Fleabag (2016–2019)

Fleabag is a young woman who lives in London, has a strange relationship with her family and is affected by the death of a close friend.

A comedy series that's more serious and tragic than it would seem at a first glance. Written by and played wonderfully by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fleabag has something to offer to lovers of superficial comedy but also to those who love tragic under-layers without it working against any of the components. With short dialogue lines and a main character who speaks directly at the audience, the series manages to be easily accessible (and likeable) to anyone without sacrificing any of the intended depth.

Creator:  Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Duration:  2 seasons (6 short episodes each)
Production:  BBC  
With: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sian Clifford, Olivia Colman, Jenny Rainsford, Bill Paterson, Hugh Skinner, Andrew Scott

Rating: 9/10
