Pilot aired in January 1999. Otherwise it would be on the list.

I may destroy you any good?

I thought it was great but I've noticed that folks either love the show or hate it.

Ah my bad. Just so used to seeing a lot of those shows on the same lists.

Still I think Fleabag and I May Destroy You are a stretch. Only a few years old and may not age well.

 

[Yaddam Yussein]

Fleabag is terrible

 

[VertigoKnight]

Fleabag is great.

I get that kinda of comedy is a bit too much for a lot people, but I love that she's such a throughly self centred and selfish character.

Maybe Fleabag, but I think I May Destroy You will only get better with age. Don't think we'll ever get show about sexual assault that's as entertaining.
