I can't say how many times I scrolled past Fleabag when looking for something to watch. After I saw the reviews and kept hearing how good it is, I gave it a shot. Am I ever glad. It is quite different, quirky good, clever, funny, sometimes laugh out loud funny, and with a very special kind of soul.

Now I will pass this forward so that it is your turn to see how good it is.


It is outrageously funny! They break The Fourth Wall to great effect. Thanks for the reminder to catch up on it!


Just watched the Season 2 premiere last night and it is one of my favorite episodes of television. Everyone raving about season 2 wasn't lying if the rest is as good as Episode 1.


The season 2 premiere was so (bleep) awesome! I’m up through episode 4 and no, the people raving were not lying. The show gets better as it gets deeper into everyone’s dysfunctions, or coping skills, depending on how you look at it.

Just caught the most recent episode of City on a Hill.

That and Chernobyl are the 2 best shows to come out this year. The show is special.

Stranger Things season 3 was great. It's nice to just unplug and spend some time with that gang and all the 80's nostalgia.

for those who like City on a Hill - what is it about the show that makes it worth watching in your opinion?

I listen to the Bill Simmons podcast and in his recap he said "my daughter is never allowed to ride the carousel now!"

Well written, well acted, well directed. Takes from all time greats like The Wire, The Sopranos, and the Departed. But not derivative. Has it's own story to tell.

I plan to watch this at some point. This is what RT has to say:

Season 1
City on a Hill
Critics Consensus

Though City on a Hill's meandering story can't quite match its ambitions, it's entertaining -- and even occasionally riveting -- to watch Kevin Bacon and company take on bureaucracy.

73% TOMATOMETER / Critic Ratings: 30
67% Audience Score / User Ratings: 15

it's gritty...has a real feeling to it....I do not know early 90's Boston, but it feels like what early 90's Boston or any north eastern city would be....

My opinion of the show went up after watching this week's episode (4). Wasn't a bad show before that. Just picked up major steam.
Went from good to great.

I watched that Amazon prime show you recommended. The one with Miles Teller. You weren't lying. So slow. I fell asleep to it numerous times.

good, because I kept reading reviews that were basically suggesting I lacked intelligence if I did not "get it".....and I never did. It is difficult to describe how slow it moves sometimes.

I've been watching the show since the start and didn't know the character's surname was actually Saint. I thought that was just a nickname.

When did his mom get on board being in the drug business?

I was wondering the same thing....I was trying to recall the ending to last season. It appears that she is on board because she thinks he is working in a quasi-government type thing?

So, I've watched the Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men and Game of Thrones...All of them hooked me on episode 1 of the first season. Watched the first couple eps of Breaking Bad. Just didn't quite do it for me. Seemed kind of boring.

Should I keep watching, and stick it out?

I don't think Breaking Bad clicked for me until about Season 3. It's one of my favorite shows ever, so I'd say absolutely yes. But I understand where you're coming from.

Mr. Campbell... who cares?
I just finished the first season of Mad Men. What a fantastic show, and I expect it only gets better.
That ending scene of Don on the stairs is heartbreaking. They really manage to portray him as sympathetic despite his shortcomings.
