Bitersweet ending - shame there won't be anymore.
Someone on the DS forums suggested the following which seems to fit:
So all this time she was talking to her mother and she finally says 'goodbye' at the end of the episode by telling 'her' not to follow.
I thought it was her dead mate but I'd have to watch it back to see if she references her specifically to the camera which would eliminate that ideaSomeone on the DS forums suggested the following which seems to fit:

Just watched it. Perfect ending, there’s sadness and laughter and it’s just the right tone.
It’s open enough for the possibility of another series but closed enough you won’t feel like it’s unfinished.
One of the best things I’ve watched recently throughout both series’.
Completely agree. Shame there won't be more but I think she wound it all up and ended it absolutely perfectly. Really amazingly good writing, she completely nailed it.It’s open enough for the possibility of another series but closed enough you won’t feel like it’s unfinished.

As I said to MrsC, for her to bring Fleabag back would surely just mean more of the same; she wove a tale with many twists and just about everything (apart from the bank manager!) was wrapped up. So very well done. More TV like this please!

I wouldn't have put it as her mother until the stepmother told he the statue was of her mother, and she was clutching that as she left the bust stop, then said Bye and dropped it in the bin. So could well be correct.
I know it looks like it, probably because it was dark, but she didn't bin the statue.I'm now thinking it could have been her dead mate she was communicating with rather than her mother as I'm sure she has previously looked to camera whilst shagging - not sure she would do that if it was her mother she could 'see'.

Found this on Prime following the hype on BBC.
Binged series 1 and yet to watch Series 2. This is excellent TV and highly recommended; genuinely clever and funny.
I think its trick, apart from being genuinely clever and funny, is that it's the first TV drama I've seen that has been written by and starred a female lead that hasn't rammed an agenda down the throat of a male viewer. It simply offers a different perspective.
Like Killing Eve that the author Waller-Bridge also produced, it's simply a great story, offers a different angle from the normal approach and is all the richer for it.
Highly recommended and as suggested earlier, it deserves all the BAFTA awards and nominations it received. I look forward to seeing much more of her work.
Edited to add that the OXO Tower in the background of one of the scenes was a touch of genius

Heads up - when I heard there was another live performance scheduled, I tried for tickets but they were sold out and resales were running at something like £500 a ticket, so I gave up on that.
However, found out yesterday that they are going to live-screen the Sep 12 performance in cinemas all over the country. Got tickets for that now, may be worth a shot if you want to see it.

Lots of articles and videos regarding this show on the t'interweb which I've largely avoided but this recent one is worth watching.

I am years late with this but have finally binged it in two weekends. Brilliant television, loved the choppy filmmaking and fourth wall breaking and loved how it all went to s
t in the end but actually seemed to collapse into normality as opposed to the chaos we'd been witness to for so long.
Worth bumping in case anyone has yet to see it. Glad I finally did.
