Flashbacks reveal Fleabag opened the cafe with her best friend, Boo (Jenny Rainsford), who recently died after walking into traffic. ... Though the show resolutely remains a comedy (especially in the first half of the season), as the story develops, it gradually becomes clear that Boo's death weighs heavily on Fleabag
The show is, miraculously, both a hysterical farce and a stunning portrait of grief and loneliness. Fleabag is a hot mess who makes one mortifying decision after another. But she's also someone with an enormous heart who finds herself estranged from the people for whom that heart most strongly beats.
