      2016 Comedy Drama List
      100% Tomatometer 42 Reviews 92% Audience Score 1,000+ Ratings A dry-witted woman, known only as Fleabag, has no filter as she navigates life and love in London while trying to cope with tragedy. The angry, grief-riddled woman tries to heal while rejecting anyone who tries to help her, but Fleabag continues to keep up her bravado through it all. Comic actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge stars as the titular character on the series, which is based on Waller-Bridge's 2013 one-woman show of the same name.

      Kelly Lawler USA Today Hilarious, emotional and utterly surprising, the British comedy created by (and starring) Phoebe Waller-Bridge as a struggling young woman, deserves the hype (and all those Emmys). Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post "Fleabag" starts off like a dirtier "Bridget Jone's Diary," but it soon develops into a more nuanced and heartbreaking (still humorous) novella about a person trying to find her truest self. Rated: A- Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Deborah Ross Daily Mail (UK) The comedy series Fleabag... just gets better and better. And better. Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio The performances are essential to the effectiveness of its comedy. Even though it feels like Waller-Bridge is deeply improvising, the best moments are the dramatic ones, cause she slaps the parameters of a society in decline. Full review in Spanish Rated: 8/10 Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Ailis Brennan GQ Magazine [UK] It's dirty, it's sexy, it's disgusting, it's hilarious - and it's about being a girl. As in, a real girl. Scared? You should be. Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion ...an honest-to-hell portrait of urban alienation and its tragicomic hues. It's jittery, droll, pathetic, amusing and unapologetically confrontational. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Ethel C Not my cup of tea. 👎🏻 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Ally Moore J I might be late to the party but at currently made it to finishing on a first time watch and I must say it is sweet show that will make your mood. The humour won't be for everyone. Enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review matthias s "Fleabag" Season 1 offers a refreshingly raw and irreverent take on modern life, serving up a cocktail of humor, heartache, and hijinks in equal measure. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's portrayal of the titular character is a tour de force, inviting audiences into the chaotic yet endearing world of Fleabag with her biting wit and vulnerability. The show's rapid-fire dialogue and fourth-wall-breaking antics keep viewers on their toes, delivering laughs and gut-punching moments with impeccable timing. While some episodes may feel slightly uneven in pacing, the overall narrative arc is both compelling and cathartic, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with honesty and nuance. Supported by a talented ensemble cast, including Olivia Colman and Sian Clifford, "Fleabag" Season 1 is a binge-worthy delight that leaves you eagerly anticipating what's next for its flawed yet irresistible protagonist. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Savannah G This is Singularly my favorite show of all time! The Character development of Fleabag, the fourth wall, the incredible distance, and the relatability is unbelievable- you will laugh, you will cry, and you will be so tied in to see what happens next. Pheobe Waller-Bridge is one of the best writers and performers of a Generation - Legendary. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Lewis M I just watched this again for the first time in years and it is still INCREDIBLE. Such a well written, funny, sad, well-acted show. One of the best of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Thomas S Extremely funny. Beware : British humor! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
