Fleabag, the brainchild of creator/writer/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is British comedy at its finest, complete with some fourth-wall-breaking to please fans of the bard.
The whole saga began as Waller-Bridges one-woman show, which began as a challenge from a friend to create a sketch for a 10-minute stand-up storytelling night. Waller-Bridge then took her brainchild to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it seized the coveted Fringe First Award. Fleabag (yes, that’s our heroine’s name), a woman with a famously dry wit skips through life with no filter, as she navigates precarious relationships in London while coping with tragedy. Angry and grief-riddled, she tends to reject anyone who even tries to help her, all while always cracking a joke and maintaining a jovial facade through it all. The show ended after two raucously funny seasons, but Waller-Bridge may revive/revisit the character once she turns 50.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch Fleabag online.

Fleabag Reviews
What the critics are saying:
- “It is, in short, an immaculately scripted (by Waller-Bridge) and performed (by everyone) half-hour – certainly up there with the best of the first series, and probably up with the best of TV comedy-drama entire.” –Lucy Mangan, The Guardian
