I'm Guessing The Reason For This Is....


...so that TV mirrors the 'Guardian's' feminist output..?
In a recent interview, Waller-Bridge said, “I know a lot of my female peers feel really angry. I think that a woman’s response at first is to feel guilty and apologetic about it without knowing why … The idea of the ‘angry young man’ is so deeply embedded [in culture] but the angry young woman seems never to be addressed.” With Fleabag, she’s done just that.
Compulsive viewing ahead, I bet.

  1. Shouldn't that word be 'repulsive'?

    If I recall correctly the Angry Young Men of the 50s were middle class or in a privileged position, the only genuine working class writer was Shelagh Delaney. I doubt if Fleabag has a fraction of Shelagh Delaney's talent.

    It's more accurate, certainly...

    "Another reason not to watch television."

    Or to watch Netflix!

    "I doubt if Fleabag has a fraction of Shelagh Delaney's talent."

    Talent is sooooo last century!

    "I thought feminists were always angry."

    Quite!
