Fleabag is written by and stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge and is inspired by her Edinburgh fringe play. Waller-Bridge narrates to the audience and sometimes gives knowing looks to the camera.
Fleabag tells her father that she is a 'a greedy perverted selfish apathetic cynical depraved morally bankrupt woman who can't even call herself a feminist.'
In the first scene she allows her boyfriend have anal sex with her. We see her attempt to steal and in order to secure a bank loan for her struggling cafe she even flashes her bra at him.
By the end of the episode she bares a little of her soul to a cab driver. Her business partner Boo died as she wanted to get knocked off by a cyclist and ended up dying. Boo's boyfriend had an affair and she just wanted to make him feel bad and it all went wrong. (I suspect it was Fleabag who had sex with him.)
This was an interesting opening episode, crude, rude, embarrassing, funny and hints that it might go to a darker path. Bill Paterson plays her dad and Olivia Coleman is the wicked stem-mother but both were underutilized in the opening episode.
