The final Fleabag series had been released two years prior and we haven’t yet stopped swooning over it. Fleabag has managed to cast an impression upon fans so strong that cannot be replaced. The protagonist is a relatable dysfunctional leading lady and there are a host of storylines that make the show irreplaceable.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge was the brilliant mind behind the creation of Fleabag. We know that nothing can equate to the popularity of male TV directors but then it is the creations of women that make a mark. Maybe it’s the ‘seeing oneself in their works’ that helps us or maybe it is the humor, works of women have a place of their own. So here’s a comprehensive list of shows that you can binge if you loved watching Fleabag.
