Fleabag (2016 — 2019)
Fleabag (2016–2019), a British comedy-drama TV series created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, was originally a one-woman show performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013. Produced by Two Brothers Pictures for BBC Three in partnership with Amazon Studios, the show premiered on 21 July 2016 and concluded its final season on 8 April 2019 to widespread critical acclaim. The writing, acting, and unique nature of the titular character have been praised by many critics and viewers, positioning it as one of the greatest comedy series of all time. Waller-Bridge herself won a British Academy Television Award for Best Female Comedy Performance in the first series. In its second season, Fleabag received 11 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and took home six wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress for Waller-Bridge herself, and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. Other cast members including Clifford, Olivia Colman, Fiona Shaw, and Kristin Scott Thomas also received acting nominations. The series also earned a Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series and Best Actress for Waller-Bridge’s performance along with a nomination for Scott’s guest appearance.
Fleabag, a sharp-tongued woman, grapples with the challenges of life and love in London following a devastating loss. Despite her anger and sorrow, she pushes away anyone who offers support, instead maintaining a tough façade. The lead role is played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge in this series adapted from her 2013 solo performance. We see Fleabag engage in a one-night stand with Arsehole Guy before later meeting Bus Rodent on a bus. She confides in him about her recent breakup with boyfriend Harry. As she struggles to keep her café afloat, she has an unpleasant encounter with Bank Manager while seeking a loan. Later, at a feminist lecture, she gets into an argument with her successful sister Claire. She also pays a visit to her father and his girlfriend (who was once Fleabag’s godmother), swiping a sculpture from their studio along the way. During a taxi ride home, she reflects on the tragic death of her best friend Boo, who took her own life after being betrayed by her partner.
