The first series of the comedy drama starred Phoebe Waller-Bridge as 'Fleabag', a twenty-something café owner in London who narrates the lives of her family and friends around her, all the while keeping a dark secret that gradually descends the comedy into pathos as it looks at themes such as grief and guilt. The series was originally a one-woman show, and Phoebe has previously opened up about the huge success of the story, telling Harper's Bazaar: "The reaction has been really quite emotional, actually. I'm constantly on the brink of tears in conversation about things that happen to people. People connect to a character like that and they say they can relate so deeply, even if it's just to one aspect of her. But the women who have been talking to me about this character, there's an urgency with which they tell me they feel like they are a bit more normal because Fleabag has become popular."
