Barack Obama loved Fleabag’s second season, according to the list he released on Sunday of his favorite 2019 movies and TV shows (notable omissions: Uncut Gems, Pen15). Everyone loved Fleabag’s second season, so on its face, Obama’s admission isn’t all that shocking. BUT.
Though I cannot recall any specific reference to the former president during Fleabag’s second season, he was definitely in the first one. Obama’s in the pilot, in fact—Fleabag watches him give a speech (this speech) on her laptop in bed, then starts, uh, masturbating to said speech before *spoiler alert* her boyfriend feels the bed shake and breaks up with her. It’s a great and very funny scene, and it is now highly possible that Barack Obama, our former Hot President, has seen it.
