Fleabag
Hilarious and hurtful.
2016·2 Seasons·12 Episodes·★ 8.3
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.
LUXEN Decision Guide
Does this fit your time and taste?
Fleabag uses comedy to stay close to grief, shame, desire, family pressure, and self-sabotage. The direct address to the audience creates intimacy, but the real movement comes from slowly seeing what the jokes are protecting and what Fleabag cannot quite admit to herself.
Best fit
Who it is for
A strong fit for viewers who want short episodes, sharp humor, emotionally complicated characters, and a series that can become much heavier without losing its comic voice.

Start here
Read the synopsis, then check the trailer.
Pay attention to the moments when Fleabag breaks the fourth wall and when she does not; the difference often tells you more than the dialogue.
