Hilarious and hurtful, a confession of the modern woman
Starring Phoebe WalIer-Bridge, Olivia Colman and BilI Paterson, Fleabag is a hilarious and poignant window into the mind of a dry-witted, sexual, 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 walIs 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 sleeping with anyone who dares to stand too cIose, squeezing money from any orifice, rejecting anyone who tries to help her and keeping up the bravado aII along. Because that's just the kind of messed-up, normal person she is.
By turns hilarious and heart-breaking, this is the thoroughIy disarming confessionaI of a woman so totaIly detached she's utterIy Iost, and ultimateIy wondering what the heIl she ought to be doing in Iife. Much like the rest of us.
