Fleabag Season One: the most complicated of all.

**Fleabag is the most complex woman we\'ve come across, the epitome of the modern complicated woman. Kate asserts that no one asks so much of us in terms of what we are willing to accept or tolerate in a character. (00:30).

**We unpack Fleabag\'s crazy complicated relationships -- Godmother (6:30), Father (13:00), Hot arsehole guy (18:08), The Loan Guy (25:30), Claire (29:50), Boo (35:42)

**What\'s Your Damage, Heather? For Fleabag, there\'s a lot of it. (41:10)

**What She Said (43:50). The rabbit hole took us deep with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who gives great interviews with so much openness and insight. We start with the narrative structure of Fleabag.

**Carinn tells a very personal story about how Phoebe made her rethink some of the things she\'s said about motherhood. Can\'t imagine how this ties in to Fleabag? (50:36) (and note that tib-BU = taboo in Carinn\'s bad British accent).

**Kate highlights PWB\'s fascination with female rage (56:56). And do you know the fate of the cafe\'s guinea pig in her one woman show? (1:00:04)

**Supporting Characters. We want more of Claire, less of Jake but we also have two very surprising picks that excited both of us. (1:02:07).

**Takeaways (1:10:05). Fleabag confirmed for Carinn that "art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable" and Kate found an unexpected role model in one of the characters.
