Yeah Jake’s creepy but I took it as he knows his dad isn’t good for her and that she needs to get away…I dunno I found it kind of sweet that he seems to want her to be happy even if that means she won’t be his mom anymore
@Halloween All Year Round Okay, I see I like to think this is an extension of the theme of not writing people off despite their earlier behavior, and it was to show Martin's son has sense and goodwill despite what everyone thinks of him.
I also like the part that Claire was "happy" with Martin until Fleabag showed up in her life again. Of course she wasnt and she was just bottling up her emotions like she said in the first episode but Fleabag is always the way she is and she doesnt have to pretend to be someone else and play a certain role like Claire pretending to be a responsible loving wife and as soon as Claire got Fleabag back in her life it became harder for her to pretend that she is happy and thats exactly what annoys her in the relationship with Fleabag, that Fleabag can do whatever she wants to and she will overcome it and seeing that brings out a certain reality check for Claire
jake has a problem with boundaries which they play for jokes all the time but it broke me that even he wanted them split bc i always interpreted his fixation on claire as her being the only parent that cares for him with marin being himself and his bio mom not being in the picture and it seems to be such a big loss for him when/if she leaves
Also a quick little part that i got only after watching the show few times Fleabag wants to give money back for a dinner to Priest, when in season one she stole money from her date at the dinner. And then, some people dare to say she didnt change much
Weirdly the therapist is like a genius, she’s got fleabag figured out pretty accurately. later in the series fleabag admits that more than anything she wants someone to tell her what to do and how to live her life. The therapist isn’t telling her „actually you need to decide for yourself“, she’s telling her „you’re already deciding and you might hate it but in the end it’s good to make bad decisions because that teaches you how to make better decisions that will make you feel better“ She’s just being super eccentric and cryptic about it.
to be fair, therapists aren’t supposed to tell you what to do, just give you advice and coping strategies so that you come to make the decisions yourself! but that was a very awkwardly delivered scene (on purpose) and made her seem inadequate 😂
The therapist in this episode was played by Fiona Shaw, who is a very famous and accomplished actress. By this stage the show was capable of attracting some pretty big guest stars. Keep a look out for the episode with Kristin Scott Thomas.
and this lead to Fiona Shaw playing one of the three female leads in Killing Eve, which was also created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Great actress and a total scene stealer
i’ve been using this series to essentially ‘watch’ fleabag bc i can’t find anywhere in nz to watch it but y’all are one of my favourite commentary channels fr
Guys, I was raised Catholic in the UK and all priests drank a LOT and smoked a LOT. It’s not against their vows at all. Back in the day, priests were feted by local families of the parish. They’d get a few drinks in every house they visited, usually whiskey. I’ve seen many a drunken priest! 🥃🥃🥃
@@teowachowski1143 I think its meant to exclude trans women because in this case only women by birth are thought these specific and fucked up relationship values
You should watch Sherlock and the film “Pride”. Very different Andrew Scott roles. He and Phoebe did a play together. Phoebe wasn’t going to do a season 2, since season 1 was adapted from her play, but HBO wanted one. She said she worked it out once she realized it should be a love story. Claire is played by Phoebe’s drama school classmate. She insisted on her being cast. That’s why they have such great chemistry.
I started watching This show with you guys. I wanted to go ahead and watch the rest of season 2 but I’m gonna watch it with y’all because y’all are the best 💓
Yeah, I think this is a case of them three being American and American Christians, no matter the denomination, being really fucking weird. I grew up with a German Lutheran pastor as grandfather, and did Sunday school in a Catholic setting, and I was brought up, by religious people, to challenge religion. To me, doubt is a fundamental part of faith. Even with being an agnostic today, I still believe that. In my experience, American Christians, including Catholics, tend to take religious texts very seriously and not realise they should be challenged.
I love that you are watching this show. I adore the whole show but S2 with the ( hot )priest seems to elevate it. Fleabag seems to be a better person and feels better about herself with his introduction. With the therapist, I feel like she read Fleabag as gonna do what she's gonna do regardless of whatever advice she's given.
here is a suggestion how to fix the video format of your videos: currently the three of you are on the bottom 50% of the screen and so is the video You Are watching. put the three of you on the top of the screen and the video on the bottom. not much point in giving the back of the room 50% of the screen.
You should check out “1000 Cats”. 🐈⬛ It’s on UA-cam. Worth a watch if you like Brett Gelman. Glad he’s finally getting more recognition in his career after this role and Stranger Things; dude is awesome! *also, 16:46 sex is totally 💯 forbidden for Catholic priests. Even cool priests 😎 ✝️ ….something that _definitely_ contributed to the whole systemic issue of predatory priests.
Make sure to check out Patreon to see the rest of Season 2 early! www.patreon.com/ReelTimeYT
You should watch Crashing!
Creepy Jake's "Tell her to leave him" moment is such an underrated major moment! almost gives me chills every time lol
the priest is so refreshing in this season as fleabag strictly interacts with the strangest men possible
I have never related to anything more than "I don't know how to talk to babies, sorry" 🤣🤣
sameee haha
Yeah Jake’s creepy but I took it as he knows his dad isn’t good for her and that she needs to get away…I dunno I found it kind of sweet that he seems to want her to be happy even if that means she won’t be his mom anymore
@Halloween All Year Round I think then he would say “WE need to leave him” instead of “Tell HER to leave him”
@Halloween All Year Round are you saying this to open a discussion on his intentions, or just to state your opinion?
@Halloween All Year Round Okay, I see
I like to think this is an extension of the theme of not writing people off despite their earlier behavior, and it was to show Martin's son has sense and goodwill despite what everyone thinks of him.
“You’ve always wanted a baby.” and “You’ve always wanted a fringe.” still makes me laugh a lot 😂

