Thank you so much for liking. I recently watched Fleabag and I feel so stupid I didn't watch it sooner! The script, the themes are flawless. The characters are so flawlessly flawed.
This is a great analysis of Fleabag, one of my all-time favourite TV series, starring and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, of recent Indiana Jones fame! You're right that Fleabag is "unabashedly honest, raw, and vulnerable" which I think is it's greatest power, and, ironically, very empowering of women. It's wonderful to get the female perspective on sex, powerfully delivered in Episode 1 breaking the fourth wall and making the man the object of derision with dry wit. And at the other end of the scale, there's her unrequited love for the priest. You're also right that she portrays a multi-dimensional character, "in a world of media that frequently favors polished, one-dimensional female characters."

Thank you for sharing, Moloya :)
Me too, Chad, I even downloaded the scripts to analyse them, because I'm working on a screenplay. They even look good on paper! Thanks for sharing :)
I loved this show! And I'm yet to find anyone in my circle who has even seen this show. It's an underrated gem. And your analysis was spot on!
If You wish to discuss, you have someone in your circle now haha :)
One of my favourite shows ever. Great review!

I loved Fleabag too! I wish it never had to end!
Same! I finished the series in one day. It ended too soon.
