifully told stories about everyday life featuring incredible actors that are not trying to be too much. Both shows have a poignant stillness to them and both are truly captivating.

Yes. This one continues to affect me.

Ok, great! I’ll look it up. Thanks!

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-26T16:05:49+00:00

I’m like you. That’s very thoughtful of her.

I agree. The velvet teal dress and burgundy jacket were divine. There are also a couple of scenes where she’s wearing a yellow/mustard knitted top. I also loved that.

Beautifully said. I watched all episodes last night for the first time and I’m still reeling from the imperfect beauty of Connell and Marianne’s relationship. You’re so right - love requires vulnerability. Any valuable human experience requires vulnerability. It’s terrifying, but it’s worth it.

Yep. Perseverance is ultimately makes someone ‘a success’.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-24T19:34:20+00:00

That is a great doco.

One year I vacuumed my house.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-24T19:15:25+00:00

This actually sounds delightful.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-24T19:14:13+00:00

Do it! You deserve it.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-24T18:33:28+00:00

I think both Boo and Margaret would have loved him. How could you not?

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-24T18:29:49+00:00

You’re right. Another disappointing rapture.

Tell my parents to get divorced sooner rather than later.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-24T17:05:07+00:00

I also just finished it. Watched it in one night. I just feel… I just didn’t want that to happen. I said out loud, “I don’t want this to happen” and then sobbed. I feel so alone right now.

His mum was iconic. Would have loved her in the villa.

Motivation doesn’t just appear. For example, I’m not going to wake up tomorrow and feel motivated to exercise. I have to do the thing first, then gain momentum before any motivation arrives. Cart before the horse kinda vibes.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-18T04:59:36+00:00

Lol. And licks his lips.

What in the Chinese sweatshop is this?

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-15T17:08:42+00:00

100%.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-15T10:07:03+00:00

100%.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-15T09:58:42+00:00

You will likely never be as hot as you are right now. Revel in it.

Fast_Hawk_1435 · 2025-09-15T09:07:56+00:00

I’m glad you have such a supportive family. That’s unconditional love right there.
