The itch left by Fleabag

I am exhausted of explaining why Fleabag is not enough, why Girls isn't enough. I, as a young woman, am hungry for more. I am starving for something more to chew on, to watch television that reflects what it's like to be struggling in a way that doesn't involve nicking a bottle of wine and masturbating to Obama. I want to see the comedy in the truly difficult things that women face today and to find the relief in it.

Fleabag review

Amazon is an emoji fire of hotness right now, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's crossroads comedy is straight-up incendiary.
