Oh, we’re on Snapchat too - just incase you were wondering… add us, bbcthree.
Her little wink at the camera at 3:04 implying that she's only got us to talk to kind of broke my heart.
Reminds you a bit of youtubers.....
We're always there.
For...her friends?
she needs to write a black mirror episode
@@dejavu011 or the classic sitcom act
Being torn apart by the therapist for the nervous jokes you make out of discomfort is a mood
TheAlbinoskunk It’s mainly with ‘gallows humour’ where we think it’s inappropriate to laugh along...
oh my god YES
Not the security blanket being torn to shreds! 😭
I’ve never been to therapy (can’t afford it yet 😭), is this really how it is ?
@@karengrace6890 thank you. 💙
Therapist: Catholic?
Fleabag: Yes.
Therapist: Looks good in the???
Fleabag: Yes.
Therapist: I understand.
easy get him to convert to C of E
@@robertjackson3552 he's Irish. Would never convert to C of E.
@@DarrenBates so the irish people are catholic? sorry Im from the other extreme of the globe
@@fabri_gonzalez not all of us are Catholic but a lot of are.
Looks good in the what?
The true brilliance of this scene is that this therapist is extremely talented. Unexpected.
How do you know that pray tell?
No she isn't.
@@samo917 In five minutes she pushed past Fleabag’s defenses and got to the heart of her issue. Hugely perceptive to zoom in on the decision to stop having sex and the person not hanging sex with.
It's like a half dozen sessions compressed into 5 minutes.
If anything flea bag revealing so much about her self in first session is what made the therapist able to to her job so great
“Just a girl with no friends and an empty heart” ... ouch
mclaire99 by her own description.
Why so much cruelty, i'm going down the garden to watch my spiders in the hut.
I felt it on a personal level
And the worst thing is its all her own doing.
E
They should make a mini series with this therapist. Great acting
this therapist already has a series...it's called Killing Eve.
@@ADifferentVibe lmao !!!!
Fiona Shaw is a treasure
@@aspic5881 Emmy and Tony Award-nominee Fiona Shaw...
maybe somebody is. It's my housemate.
"Your little scarf isnt helping" had me in stitches
At 4:09 when Phoebe Waller-Bridge says "so what's the point in you?", the way Fiona Shaw's expression drops slightly in response to that - like it's a put-down when really it's an earnest question - and she repeats "You know what you're going to do" - but this time like she's slightly given up caring what she does - is such a perfect little moment of acting.
Leo Watkins wow, you’re right... it’s the subtlety of it too.
Yeah I think the therapist’s reaction sort of makes her agree that there’s no point in therapy
I don't think she ever cared
Which is a shame because up to that point, the therapist was really, really good. The bout of pride in her work makes her not only look a bit petty but also oblivious to how people who are in bad spots often have the tendency to take others down with them.
@@DrZaius3141" people who are in bad spots often have the tendency to take others down with them."
It's called THe Quicksand Syndrome....
"Excuse me, I've got dry forearms." I just love her delivery of that so much. 😆
She's using Carolyn Martens' moisturiser.
It's the deadpan face
omg. that was my comment
@@soijustlistenedto... the one that makes you smell like arse
Is this a throwback to when Fleabag offers to go in the other room and "moisturize her wrists for a bit" at the silent retreat? 😅
From 1:43 to 3:05 is the first time she's being true, having been completely disarmed and stripped bare by Dr. Dursley. Then she breaks and suddenly clings to us as her final coping mechanism... Suddenly we go from being a side-gag, to being an actual prop within the show.
God damn this is a good show.
dr dursley lol
LMFAOOOO not Dr. Dursley please 💀
PLEASE Dr. Dursley
I have gone through therapy and this depiction is very accurate. The pain and baggages hidden behind the humour, the mocking tone in her defensiveness towards the therapist, the hastiness to her voice when she admits to herself and to the therapist what really is the issue so as to touch (barely) on the pain and shame it came with. So much nuances on a few minutes of film but so true in real life.
