** The first season was also completely ignored by the Emmys. Many believe that the second season’s much greater awards success was due to votings discovering both seasons around the same time, and the victory’s for the second were regarded by some as victories for the first as well.

* AwardSnub: Creator/AndrewScott’s universally acclaimed performance as The Priest went unnoticed by the Emmys. Particularly bad as many thought he was worthy of a win. This is remedied somewhat by him getting nominated in the smaller lineups later that year at the Golden Globes and SAG.

* MoralEventHorizon: Although he's generally a horrible person, making a pass at Fleabag is basically this for him. And, if there was any doubt about that, he crosses it again in the Season 2 premiere when he tells Fleabag he's glad she miscarried because she doesn't deserve to have children. [[spoiler:Claire was the one who had a miscarriage, Fleabag made the claim to get them to a hospital.]]

* MisaimedFandom: Due to how raw the show is, and the narrative devices used that make it feel so deeply intimate and personal a viewing experience, a lot of people seem to assume that ''Fleabag'' is based on creator Creator/PhoebeWallerBridge's life. Waller-Bridge has explained that the show is a fictional and creative work more than anything else, not an autobiographical piece starring her [[AuthorAvatar self-insert]]. For one, she has a wonderful relationship with her family, unlike Fleabag. Waller-Bridge also raised the concern that people don't think women can write such complex art without it being confessional.
