Barry. Not even close. Fleabag is pretty good as well though; the first episode would make my top 5 comedy episodes of the year behind Veep’s finale, ronny/lily and You’re the Worst’s finale.

Fleabag. A perfect little jewel box of a series.

Don’t make me choose. It hurts.

They are very different. Both are great, why pit them against each other?

WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?

If Barry continues at current quality for another few seasons+, I’d probably say barry because it’ll ultimately entertain me more, and for longer. As it stands at two seasons each, Fleabag has the edge.

Since when is the Emmy winner the better show in recent years?

Fleabag and Barry are both great shows. The comparison isn’t exactly fair since most people oversees haven’t seen Barry. Amazon is a more accessible streaming service over HBO. Fleabag is funnier and is an overall better comedy but Barry does better with engaging subplots and still manages to incorporate comedic elements. Barry is the overall better show but Fleabag is still excellent and both are addicting and engaging as holy hell.

The fact that “ronny/lily” didn’t win for directing just shows how big this Fleabag bandwagon really is. Bill Hader deserved that award without question. Not saying Harry Bradbeer didn’t do a fantastic job, but this shouldn’t have been his time.

Barry. I don’t get Fleabag. Of the great UK shows, this is the one the industry and people are in love with?
