Talk:Fleabag
How do you like my review of the series?
It's surprising but true: for many mature, confident people, the classic family structure is something out of this world, unattainable, or simply incomprehensible. And those who seemingly have all the trappings of an "ideal" family—husband, wife, children—often lack the most important thing: happiness. So, for whom and why should one continue on their path if one doesn't have, has never had, and perhaps never will?
The lead character of the series "Fleabag," also the brilliant actress and screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge, challenges herself and the world, shouting from the screen: "Life goes on, no matter what!" This desperate yet sincere attempt is couched in hilarious comedy, which, however, with each episode descends further into the abyss of drama, teetering on the brink of tragedy. While watching the sisters—both of them!—you have time to both love and pity them utterly. Phoebe is struggling to find herself, but damn, she's doing it honestly! And that honesty is a huge plus, because not everyone would dare do that. But her personal life... is in ruins!
But her sister, Claire, has made her "choice"—she's married to... well, you get the idea. But she's "packaged," right? And no one thinks about how ominously these "packages" can end. But Claire prefers not to think about it. And we, dear viewers, let's think about it!
This series is a real breath of fresh air! Especially for those who are walking through life alone. Girls, women, don't be afraid to live! Don't dwell on grievances, don't wrap yourself in a cocoon of sadness. Believe me, everything will be just fine, if you just want it! And here's some final food for thought: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, having "had her fill" of all this (as her creation so clearly suggests), still got married. She wanted it, and she did it! I wonder who she'll become in the end: that same "trash" or the "packaged" Claire? Her life, thank goodness, isn't over yet.
