Adapted from the award-winning play about a young woman’s life struggles in the backdrop of London, this Emmy award-winning comedy series is a story of a deadpan-witted, no-filter woman known as Fleabag.

The most interesting part? Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the actual name of the protagonist, breaks the fourth wall to narrate her extraordinary story herself to the audience.
