When you search for the show, you'll see it's labeled "comedy," which of course you would if you watched the first episode. As a result, when the plot got deeper and deeper, everything became out of control. The life of the heroine who was originally joking and condescending gradually collapsed. She walked alone on the streets of London, crying and wearing makeup, sitting at the coffee run by her good friends. Hall, crying and saying that he didn't want to do this either.
Filled with weird jokes from start to finish, the show tells the whole story with the heroine's inner monologue, interspersed with her past experiences.
The heroine runs a guinea pig-themed cafe in London with her best friend, has a middle-class sister and a remarried father, and her boyfriend always makes excuses for things to fall at her home after breaking up with her. The heroine is usually in a daze and always plays tricks to death. As a result, she slept with her best friend's boyfriend, causing her best friend to die in a car accident. He is always rude, and always feels that his beauty is the only characteristic that he can show. At the same time, she is also very vulnerable and lonely, but she still pretends to be smooth sailing, and can't even ask her sister for money.
Fleabag literally translates as a bag with lice, which means that life is messy and messy, which intuitively reflects the current situation of the heroine: the cafe is on the verge of bankruptcy, her boyfriend broke up with her, the relationship with her stepmother broke down, and even her sister chose to be with her keep distance. In the first episode, the heroine wanted to borrow money from her sister, but out of face she lied that she didn't need assistance. When her sister wanted to hug her, she subconsciously opened her sister's outstretched arms. This is a very sad detail. She even built a city wall for her relatives. What has life ruined for her?
Sister Claire lives with a hypocritical and wretched husband, and has a stepson who always wants to bathe with her. When she gets a promotion opportunity to go abroad to Finland, she chooses to give up this opportunity for her husband. Father's new wife is a control freak, a bitch who pretends to be innocuous, always mocking her two stepdaughters viciously with a smile, and even so, the father doesn't choose to leave her. At the biological mother's lunch meeting, the heroine finally turned against her stepmother and made a big fuss at the stepmother's exhibition. At her sister's birthday party, she was forcibly kissed by her wretched husband. The heroine told her sister to stay away from this hypocritical man and seize the opportunity to go to Finland, but in the end, her sister chose to trust her husband.
The best friend Xiaobo may be the reason why the heroine still insists on living. She is kind and humorous, always comforting the heroine and going crazy with her. But the heroine slept with her boyfriend, Xiaobo was heartbroken, and said, "I'm going to ride a bicycle and pretend to fall accidentally and hurt a few fingers, so that he will come to the hospital to see me", but when he walked to the road, he An accident happened.
The heroine is like the silhouette of many people's lives, disturbed by a bunch of trivial matters, and has to live, pretending to be strong on the surface, broken on the inside, and longing for love and attention. Therefore, they can only hide their desolation by poisonous tongue and death. We will think that she made her life like this by killing herself, but if you look closely, what the heroine did is not all wrong. She will still persuade the heroine to leave her wretched husband and talk to her father about her dead mother. Then both of them laughed and would encourage their buddies to confess to the person she really likes, even if she wanted that person to be herself.
At the end, the strong appearance that the heroine tried to maintain is finally broken, as if everything in life is mocking her, the father still lives with the control freak stepmother, and the sister did not go to Finland to continue to endure the strange stepson and husband. True love, the ex-boyfriend found a new girlfriend, and will no longer be an excuse to go to the hostess's family. Fortunately, the heroine made a new friend, the approver who approved her loan application, and another person who was also overwhelmed by life. The heroine has money to continue running the cafe again.
There is one comment I like very much, it says: "Life is really bad, but occasionally there will be new friends, the new turnaround is just for this, but also to live in this city with high prices". You see, life is like this. It always hits you too much and gives you a glimmer of hope. Everyone is like this. What reason do you have to give up? Didn't the hostess continue to run that humble cafe for the sake of her best friend's words, "You can't give up no matter what, you have to keep running it"? Maybe the heroine doesn't have a name because she is who we are.
