Fleabag (2016-9)

Fleabag is the freshest breath of air in a television landscape rife with high quality programming. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is wicked clever. Her writing is witty. Her delivery is perfect. Her character is complex. Her frankness is refreshing. And breaking (and re-constructing) the fourth wall is a brilliant device used to great comedic effect. All the characters are great, but I particularly like Fleabag's sister Claire. Her character is hilarious and maybe kind of relatable.  I'm only sorry the series is so short, just six hours in all.  But a brilliant six hours it is.