Fleabag wants to give money back for a dinner to Priest, when in season one she stole money from her date at the dinner.
And then, some people dare to say she didnt change much
The “She hasn’t bought anything yet “ and then the “OH SHIT” made me cackleeeee
Phoebe Waller Bridge in her SNL Monologue explained why the character became ‘Hot Priest’. It’s because he listens.
Martin the No. 1 nominee for menace of the millennium
He does a great job of playing a prick asshole, tho lol
Seriously Martin is the most insufferable he’s my most hated character on this show for sure
I still hate the god mother more
@@nedababic8865 for me is a tie
In the show I understand he comes off a little sinister here., but The Other Guys is my favorite movie. And I will never not see him without that face

You know how Godmother hates Fleabag when the notion of looking at her face to paint a portrait is quite a task lol

I'm studying psychology and that scene was hilarious
Claire being done with life is a lifestyle a lot of us have adopted without knowing it. Also, her “No!” was brilliant 😂

@@memento81 Connected, but her appearance in Killing Eve (2018) predates her appearance in Fleabag (2019)!
@@memento81 she's my favourite character in killing eve
LoL When he says "I am sorry for your lost" and fleabag forgot de misc' but was thinking about Boo. Noticed just now

I want to explain the “It’s a love story.” when the Series gets over lol
I’m really hopeful one of them figures it out!
Fleabag being a performative Christian congregant makes me chuckle.
9:50 Aunt Petunia from the Harry Potter Series.
I thought I was an atheist till I saw the Second Season of ‘Fleabag’ 😂 (Andrew Scott is just a work of art)
DUDES, you're spoiling us with this speed on uploads. thank u ♥
Looove this reaction series so much. Been catching up with your movie reactions as well. Thanks for the consistent uploads guys!
8:52 The lawyer is the MVP of the Episode. The actor has brilliant comic timing 😂
9:32 She’s in a relationship she can’t get out of not because it’s hard but because she’s conditioned to just get on with it, as so many people have.
afabs?
@@MarieTheOstrich Assigned Female at Birth.
Hey could you just say "people" next time? Like I know the intention was probably to be inclusive of trans people but it kinda backfires lol
@@PokhrajRoy. aah, thanks!
@@teowachowski1143 I think its meant to exclude trans women because in this case only women by birth are thought these specific and fucked up relationship values
"Where's Claire?"
Bear in mind - religion in Europe and the UK is quite different from the US. Believing in god in the UK doesnt mean you take the bible literally.
exactly - they almost all swear and drink booze
I love that Fleabag is wearing the same jumpsuit to church that she wore to that catastrophic dinner from the previous episode.
It’s not the same jumpsuit, they have different necklines, but they are very similar
All these people are terrific actors, and even though when Fleabag and the hot priest are together is acting masterpiece

I’m so happy for Mark Ruffalo Discourse. So happy to hear we have a consensus on this.
I adore the guy in green sweater he's on a different level with his comments (assuming he truly hasn't watched the show before).
The True Crime Podcast that comes out of Jake the Stepson’s Killing Spree is something we’ll be looking forward to 😂
YESSSS fleabag episode of the day lets gooooo
Hilarious and depressing is my favorite genre. Better call Saul is like that too.
I started watching This show with you guys. I wanted to go ahead and watch the rest of season 2 but I’m gonna watch it with y’all because y’all are the best 💓
Pheobe Waller-bridge's sister is actually the composer of the soundrack this season!
Can’t wait to see you guys react to the finale! It’s a masterpiece!
I'd say most of the Irish priests I've encountered were a bit sweary. We tend to be a bit more relaxed with adults swearing in general.
13:26 He was Prince Edward in ‘The Crown’.
13:05 You know what, I’d give full marks to the burn and if I was in her position, I’d own the word ‘weaky’.
9:10 that came out of nowhere lmao 😂
Sweary priests aren't that rare, especially in Ireland.

I've never been so early to anything... Love this
Just subs to you guys! Keep up the good work, I'm so happy to found your channel!
Martin' son knows what's up
Andrew Scott would SO get it - dog collar or not!
I love that you are watching this show.

They're in the rectory.
Yay 😀
you guys should check out bojack horseman!! funny and depressing, a lot like this show
She looks like her mom. That’s why she turned her around.
please try an edit out some of the "what"s if possible.
one of you guys only reaction to everything is saying "what"
i'm so happy i dont use tiktok cos if i ever have that reaction to something.. i have failed

Oh my goodness. Did you say he was here "with G and tea". I love Adam Scott. I will always love him the most is Moriarty but....
I'd rather be a strongy than a weaky :)
Most certainly! ;-)
❤️
I was eagerly waiting for the new episode! If the three of you are not in love with Andrew Scott already, I’m going to be very disappointed.
I see Martin as Yuuri from Stranger Things. Annoying character lol
