This show is a masterclass in messy, hilarious, and heart-wrenching storytelling. You'll laugh, you'll wince, you'll want to call your sister—just so honest and sharp.

Overview

A portrait into the mind of a dry-witted, sexual, angry, porn-watching, grief-riddled woman, trying to make sense of the world. As she hurls herself headlong at modern living, Fleabag is thrown roughly up against the walls of contemporary London, with all its frenetic energy, late nights, and bright lights.

The Guardian

None of the characters are even close to being likable... They are all defeated and broken, and all their energy is spent deflecting whatever life attempts to throw at them. Which is hilarious, obviously.

The New Yorker

At just six episodes, the show is a precision black-humor mechanism, a warped and affecting fable about one single woman's existence.

The Guardian

Waller-Bridge’s dialogue is whetted to such a fine edge that you hardly notice when it strikes – you’re too busy laughing at the joke, the audacity – until the blood starts to well up in the wound a second later.

The New York Times

The show distinguishes itself with its restless, almost feral energy and slap-in-the-face attitude.

The Hollywood Reporter

"Fleabag made Waller-Bridge a hot property in the U.K. This latest short revival sold out in literally minutes, and has been greeted with five-star reviews."

IndieWire

Amazon is an emoji fire of hotness right now, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's crossroads comedy is straight-up incendiary.

Rotten Tomatoes

Hilarious, emotional and utterly surprising, the British comedy created by (and starring) Phoebe Waller-Bridge deserves the hype.
