Fleabag: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Award-winning comedy about a feisty young woman's chaotic life
Year: 2016-2019
Certificate: 18
Meet the angry, feisty, chaotic young woman we know only as Fleabag, whose best friend is dead, whose life's a mess and whose behaviour is often inappropriate and self-destructive.
That doesn't sound like a recipe for an award-winning comedy, but writer and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge somehow made us all fall in love with her character. She's joined by Hugh Skinner as Fleabag's on-off, mostly-off boyfriend Harry. Her highly strung, high-achieving sister Claire is played by Sian Clifford (Life After Life, The Suspect), and Oscar-winner Olivia Colman is her godmother turned stepmother who's married to her dad (Auf Wiedersehen, Pet's Bill Paterson). And not forgetting Andrew Scott, the Hot Priest who got everyone's hopes up - would Fleabag get a happy ending?
If you're unafraid of warts-and-all-women who make mistakes, take risks, have sex and smoke and drink too much, but are ultimately trying their best to get through bad times, this is the show for you. There's a frankness to Fleabag that is bold, scary and thoroughly refreshing. (Two series)
