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.
A bittersweet 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, in this very modern mix of fatalism and hedonism, sustaining a merry-go-round of broken dreamers. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, this is the thoroughly disarming confessional of a woman so totally detached, she’s utterly lost, and ultimately wondering what the hell she ought to be doing in life. Much like the rest of us.
Angry, pervy, outrageous and hilarious, Fleabag arrives with a bang, as she spins through the city grasping at anyone and anything that might keep her head above water.
Haunted by memories of her dead best friend, dumped by her emotionally-fragile boyfriend, and now desperately trying to sell her stolen goods, Fleabag attempts to rekindle romantic fires to distract her from the mayhem of her life.
Fleabag helps her inappropriate brother-in-law buy a present for Claire, who is organising her own surprise birthday party. Meanwhile, on the hunt for a date, Fleabag reconnects with a toothy friend.
Fleabag and her sister Claire reluctantly visit a female-only, silent retreat, courtesy of their father. Their enforced silence is interrupted, however, by an unusual neighbouring weekend workshop, explosive secrets coming to light, and a surprising connection with an old acquaintance.
Fleabag and Claire return to their family home for the annual memorial lunch.
Fleabag takes a date to her Godmother's Sex-hibition to discover a few shocks are in store for her there, including a declaration of love, a familiar piece of work, and an entire wall of surprises. But where is Claire? The season finale forces Fleabag to face up to her actions, and to finally reveal what happened to her beloved friend, Boo.
Picking up one year after the end of the first series, while Fleabag appears to be more at ease with herself and her newly bustling café, her family seems to be whirling into further turmoil around her. Having not spoken to her sister since we last left her, Fleabag reconnects with Claire at their father’s engagement party, which turns out to be far from a celebration. There, she meets a Catholic priest who turns her life upside down… Series 2 is an exploration into everything that makes us human: love, religion, hope and heartbreak.
Fleabag celebrates Godmother and Dad’s engagement and is intrigued by their new Priest, but the evening comes to stormy end when old tensions resurface.
A counselling session elicits an uncomfortable truth from Fleabag, and she finds herself somewhere unexpected. Elsewhere, a chat with Claire brings some unwelcome news, Martin and Fleabag face off, and Jake wonders where Claire is.
Fleabag helps with an event at Claire's work which inevitably ends in disaster, but an introduction to Claire's colleague proves intriguing. A chance meeting with a stranger opens her eyes.
The priest takes Fleabag for some quiet reflection leading to an unexpected revelation. After a day spent looking back on painful memories, Fleabag searches for solace, only to find more trouble.
Claire has a crisis and turns to Fleabag for help, whilst a familiar face makes a reappearance at the cafe. Hilary makes a friend, Martin demands answers, and Godmother and Dad’s wedding hangs in the balance.
As the day of the wedding arrives, Jake wants to know where Claire is, and the priest upstages the bride. As secrets are revealed and decisions are made, will Fleabag find the ending she’s looking for?
