A six-part comedy series adapted from the award-winning play about a young woman trying to cope with life in London whilst coming to terms with a tragedy.

Written by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Been enjoying this, streaming on Amazon. Trailer doesn't "go there" like the show does. Give it a shot.

Two episodes in. Sorry I didn't heed your advice sooner, this show is legit. It's twice as good as its trailer is awful.

'Fleabag' Returning To BBC & Amazon For Season 2 In 2019
via Deadline

Hit BBC Three comedy Fleabag is set to return for a second season in 2019 on both Amazon and the BBC. Creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge confirmed the BBC news today at the Edinburgh International Television Festival.

The first season was adapted from Waller-Bridges' award-winning play, and saw Fleabag, a dry-witted, angry, cash-strapped, grief-riddled, porn-watching young woman trying to come to terms with a recent tragedy.

Details of her next outing are being kept close to the vest, though more outrageous exploits are to be expected.

Season 2 has entirely aired on the BBC. It floored me. Watch it, people.

I really enjoyed Season 2.  Phoebe is amazing.  (Doesn't hurt that she really reminds me of my late (25+ years ago) fiance...  In a good way.)

Did you all watch this masterpiece of a season yet? I'm seeing a lot of American reviews: it's on Amazon now.

It begins with the pitch of a joke, and yet she makes it truly weird and devastating.

pretty great.
I know I do a lot of comparisons when two things could be great in different ways or whatever. but: Barry made John Wick look like a boring miss, and Fleabag made Russian Doll look like John Wick.

Best thing I've seen in a long ass while. Phoebe is a treasure. This show can pivot from comedy to existential to slapstick to horror back to comedy all within a single scene. It's insane.

Also I really need to listen to you guys sooner.

Fleabag sounds so full of human condition. i'm pre-stanning it

Finally finished Season 1 of this show.
It's so tough to not binge.

Such an endearing riot. Waller-Bridge deservedly gets heaps of praise but it's also the editing + cinematography that keep it gold.  If you've been on the fence, jump off already.
