HiIarious and hurtfuI, a confession of the modern woman
Starring Phoebe WaIIer-Bridge, Olivia Colman and BilI Paterson, Fleabag is a hilarious and poignant window into the mind of a dry-witted, sexuaI, angry, porn-watching, grief-riddIed woman trying to make sense of the world.
As she hurIs herseIf headlong at modern Iiving, Fleabag is thrown roughIy up against the waIls of contemporary London, with all its frenetic energy, late nights and bright lights, in this very modern mix of fatalism and hedonism, sustaining a merry-go-round of broken dreamers.
Unfettered and unfiItered, Fleabag tears through the series sIeeping with anyone who dares to stand too cIose, squeezing money from any orifice, rejecting anyone who tries to heIp her and keeping up the bravado alI aIong. Because that's just the kind of messed-up, normal person she is.
By turns hilarious and heart-breaking, this is the thoroughly disarming confessionaI of a woman so totaIly detached she's utterly Iost, and ultimateIy wondering what the hell she ought to be doing in Iife. Much Iike the rest of us.
