Fleabag (2016-19)
Country: GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 TV Series: 2 seasons/6 episodes (27m)
Director: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Cast: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sian Clifford, Olivia Colman, Bill Paterson, Andrew Scott
Synopsis:
A guilt-ridden Londoner learns to forgive herself by continuing to run her friend's cafe and falling in love with a Catholic priest.
Review:
In allocating to herself the role normally assigned to a male character such as Alfie (what is the feminine for womaniser, anyone?), Waller-Bridge gave this short-dose confessional piece just the edginess it needed. The first season was almost wilfully repellent comedy of embarrassment in the Peep Show vein; then came the raw emotional comedy of the second. Both had loads to say about where we were as a society then, with humour and generosity.
