What I love about this character is that she's not actually that bad, she's not a proper villain. She's a little annoying, a little cruel, a little offensive, but there are moments where I understand her and empathize with her. And then there are moments where I want to throw mashed potatoes at her face. She's just so real and complex. All the characters that Phoebe Waller-Bridge writes are fleshed out and feel like real people. And of course Olivia Colman was absolutely brilliant.

If anything, the fact that we know anything about how the two feel and why, in the space of a 20 minute or so episode...is a testament to the writing. We don't have to be shown everything so obviously and have a whole episode on it. The audience is smarter than that, and frankly it'd be boring. Godmother is a part of her life, but she doesn't affect the plot that much. She's kind of a nuisance and that's it. You can disagree, that's fine.

I can't with Olivia's talent, she cracks me up. That scene at the wedding with the deaf guy is just so freaking funny.

I love the subtle narcissism and passive aggressive remarks of this character. It means that, because it's all written from the perspective of fleabag, you're never quite sure if she really is that horrible from other peoples point of view or if Godmother's image is tainted by fleabags opinions and past experiances.

@princevesperal

I think she is genuinely flawed, narcissistic and cringe-worthy, but it's only with Fleabag that she is passive-aggressive and particularly cunty, because they don't get along. I think most people would find her quite tolerable, with her constant smile and jovial personality, especially if they didn't have to see her all the time. Even though she tokenizes them, her deaf, lesbian and bisexual Syrian refugee apparently like her enough to attend her wedding. And people flocked to her "sexhibition". So it's not just a matter of Fleabag's perception, but rather her very relationship with godmother, which is tainted.

You left out my fave bit. The one where they were having an argument about who had a miscarriage at her wedding reception and she went.. umm can whoever has a miscarriage be having this convo somewhere else. I thought that deadpan unsympathetic delivery was genius.

Maybe show empathy... but she never will change because she likes being that way, the centre of attention ALL the time.