The therapist's "I understand" is just gold
It's actually a very common phrase for therapists to use to show they're listening nonjudgmentally
@@ryanzhanfeng9322but in this particular situation it is hilarious
@@ryanzhanfeng9322 It's the fact that she's just asked if he's good looking that gets me
yah. The therapist has also wanted to f a priest at some point. Saying "I understand" is like the professional way of communicating "oh yeah I get it, I knew this priest who was so hot." It's that sort of subtle brilliant humor that hints at the depth of the character without saying it out loud. Part of the strength of this show's writing; there's no one-dimensional bit characters that just exist to develop the main characters. Even if you don't get much time with a character, they drop hints to deep and complex personalities and quirks.
The point being that everyone is a person, not just Fleabag. She talks to the camera and thinks she's so different and the main character of the world. She relishes feeling special and superior in some ways (brains, looks, cleverness) and inferior in others (morals, honesty, etc). And yes she's exceptional but not *so* exceptional in every way. And that belief is a big part of what isolates her and ultimately makes her depressed and basically only able to (barely) related to her sister, the person most alike her in terms of lived experience.
So the therapist who seemed so polar opposite to Fleabag, tells us with a single "I understand", that she's also got a complex emotional/sexual/horny side to her. It's done in a very blase and matter-of-fact way, as if to say "of course I'm a sexual being, did you think your sexual urges were so unique and abnormal?" It's super funny but also damn good therapy.
"Are you in love with him?"
"Ha! No."
As soon as she said that, I knew she'd be in love with him by the last episode. I just finished the season an hour ago and I'm still near tears for some reason. I'm gonna watch it all again.
commenting on this so you get the urge to watch it all again 🥰
ohhhh noooooo, another reminder for you to watch it all again four years laterrrrrr ;)
I’m not an expert, but I think this is brilliantly written, impeccably directed, and beautifully acted 👏🏼👏🏼
I love this show so much, its so funny but its so sad at the same time
But somehow it's relateable
Season 2 spoilers!!!!
Do you know what's going on with the preist? He can see fleabag breaking the fourth wall, is there a metaphor or meaning behind it I don't understand?
@@556to762 I think it's him paying attention and listening to her while most other people she knows don't really do that. Like at the first episode of season 2 when no one was interested in knowing how she was doing and Fleabag pointed that out at the camera but then the priest interrupted her by asking what she does.
Yeah I don’t know how phoebe does it
556to762 it’s meant to point out that the priest notices Fleabag and her idiosyncrasies more than her own family does; he pays attention to her and can read through her, the way the therapist does
I would watch a whole fleabag episode about just her talking to her therapist. Just like on season 2 episode 1, the whole time it was a dinner party. This show is so damn entertaining!
3:40 'I understand'. Cracks me up, the snappy editing as much as the candid insight. Ha ha!
01:56
"I'm very honey and your little scarf there isn't helping"!
ROTFLMAO
This woman very funny!
beth98362 horny not honey
@@TheSinghstory Thanks, horny
There's a honey-like substance if you do it well!
is her scarf turning her on? Why?
Ew@@ti84satact12
2:49 the way her face changes after she attacks. so subtle and yet so striking!
Yes! Amazing
the scarf line cracks me up every single time hahahah
SAME. i love it.
The "Oh yes" always gets me. The delivery is so good.
I initially didn't realize this was a miniseries. The narrative arc is so amazing in this one scene that it could be its own short film.
'I'm good at this.' Her delivery is just so wonderful. Just dead on.
i'm a therapist:-) . i've rewatched this scene 10 times. it's brilliant. just brilliant.
