is it me or is Boo and The Priest the only other people who look directly into the camera (in Boo’s case it’s because she looking directly at Fleabag in her memories, in The Priest’s case, it’s because he’s aware that Fleabag’s mind goes elsewhere but isn’t sure what it means)

Like I need to check again but that seems to be the case

Fleabag

snailsnfriends

on the day of fleabag's mother's funeral, fleabag looks uncharacteristically gorgeous. no matter what she does, she looks stunning; her hair falls in a chic way, and she's glowing without the use of makeup. this is perceived as an issue by fleabag, boo, and claire, because fleabag is never perfect. but for claire, being perfect is a given. when fleabag sends a compliment her way, she accepts it with no question. people expect claire to be beautifully perfect at all times, even at her own mother's funeral. fleabag, on the other hand, is never held to this high of a standard to an almost insulting degree, so when she looks good, it's a spectacle. claire can be perfect and ignored while fleabag cannot, because perfection is the anthesis of her character, whereas claire is the poster child for it.

fleabag never "gets over" her grief over boo because you can't get over grief. It stays with you, and you need to learn to live with it, like guilt, like the ways in which you've fucked up. and boo represents all of that to fleabag. she haunts fleabag in every meaning of the word, hence her name.

and many commenters on different platforms seem to be displeased with the lack of character development that lee tang gets throughout the show, as well as the lack of a "real" protagonist.

i personally think that, much like raskolnikov in crime and punishment, who i believe (here, I might be wrong since it's been like 5 years since I've read the book so my memories of it are rather jaded) also exhibited little, to no character development throughout the whole book, lee tang remains the same inwardly despite the fact he believes himself to have changed in that small amount of time and even tries to prove that by dressing differently (his hair, outfits), changing his life style (exercising more and etc.). He's still largely confused and unsure about his abilities and hasn't really reconciled with this new version of himself (the constant waves of guilt he gets, those weird dreams and etc.) and still has doubts (maybe he'll be having those doubts forever) about the nature of his deeds and whether they're justifiable or he's really just a murderer. A sudden character development would make no sense in this show, at least that's my opinion.

When it comes to the lack of a protagonist, I think that the real protagonist of this show is the fucked up world we all live in, while lee tang just emerges as a temporal solution to some of its problems (temporal because he can't live forever and clean the streets of its vices).
