How four of this year's Emmy nominees for comedy series stare death in the face and come away with laughs
confront the specter of death by positing an afterlife, creating laughable loops of time in which their characters learn to become better people. These shows are not based on simple gallows humor — rather, death is woven into the fabric of the characters and gives meaning to their ludicrous lives., series shaped by the distinct voices of their stars, became more death-obsessed and even stronger in their second seasons.
Comedy perfectly balances the powerful drama by leaning into the goofy incongruity of a hitman-actor. The series takes plenty of satiric swipes at show business, from the pompous delusions of Barry's acting class and teacher, Gene , to the way Barry flounders his way into an audition for a plum movie role, talentless though he is.
This season Fleabag fell for a character the internet nicknamed "hot priest" . The romance began as another sign of Fleabag's self-destructive choices and ended with true heartbreak. But the season was really shaped by death, revealing more viscerally than ever how grief and guilt led to her messy emotional life. Fleabag has always felt horrible for having slept with the boyfriend of her best friend, Boo, leading Boo to step into traffic and die.
But her life is as funny as ever. Who but Fleabag would fall for a priest? There are plenty of small, memorable comic touches — including her sister's disastrous new haircut.
