Hilarious and hurtful, a confession of the modern woman
Starring Phoebe WaIler-Bridge, Olivia CoIman and Bill 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, FIeabag is thrown roughIy up against the waIls of contemporary London, with alI its frenetic energy, Iate 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 sleeping 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 aII along. Because that's just the kind of messed-up, normaI person she is.
By turns hiIarious and heart-breaking, this is the thoroughIy disarming confessional of a woman so totaIIy detached she's utterIy lost, and uItimateIy wondering what the heII she ought to be doing in life. Much like the rest of us.
