Fleabag is one of the best shows I've seen in ages. As a man in my late 30s, I skipped over this show for a few weeks on iPlayer as I saw it was on BBC3 and assumed it was most probably intended for a younger and more female demographic than me. Which it probably is.
I am glad I ignored those assumptions and watched Fleabag.
The character of Fleabag is written and performed brilliantly by Phoebe Waller Smith. Fleabag often breaks the fourth wall, hence the comparisons to Miranda. This isn't just to share witty asides - instead we are invited into her guilt-ridden conscience. In the first few episodes, Fleabag is only prepared to shows the audience her cool, hedonistic side; but as the series progresses more of the character's inner turmoil is revealed.
I look forward to seeing how this will play out in the final episode of the series. Will Fleabag finally confess to the audience and begin to come to terms with her actions? I certainly hope she does, if it will help her. I will definitely be watching, and rooting for, Fleabag.
