Spoil Me

Thank you to Jessie for commissioning this episode! This episode is the one where Ellie tries to convince Tom to move in with her again, and he utterly rejects her, with the air of someone who thinks that rejection is permanent. It's devastating, but it's also what motivates her to get serious about investigating the Sandbrook case, and they find a new lead. Turns out there's a furnace at the end...

Thank you to Bert for commissioning this episode! So this is the episode where Fleabag finds herself in therapy, even though she had only intended to get herself a refund for the voucher. And I think we can all agree, she's right where she should be. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Jessie for commissioning this episode! So this is the one where Susan comes back, asserts to Nigel that she wants to have a relationship with him, tells him she's dying, and then goes on the stand and bears witness against him. It's truly an odd move and I really don't understand her motivations on this one. Also, Mark Latimer basically dumps Tom and I am lowkey sick of this guy, tbh....

Thank you to Bert for commissioning this episode! Well this season is off to a STRONG FUCKING START, kiddos! I'm very much here for the addition of Moriarty, and I know that it wasn't technically the right call but I'm SUPER proud of Fleabag for punching the irredeemable asshole Martin in the face. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! This episode was rrrrrrrOOOOooUUUUUUgggHHHHHHH Sorry for crying so much.

Thank you to Krista for commissioning this episode! This book has started out strong, and I'm very much here for this storytelling style, as we all know. I wanna know the logistics, and these methods of unspooling a tale are SUPER heavy on logistics! Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again very soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! So this is the one where Otis finally realizes that he has a crush on Maeve and tries his best to be ethical when Jackson comes to him seeking help on wooing her for himself. Otis attempts very manfully, but in the end he cracks and purposely gives bad advice. Turns out, it wasn't bad ENOUGH. Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon...

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! I can't believe that there's only one season, only SIX MORE EPISODES, and then it's over. I'm not READY. This episode we find out what really happened with Boo, and it's truly devastating.

Thank you to Agnes for commissioning this episode! It's time for the episode where Paul Rudd is an aging rock star with no partner, and this was actually rather fun and wound up surprising me in the end. Of course, the whole thing with Piz is tiresome, but eh. What can you do. Also, I will grieve for Mac's cute ex. Thanks for listening!

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! Oh boy, this episode is gonna be the one that turns me against Otis's mother, isn't it? I'm just so disgusted that she lets her ex needle her into violating her son's privacy the way she did. GIRL. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. Meanwhile, Maeve is going to get an abortion, and I have a LOT to say about it. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you...

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! Oof. Y'all, this show is a lot. I am always shocked that I have so much to say about such short episodes. Thanks for listening!

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! So this is the one where we get a bit more of a look at Jean, Otis's mother, and I'm actually pretty interested in her perspective on things. Also, Otis finally gets a new client and it seems like business might be about to take off. Also, it seems that Maeve could be pregnant, but perhaps not? It's unclear. Either way, she seems very m...

Thank you to Agnes for commissioning this episode! This was a rough one. I just don't really know what's going on this season, but I wish they'd stay away from hot-button issues when they're clearly not capable of writing about them with any kind of real perspective. Anyway, I'm interested to hear what you all thought.

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I'm very excited to be starting this new series, which I didn't have any preconceptions about because I apparently confused it with SEVERAL other shows. So this was all a big surprise! I'm very much here to talk about this hilarious premise, tho, and I'm all about sex education in general so I think this sounds like a fine idea if it we...

Thank you to Bert for commissioning this episode! This episode was pretty intense, albeit hilarious. fleaback and Claire are sent to a retreat for Mother's Day, in a transparent attempt by their father to get them as far away from himself as possible. This results in an unexpected confession from Fleabag, and I really don't know how Claire will deal with it. Thanks so much for listening, and I wil...

Thank you to Heather for commissioning this episode! This episode I start on a new series called The Children Of Divinity, and the first in the series is called Awaken and was written by Heather's husband! So that's pretty neat. I really enjoyed the start of this book. It was full of surprises, from the writing style to the setting, and had enough mystery and supernatural fun going on that I reall...

Wow. Okay so. First of all, thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode and this entire series! I had a great time watching it. Unfortunately, this did not stick the landing for me at all. I really get what they were trying to do, but there were a million holes in the explanations given for things, there weren't explanations for things that needed them, and the themes I felt VERY confiden...

Thank you to Tristen for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we get to go inside of Daryl's mind and see what it's like...and honestly it's confusing but kind of awesome. Also, Nita is dealing with Dairine and her father's feeling after her mother's death, in an effort to keep the family together and also to maybe avoid dealing with her own? And she relocates Dairine's bed to Pluto...al...

Thank you very much to Bert for commissioning this episode! So we get some real uncomfortable shit this episode, from several directions. First off, it looks like Claire's husband not only has a drinking problem but is also willing to put the moves on her fucking sister, which means that he could already be fucking around with someone else. He grosses me out. Also, the bus rodent is back. And it's...

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! From what I've read in reviews since finishing the show, this episode is considered by most other viewers to be a major failure. Personally I don't entirely agree, but I certainly don't think it was executed well. What do you think?

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! So this episode is the one where we finally get to see the shape of Peter's whole plan, and Rebecca's role in it. The kids are meant to simply be vessels to these two adult ghosts, and remain tucked away in a memory for the duration of their natural lives. But it turns out that Miss Jessel isn't as forgiving, or forgetful, as she seemed. Thank...

Thank you very much to Jessie for commissioning this episode! I can't believe I have to wait so long until the next episode! Gah! There is so much going on in this episode, but my main takeaway is the fact that these solicitors can apparently get away with anything and the judge doesn't give a FUCK. I'm irritated, y'all. Thank you all for listening, and I will see you in a few weeks with a new epi...

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! Finally, we get our first murder of one of the OGs from the crew at the start of the book, and we're not sure what's going on but we know it ain't good. I am so eager to see what happens to everyone, and whether there's a happy ending or not because frankly I don't know if this series has any interest in those. Thanks again for listening, and I wil...

Thank you to Arielle for commissioning this episode! This episode I get to talk about what I watched live a week earlier, which is the closing of the case of the Dean's murder. I really enjoyed the episode, but there are some substantial holes in it that I'm not able to ignore. I'm also quite baffled at the fact that we're already done with this murder, and I have no idea what's next! Thank you al...

Thank you again to Paul for commissioning this episode! Oh man, this season is going to be brutal, isn't it. I'm not excited about how much I hate Joe, because I have a feeling this is just going to be the tip of the iceberg. I'm also not sure what to do about Beth since I deeply sympathize with her but also am getting so irritated and then I feel guilty for that. And then of course, there's Lee A...
