BEST COMEDY

FLEABAG ( AMAZON) Fleabag, a British series available on Amazon Prime, is a darkly comic portrait of a self- destructive woman ( Phoebe WallerBridge) reeling from the death of a loved one. Waller- Bridge, who adapted the series from her one- woman stage play, is a marvel, offering viewer asides from uproarious jokes to devastating glances without ever risking tonal whiplash. The series feels genuinely unique in a saturated television landscape. The moment after you think you know Waller- Bridge’s character, with her jokes about sex and her family, you realize you never knew her at all. It’s funny and sad and real all at once.
