How America fell in love with Fleabag

The fact it's the first British show to win best comedy series is partly down to the changing TV landscape - non-US shows aren't eligible for the Emmys unless they're co-produced by an American company, and global co-productions are more common in the global streaming era. So great British comedies like Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, Absolutely Fabulous and the original The Office couldn't enter.

"There is a baseline appreciation for the craft of the show. But also if you look at the British shows that are really successful in America, I think there's a certain frisson at seeing British people swearing, and being as filthy as Fleabag is." "The clichés are of the British being more sarcastic and of the humour having a darker tinge to it," Stanford says."They are clichés, but there's probably some truth there."Veep nominees Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Anna Chlumsky consoled each other at the Emmys Governors Ball

"But I suppose it's universal. The feel of the thing is very British, but I think what she's writing about is far broader than that. The writing is just really good."

fleabag 'It's so wonderful and reassuring to know that a dirty, pervy, angry and messed-up woman can make it to the Emmys' is no joke, it's sadly an accurate reflection on our zeitgeist.

Literally, British is dirty!

Even the woke Emmy's know Doctor Who is too shit to get an award. You ruined it BBC.

fleabags , satan doesn't give u much , eternal life is available thru Jesus ; travel speed of thought ; freak

Why can't we just get comedy like Only Fools and Horses again? Funny, warm, loveable cast from top to bottom and didn't have to rely on sleaze or crudeness to entertain?

How did all those lovvies concerned with climate change get there? Boat or FC flying?

Its just Miranda with anal sex
