If you haven’t seen Fleabag’s second season, first I’ll politely ask you what the hell you’re doing, run to your television now. Secondly, I’ll tell you that the second season includes a very attractive, “cool” priest who befriends Fleabag, who swears and drinks and mocks his funny little outfits. But according to an actual Jesuit priest who reviewed this character, this priest is not cool. You heard it: the cool priest is not cool, says real priest.
In a piece for Religion News Services, Father (is that correct?) Thomas Reese wrote a review of the second season, which contains spoilers for those who haven’t seen. He writes that “Fleabag as a person is both dysfunctional and hilarious” and that her “tongue has a viper’s bite.” All very true, go on sir.
