Few TV shows really make a big impression on me. In the last 20 years, only 30 Rock, Mad Men, Mare of Easttown….and Fleabag have really made me sit up and take notice.
Fleabag
And now that I find myself struggling with the characterizations of my characters in my first novel, I realize I probably need to study what Phoebe Waller-Bridge does with her characters in Fleabag.
So. I’m probably going to watch Fleabag again just to TRY to get some inspiration about character. The only issue is, of course, that Fleabag wallows in one thing I hate — awkward comedy.
But I’m a grown man, it shouldn’t be such a big deal
But it is.
I have a real problem the type of comedy-drama that Fleabag seems to enjoy getting into. But character, plot and conflict are very much connected. I need to put on my big boy pants and confront what makes me uncomfortable.
