“Fleabag” is Ridden With Exceptional Writing and Great Performances
Shortly after season two of Fleabag dropped on Amazon Prime in 2019, Barack Obama put it on his list as one of his favorite television series of the year.

Meaux, suburban Paris, a security guard carries out the heist of the century, the total amounts to EUR 50 million. Meanwhile, Jackie Camtreud, a psychiatrist from England, financially ruined, relies on her consultations to get out of trouble. To assist her, local priest Moses, sends her more incredible characters in need of therapy. Unfortunately, they often have little money and are desperate in life. The security guard Alfred Peliete is quickly arrested and denies being in possession of the money, but then where are the 50 million euros? Recommended by Moses, Judge Martin who is searching for Alfred Peliete's stolen 50M, visits Jackie asking for her services: analysis of the conveyor to make him reveal the moneys location. Everyone is after the 50 million and every character is a suspect, Moses the priest, Josepha a transvestite ... and even the police! Nobody seems innocent in this story.

Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.
Where is Lilo's face? Disney marketing sends a chilling signal: that even in 2025, an alien is more palatable and marketable than a brown girl.
The biggest highlight of the film is easily the performance of Andrew Garfield. In his days since hanging up his Spiderman suit, Garfield has routinely churned out great performances, and Mainstream is no exception. He proves that he is willing to try anything and go anywhere in a character.
I can say without question, that this is the first movie I’ve ever seen where art imitates life so much that I could 100% identify with it on a personal level. The predominately Black cast of characters are people with hopes, dreams, fears, and ambitions.
