Fleabag

Fleabag Season 1: Hilarious, Daring, and Honest!

Fleabag – created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, moonwalks on that tightrope with grace and ends up being one of the finest tv-shows I’ve ever seen.

She whips up offensive jokes with an all-knowing smile on her face and looks at us with notoriety brimming in her eyes.

You know, with the underdog teen with barely any training in karate beating the overconfident douche trained at an established dojo. It didn’t really strike me as worth rewatching till….
