Phoebe Waller Bridge's Fleabag has come to an end (never to return, cast members say) and fans are in mourning. Here, Vogue looks back at some of the stand-out moments that lit up our Whatsapp chats over the past six weeks: from Claire's questionable haircut to that scene in the confessional. (Spoilers alert.)

How Fleabag's second series has surpassed its first

The first series of Fleabag was a sharply written comedy with an undercurrent of sadness, coming to a head in its final episode with an unexpected gut punch. This time around, Phoebe Waller-Bridge has managed to maintain the smart, acerbic humour of series 1 while injecting more emotional moments throughout - some of them so powerful they make you want to go back and rewatch episodes as soon as you've finished them.

What makes the BBC's cult comedy Fleabag so watchable

Fleabag divides opinion like few other television dramas. Can we even decide if it is a tragedy or a comedy? Like life itself, perhaps the BBC show is a double helping of both, with a dollop of proper sauce on top.

Fleabag is helping out with an awards ceremony at Claire's work as Phoebe Waller-Bridge's excruciating comedy continues. She is serving canapes and trying really hard not to tell any jokes. So, an opportunity for some sisterly bonding? No, of course not. Instead, the episode's highlight is Fleabag chatting about the menopause over martinis with a guest-starring Kristin Scott Thomas. Although drinking G&T tinnies in the garden with the sexy priest definitely comes a close second.

Sally Potter's film brings together a bunch of self-regarding, self-obsessed metropolitan liberal elitists.
