Synopsis

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.

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
George Marros I sat to binge this show because my gf wanted to. I thought it was gonna be a rom com at best. What I saw was an amazing show about this generation. Great overall and can't wait for the next series
Khun Kru Mark A genuinely awful and inaccurate look at modern women... I hope!Within the opening seconds of this horrible 'hit piece' on life, I knew it was gonna be bad. But as I knew that an IMDb review was on the way I felt obligated to give it time to unfold. I made it for less than five minutes. This isn't a comedy. It's the diary of a bitter, 21st-century narcissist, who thinks people want to know about her 'feelings' and opinions. If you really want a warm, funny and brilliant look at the absurd life that women face, look at the incredible genius of 'Miranda' starring the genius, Miranda Hart. Now THAT'S comedy.It looks like a few people involved with the show all submitted their fictional accounts of the show for the IMDb reviews section... all suspiciously at the same time, too! Wink wink! But don't be fooled. There's a reason that you haven't heard of this before!If you're still undecided then consider this: The progressive cartoon 'The Guardian' called it "Hilarious!" and all their readers agreed! You've been warned!Men - this could save you hundreds of thousands of pounds if you watch this and you're thinking of getting married!
ianwilmoth-14058 This is like the British version of "girls"- which is to say it's way better than girls. Despite having lived with these sorts of people in NYC, there is a big cross pollination with London, and i've been there too. That being said, I had no desire to watch more than one episode of this, whereas I lasted half an episode with girls. To the people who think these characters are unrealistic, the fact that they are totally realistic is the cringe factor some speak of.
adrossan Good God mason barge, are you from a rival network or something ? We all know the US is isolated & barely above reading level but jeez, wooden ? What a load of crap ! I found the show to be interesting and an extremely accurate portrayal of a person grasping at answers while acting out of grief, guilt and self-recrimination. Fleabag is suffering the pain of loss while trying to find her way in a cold & unfeeling world, while clinging to the warmth of a best friend and the free & easy (better ?) side of her nature.Yes she is grasping at straws, coping with grief and loss by self- medicating with alcohol, sex and throwing herself at the wrong guys, but that is life. Unlike many US shows, the characters don't whine & question their every act, thought, deed & fleeting notion - being English the characters are somewhat reserved, desperate to avoid offending or embarrassing others, and try to ignore someone else's misdeeds. That is not wooden, one dimensional or boring. It takes some intelligence and knowledge of the national characters, traits and above all, psychology of humans in pain & loss.Yes she's foul-mouthed, but no she isn't a prude, repressed or ignorant of human desires and foibles. The show isn't afraid to explore many issues that American television can't cope with & prefers to ignore, and it is told from a woman's viewpoint, with female insights and bitter rivalry all around.Americans don't understand subtlety & perhaps this is why some US reviews just "don't get it". That's fine with the 95% of the rest of the world which isn't American, we get it, like it would like some more - Brit wit, not Yank w ank.8/10
