This series is about "Fleabag" (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) , a good-looking woman in her thirties, who lives in London. She runs her own failing "guinea-pig-themed" café, that she opened with her best friend Boo (Jenny Rainsford). "Fleabag" struggles in her life, her cafe is about to close down, her sister Clair (Sian Clifford) dislikes her, her father (Bill Paterson) avoids her, her relationship with her godmother (Olivia Colman) is very difficult and her best friend Boo died. "Fleabag" is a very lonely and self-loathing person, who tries to find any kind of human connection to fill the void in her heart, usually it means sex. Season 1 and season 2 cover a lot more thematic ground, like themes of grief, spirituality and religion, temptation and sibling relationship. During all the episodes we see the world from the point of view of the main character, she gives comments, through fourth-wall breaking, about the relationship between men and women or parents and children. The fourth-wall breaking is used to a great comedic effect.
