No movie or TV show is perfect, but then along comes something like Fleabag season two

So what makes Fleabag season two elicit such responses at a time when it’s harder than ever for a single work of television to capture public attention? If I had to single out one thing, aside from Andrew Scott, a.k.a. the Hot Priest, it’s how unbelievably tight the show is. There are just six episodes of Fleabag. Each one lasts 27 minutes or less. From the very beginning, it drops us into a moving car and never lets up on the gas.
Life teaches us not to expect perfection. No relationship is perfect. No job is perfect. No movie or TV show is perfect. But then along comes something like Fleabag that says, actually, every once in a while, you get to have this. You get to have perfect. “You know when you’ve done everything?” Fleabag asks from her spot at the table. “When you’ve been all —”Back to Fleabag in the restaurant: “And —”
“Here’s to peace, and those who get in the way of it.” You were probably expecting me to dissect the “Kneel” scene from this episode, perhaps the most talked-about moment in season two of Fleabag and also, not coincidentally, the most transgressive. “Here’s to peace and those who get in the way of it,” he says as he makes a toast, a variation on the traditional “Peace be with you” spoken by parishioners during Catholic church services. He’s referring to their visit to a Quaker prayer meeting, where Fleabag broke the silence with an inappropriate question about feminism and the size of her tits. But he’s also confessing that she has disrupted his own sense of peace. By raising a glass in her honor, he’s admitting that he likes it.
After the wedding of Fleabag’s dad to Godmother, the Priest sits beside Fleabag at a bus stop. They look into each other’s eyes. “It’s God, isn’t it?” Fleabag asks, referring to the choice the Priest has to make between her and the other soul mate in his life. “Yeah,” he responds.