3:57 When the therapist says « you already know what you’re going to do, everybody does » .When she says everybody, it’s like she got through to her and she knows her way of thinking (this kind of breaking the fourth wall/schizophrenia), great writing
What do you mean by her schizophrenia? Just curious as I’ve never heard that applied to Fleabag
nah, I think she just means everybody does, it's breaking the classic stupid excuse "I wasn't expecting (that/us?) to happen"... Well, yeah, you were
A real hero is the director and editor, each of these shots is taken from so different takes as can be seen from the different head positions once cutting back and forth. Id say they did about 4 takes of coverage on each , at least one take of wide, some mediums, all in all about 5 hours to film this and from that they got some really honest organic choices to edit together. The DP helped so much by giving the counsel lots of room in front of her the shots, and less for fleabag, making her feel contained. Kudos.
Quite possibly the best written, cast and performed scene on film EVER. EVER. Genius.
Everyone in this show is perfect for this show. The writing is awesome.
What I noticed is when the therapist says "You know what you're going to do. Everybody does", she probably means that everybody knows what they're going to do, but it could also be understood that everybody knows what she (Fleabag) is going to do, given the constant breaking of the fourth wall/her talking to the audience.
"Tell me about the sex."
"All of it?!"
LMFAO
My co-worker said that this scene was hilarious, but I saw it as profound drama. The therapist is a bit wonky, but she’s good - she cuts through the crap.
And yet the crap is what is to be loved too
@@samo917 not in therapy
Yeah I don't think it's great form to be as aggressive and serious as this therapist lol,. But you can't do a full hour long scene in a TV show so you gotta do something to cut to the chase
A masterclass of a scene.
i will forever remember fiona shaw as "dry forearms" because of this scene
This is a perfect scene of television, and it is *criminal* that they end the clip with fleabag saying "I don't [know!]", without showing a few frames of the next scene: Fleabag at the church event, doing exactly what she knew was going to do.
PWB is an incredible actress. Her emotions are so varied sentence to sentence, there isn't any expression or hesitation that is overlooked.
You know what you're going to do.
This entire thing is so perfect, hilarious, well-acted, and brilliantly-written.
Actually searched for "very horny and your scarf isn't helping" and this showed up
At least he remembered her birthday
The worst part is he didn’t
He gave it to her at the dinner a few months later
This scene is just pure gold.
Such an excellent show. Can't believe it's the last series. Guess it's better than doing it to death but don't know what I'll do without it.
She's just as good at being Harry Potter's aunt as she is at being a therapist
Omg and I was wondering where have I seen her before 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ thx
ngl this is me when I'm talking to my pyschiatrist. Like you're on the verge of crying but still trying to hold it together through joking. And then you talk about your issues in the tone of talking about the weather but in this held back tone like if anyone even pokes you you'll break into tiny pieces.
Anyway, Fleabag is such a mood.
That subtle fourth wall break
'I've got dry forearms....' the angst....Oh what have I missed - this is superb.....
Girl with no friends and an empty heart...you say that like its bad thing.-friendless girl with no heart
Aunt petunia lol👏🏼
this scene is impecable writing and delivery
“You already know what you’re going to do” is a great lesson in trusting gut feelings
1:11 hurts at a new level
my compliments to the costume department, that's a Comfy Therapist look if I ever saw one
true, but that little scarf isn't helping
This is one of the most awkward and nerve racking scenes in the show and that's brilliant because thats exactly how it feels to ask real and vulnerable questions about ourselves
Carolyn, is the MI6 really not paying that well?
cue intense music £25,000 a year for starter Case Officers.
There are better paid roles.
"They're always there. They're... always there." 🤩🤩
That 'yes. Yes. Mmm yes' from PWB is just sublime.
omg Fiona Shaw
Right? She underplays it beautifully.
‘Scuse me, I’ve got dry forearms.”
Best depiction of therapy in film imo
This is my new favorite show.
This is absolutely genius. Love at the end when she says to the therapist, and what's the point of you?
