I've tried to think of my favorite moment from the dinner scene, but it's almost impossible to pick one. The dad's speech not finishing a sentence, the hysterically tense atmosphere, the brawl, ... you name it. But what really sticks in my mind is the priest talking about his family in that hilarious way - "Oh fun, my parents are alcoholics!". Brb, I have to watch it again.

When Fleabag asks her Sister Claire at the Silent Retreat what she would do if someone stole all of her skin care products, she simply replies: "I'd k*ll myself." Honestly, same. It's so dry, I love it.

When Fleabag says she doesn't believe in God and the painting in the background falls off the wall at the same moment. Fleabag's shock and Hot Priest's simple "I love it when he does that" make it a fantastic scene.

Claire calls Fleabag sobbing and hysterical, begging her to come over, only to find out that she made a...well, bad decision on her new haircut, saying she looks like a pencil - and Fleabag tries to comfort her, but the only thing that works is saying to her, "Claire, it's French!"

When Fleabag sits in her café and tells us that the next man who walks in will be ridden to death, but then her dad walks in - her dry "Dad! Not ideal" gets me every time.

Claire and Fleabag being the only ones at the "Women Speaking" feminism talk to raise their hands when the speaker asks, "Please raise your hand if you would trade 5 years of your life for the so-called perfect body".

Fleabag joins the Hot Priest in that silent room where you wait for an impulse from God and then stand up to share it with the word. Well, it seems like Fleabag has some special spiritual recommendations.

The whole scene is brilliantly written and contains funny elements as well as being quite profound - it's actually the first time anyone really seems to care about Fleabag, and we can almost feel her trying to cover her insecurities with silliness. Absolutely worth seeing.

Of course, the confession scene has to be on this list. It's brilliant - watching Fleabag's "always funny" facade fall and confess all her fears and anxieties in this very intimate scene is fantastic. And of course, the tension that has been building up between the priest and Fleabag over time, finally leading to that very hot "Kneel" scene - damn.

Undoubtedly the saddest but most beautiful scene in the series. Fleabag and the Hot Priest both realize that their relationship has no future and that they have to go their separate ways to get over their feelings for each other. Also, that "I love you" is probably one of the most real confessions in the history of shows. We can all feel the pain when the Hot Priest tells Fleabag that the feeling will pass - even if it hurts. A lot. Still makes me cry every time.

Fleabag is a fantastic show. Honestly, it's well written, funny, sad, dramatic, relatable, ... I could watch it all the time (and I do). And while it is really hard to find the best moments in this hilarious show, I have at least tried to come up with a top 10 of the moments in Fleabag that live rent-free in my head.
Contains spoilers for both seasons.
