                        Fleabag
                     (to camera) 
Oh my god, oh my god. What am I going to say, what am I going to say...? 
                    (to the room) 
I sometimes worry-
                           (beat) 
-that I wouldn't be such a feminist if I had bigger tits.

I love this show, but I was wary about reading a screenplay as I never have before. But the writing is so approachable and so engaging, that I was sucked in all over again. Despite this being a 400-page book, it reads so quickly and I found myself at the end before I knew it. It's a book about pain and love and understanding yourself and letting her be. I loved it.

Transformative. I was captivated by the series, and reading the script only gave more depth and nuance to the characters I already cry over. Seriously.

Fleabag fundamentally changed me as a human and now I fancy priests. I cannot overstate how much I love this series and the scripts are such a vital part of it. The stage directions and scene setting notes add context and depth to what is already such a poignant piece of art.

I wish I could read/watch this for the first time again – one of the most interesting stage to TV adaptations ever.
