Review: Fleabag, BBC Three, episode 5

It has taken me a while to get round to writing about the fifth episode of Fleabag. I don't know what the journalistic equivalent of being speechless is but that's how I felt after watching it. It's not quite the same as writer's block, it's just when you see something that is so visceral and powerful on a gut level as this it is hard to find the right way of expressing your response to it.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 18th August 2016
