Re: The TV thread

So the wife tells me that there's this Brit comedy, Fleabag, that's getting raves everywhere from Rotten Tomatoes (100%!) to the New Yorker. So we say why not? Well, maybe because the show (based on one episode and I won't be watching any more) is simply not funny on any level. I could barely make ...
