Phoebe Waller-Bridge is criminally under-appreciated out west. She's a fantastic showrunner and actress, and I look forward to finishing up Fleabag's second season.

I love her and was tempted to watch this but the interviewer is just so weird and kinda creepy. Maybe it's something about the POV format and his voice? Dunno. When he did the in-home interviews with T Swift and Olivia Munn I thought it was very funny how they very deliberately appeared to get him out of the house and close the door before he turned the camera off.