This entire scene is insane, I love it
"Just a girl with no friends and an empty heart" I think that therapist just summed up my entire life
the muted flashbacks were so powerful
I came here on a good mood and that title swipped the smile off my face
Dry forearms - miming surgical scrubbing…
This is such a brilliant scene.
this writing is genius. "just a girl with no friends and an empty heart" owwwww
That's an interesting therapist. Mine spent the entire time interrupting me and judging me by saying "You seem like an ANGRY person" and I responded with:
"Only when people assume they get me within 30 seconds before I've finished talking" And I walked out. He looked like the shrink from GTA 5, so I guess I dodged a bullet.
Watched and enjoyed Actors for most of my 66 years but does it get better than this?
Every nuance, inflection, expressions, dialogue and delivery. A Piece De Renaissance... A Tour De Force...A Magnum Opus or any other appropriate foreign phrase embedded into everyday English :)
Talking of which @@SexuallyRepressedMegalodon If you ever get executed in France then do not choose the guillotine or if you do, go first because the blade gets blunter with every execution and they could take 4 or 5 attempts b4 you are dead.
Caroline!!!!!! Gosh she looks remarkably well in anything!
3:03 This bit is brilliant
- So what's the point in you?
- You know what you're going to do.
Love it!
Brilliant 2nd series.
Thank you Pheobe.
The writing in this show is super on point
the lead actress is the writer.
What a way to start therapy."Excuse me I've got dry forearms."
I assume people know that we're her guilt. She doesn't just subvert a male gaze. She questions the morality of gazing at all. The ethics of sight. We are voyeurs. We are trespassers and we are guilt itself. That's why the show ends. She leaves her guilt behind. We, the public, are guilt. We are guilt and are guilty.
Christianity really ruins you people. Every where you look the first thing that comes to your mind is guilt.
@@NightWatch707 Amen
@@NightWatch707 That's why alcohol was invented
Indeed. Now square that by 1M and you've got my life. Illegal streaming camera in my home. I must Google this Aunt Petunia / Villanelle story. It sounds a propos. I can't " do " therapy bcse of the camera. Some experience is just 2 dark 2 be believed. Nothing to say, really. There's no band aid in talk therapy big enough. I'd rather garden or take a walk, anything really.
NightWatch707 as opposed to... having no guilt at all and pursuing a selfish existence where you don’t care what effect your actions have on others just as long as you get what you want?
Well that sounds healthy.
Ugh, this scene is perfection.
I feel like the point of a therapist is to show you what you can already see.
Love the moisturizer... getting ready for the prize fight brawl.
I've got dry forearms. Best line. Ever.
When I read the book, My year of rest and relaxation I always pictured Fiona Shaw as the therapist Dr Tuttle.
Just started this and wow. It is excellent.
lost my shit when i say fiona shaw and every time she talked i just couldn’t stop thinking about carolyn😂
Therapist: "So why have you come to this session?"
Patient: "It was a birthday gift from my father."
Therapist: "Is that a joke?"
Patient: "No."
Therapist: *dives for her pad and pen*
The quick witty dialogue is what sells the show
3:50 still gets me every time. 😂
Brilliant writing. Brilliant performances.
“So why have you come to the session?”
“It was a birthday present from my father”
“Is that a joke?”
I would’ve asked too 😂😂😂
i dont know why but the "excuse me i've got dry forearms" with Fiona's delivery took me tf out
Omg that’s Aunt Petunia!! Never knew that
therapist totally understood the priest situation
Omg I’ve been waiting for season two! 🙌🏻
Therapist: You've already decided what you're gonna do
Fleabag: So what's the point in you?
Therapist: (*Oh shit*) You know what you're going to do.
Bruh.
Fiona Shaw is just amazing.
"There's always there.." looks at us
at first i didn’t like the show at first and now I love it, it’s funny but also very relatable.
Her and Elliot Alderson would make a weird ass friendship but they have something so important in common, us.
This show is a masterpiece. I said this a lot and I will keep saying it. Or writing.
That "gotcha" look at 2:50 :D
I will never forgive them for giving us only 12 episodes.never everrrr verrrrrrrrr
