“Go out and get some fresh air! Stop crying in your room with the curtains closed. Do something better with your life. It’s a great show, we all love it, but come on now! Pull yourself together. Open the curtains and go outside.”
Easier said than done. "Fleabag" is a British comedy-drama series created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. It premiered in 2016 and concluded its second and final season on April 8, 2019, receiving widespread critical acclaim for its writing, acting, and the uniqueness of its title character.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who plays the title character Fleabag, won a British Academy Television Award for Best Female Comedy Performance for the first season, while the second season received 11 Primetime Emmy nominations and won six, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. The series also won a Golden Globe for Best Television Series and Best Actress for Waller-Bridge, with a nomination for Andrew Scott.
Well, Andrew, you can't "it'll pass" me. I will continue to watch Fleabag four times a year. But I'll cry with the curtains open at least.
